Season Guide
2017 2019

The 2018 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters Championship, otherwise abbreviated to the 2018 DTM Season, was the nineteenth edition of the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, staged between May and October 2018.[1] The 2018 season would be a significant chapter in the revived DTM's history, for it was the last to feature V8 engines and a rulebook unique to the series.[2]

René Rast would start the 2018 campaign as the defending Champion, although he opted to keep #33 as his race number as he stuck with Audi and Team Rosberg.[3] Likewise, Audi would start the season as the defending manufacturers Champions, while Team Rosberg campaigned as the reigning Teams Champions.[3]

2018 would prove to be a year-long swansong for Mercedes-Benz, who announced that they would leave the series at the end of the season to focus on Formula E.[4] They would duly win the opening race of the season courtesy of the efforts of Gary Paffett, before the Brit fought wheel-to-wheel with Timo Glock of BMW for the second race of the weekend, with the German ultimately emerging ahead.[5]

Paffett would go on to claim two more victories before the midway point of the season, with fellow Merc drivers Paul di Resta and Edoardo Mortara also claiming victories. Marco Wittmann, meanwhile, would collect two victories for BMW, while Audi and Rast had to wait until the second race at Zandvoort to claim their first victory of the season.[6]

However, the second half of the season would prove to be all about Rast, with the German ace claiming six consecutive victories as he made a late bid for the Championship.[7] Unfortunately for him Paffett would do just enough to keep ahead of the charge to claim his second DTM crown, ending the season just four ahead of the German.[7]

It was a different story in the Teams and Manufacturers' Championships however, with Mercedes and HWA running out as comfortable winners in both.[7] Indeed, it was to be a clean sweep for the three point star with Paffett claiming the Drivers' Championship, with all three elements moving to FE at the end of the season.[4]

Background[]

Calendar[]

The 2018 DTM calendar featured some interesting changes to the schedule penned for the 2017 season, with two new venues added to the calendar, while the races in Moscow were dropped.[1] Indeed, in came a pair of night races at the Misano World Circuit, bringing the DTM back to Italy in late August, following a return to Brands Hatch in the UK earlier in the same month.[1] Their inclusion hence resulted in a ten round/twenty race long calendar, with eight rounds carried over from 2017.[1]

Indeed, the season would start with the traditional curtain raiser staged at the Hockenheimring in early May, before a visit to the Lausitzring two weeks later.[1] A trip to the Hungaroring followed, the first of five rounds outside of Germany, before the series headed back to home soil and the Norisring on the 23/24 June.[1] The Circuit Park Zandvoort would then host its annual DTM races on the 14/15 July, before the two aforementioned rounds at Brands Hatch and Misano in August.[1]

September would see the Nürburgring take its turn at hosting the DTM, before the field conveined at the Red Bull Ring in Austria for the final non-German round of the season.[1] With that the series would then head back to the Hockenheimring for the season finale, with the final race scheduled for the 14 October.[1] Elsewhere there would be three tests across the season, one held at Hockenheim as a pre-season test, before two post-season tests at Estoril and the Circuito de Jerez in November and December respectively.[8]
