DTM could limit each manufacturer to just six cars next season as part of its efforts to keep the grid size under control.
Following the conclusion of the 2022 DTM season at Hockenheim last weekend, promoter ITR has already begun work for what would be the series’ third year under GT3 regulations., which take up the same amount of space in the pitlane as a full-scale outfit, the DTM could also set a hard limit of six entries per manufacturer from 2023 in order to create a more balanced field.
Infrastructure limitations at some tracks such as the Lausitzring is seen as the chief reason behind the push to limit the number of cars on the grid for next year. "There are a few racetracks where space in the pit lane is limited. In addition, we always need a bit of a buffer for a good guest car. The ideal number is 28. With 30 cars it gets really tight."
"Everyone is very happy with the return of investment they get in the DTM," said Berger. “Everyone is also aware that it's not a no-brainer. Former Porsche sportscar director Pascal Zurlinden, who now works at Multimatic, was also present at the German venue for the final round of the season. Multimatic has been heavily involved in the development of the new Ford Mustang GT3 racer that is also set for debut in 2024.
