BMW driver Marco Wittmann has backed the ADAC’s decision to restrict testing in the DTM in 2024, saying it was necessary to prevent costs from ’exploding to the moon’.
There is a hard cap on the amount of private testing allowed in the DTM this year, with teams not allowed to freely run their GT3 cars outside of race weekends from the beginning of this month. Although the exact details about the restrictions imposed by the ADAC have not been made public, Motorsport.com understands that each team will be permitted five days of testing per driver. Sanctions for any violations are yet to be determined.
It follows calls from Wittmann to be given the same tools as other factory drivers Rast and van der Linde, having felt he couldn’t compete at the front with the underfunded Project 1 outfit last year. The 34-year-old feels having three top-line drivers in a single factory-supported team will push BMW forward this year as it aims to wrest back the crown in 2024.
