DTM teams have expressed relief that the series will continue to remain the same under new ownership in 2023 following its takeover by ADAC
ADAC’s former flagship GT Masters series will share grids with the LMP3-based Prototype Cup Germany series under the DTM Endurance banner, with Platinum-graded drivers banned, as part of a reorganisation in its pyramid of motorsport series designed to prioritise DTM. Ulrich Fritz, the team principal of 2021 DTM title-winning Mercedes outfit HRT, told Autosport: “There was everything open.
“It’s a pure, professional racing series and you go for performance in every aspect of the team. Not only the driver, not only the car, it’s also the team which has to be perfect with great pitstops and whatever.
“Within the German-speaking environment, I think it’s probably the best partner you can have. ADAC already with its size and strength and organisation, you know that there is some power behind and a will, so I take that as a positive.“But the key point is the decisions are taken, and the show goes on.”
“First of all that we know what kind of platform there will be, because that was very unknown,” he said.
