DTM calendar 2027 announced: No internationalization for now, clashes with WEC
The DTM has officially presented its calendar for the 2027 season - and it does so without a ninth race weekend on international soil, with which series organizer ADAC had actually wanted to expand the calendar. Instead, the series remains loyal to its eight venues and, as in 2026, will start from April 23 to 25 in Austria at the Red Bull Ring, with the traditional season finale in October ...…
The DTM has announced its 2027 season calendar, maintaining its traditional eight race weekends and beginning on April 23-25 in Austria at the Red Bull Ring. Notably, there will be no additional race on international soil this year, as initially planned by ADAC, due to difficulties in finding a suitable track and the high costs associated with adding a new weekend.
Instead, the series will start with the Oschersleben race weekend on May 7-9, marking a shift in the calendar order. The Zandvoort race, previously held in late May, will now serve as the start of the second half of the season, taking place from August 6-8. The Lausitzring, Norisring, and Hockenheimring will host their respective races in the traditional July, August, and October slots.
Clashes with other racing series, including the WEC, IGTC, IMSA, and Formula E, have been noted, particularly with the second WEC weekend at Silverstone and the DTM's Sachsenring weekend.
