The DTM is a sports car racing series sanctioned by ADAC. The series is based in Germany, with rounds elsewhere in Europe. In its first years the official name of the “new DTM” was Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, but since 2005 all official documents only call it DTM. The series currently races a modified version of Group GT3 grand touring cars, replacing the silhouette later Class 1 touring cars of earlier years.
From 2000 to 2020, the new DTM continued the former Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (German Touring Car Championship) and ITC (International Touring Car Championship) which had been discontinued after 1996 due to high costs. The series raced prototype silhouette racing cars based on a mass-production road car in the same period.
