DTM gets its own "Drive to Survive": What is "Behind the Grid"?
A dedicated camera crew follows Nicki Thiim at the Norisring on his way from the podium to the mixed zone, where the journalists are waiting. The Dane shows great emotion - on the race weekend that, with two wins, was to become his absolute breakthrough in the series. Only afterwards does it emerge that these were film recordings for the DTM's new TV and streaming documentary "Behind the Grid"…
The German Touring Car Championship (DTM) is set to unveil its own TV series titled "Behind the Grid," aiming to provide unique behind-the-scenes insights into the world of the traditional series. The documentary series, akin to Formula 1's "Drive to Survive," will be available on Joyn, ServusTV ON, Red Bull TV, and the DTM's official YouTube channel.
DTM managing director Claudia Wagner emphasizes that the series will highlight the personalities and stories of those involved in the championship, focusing on the 2026 season. Production company fahrwerkfilm will follow two DTM drivers each weekend, capturing moments that are not typically accessible to the public. The first episode is scheduled to air on 28 August 2026, with subsequent episodes released weekly until the season finale.
