DTM 2021 - Page 3

It seems not. But first four cars of a manufacturer will have a lower entry fee.

Bcarr6 · 30 Nov 2020, 13:46 (Ref:4019673)

Got to think Gruppe M would favour Marciello given his history with them.

Wouldnt be suprised to see Engel land a palce in the series in another AMG, maybe Haupt Racing Team

Matt K · 30 Nov 2020, 16:21 (Ref:4019709)

Also thought about it especially as Haupt were among the interested teams.

krzysiek_aleks · 1 Dec 2020, 06:31 (Ref:4019802)

Or Toksport - it seems like he has great relationship with them.

Pandamasque · 2 Dec 2020, 01:12 (Ref:4020068)

What are the repercussions of Audi's announcement regarding DTM? Only private-funded entries? None at all?

Matt K · 2 Dec 2020, 12:12 (Ref:4020142)

Aren't you a bit late to the party?
There'll be no factory teams in DTM next year.

for now guess this is a half truth... for sure there won't be anymore 6 official audi sport cars, but I think there will be some backed team around

Well, I thought it'd look somewhat like the Spa 24h. Are you saying the vibe is to be more Creventic-like?

Matt K · 2 Dec 2020, 20:45 (Ref:4020246)

Who knows actually

but I think there'll be some support from manufacturers, at least when it comes to Audi, BMW (probably in 2022), maybe Mercedes or Porsche.

tux · 10 Dec 2020, 10:27 (Ref:4021912)

Here we go then, it seems 2seas motorsport who we’re planning a GTWCE program for next season will now race DTM instead.

Hoping we can get teams like Land, Toksport, Grasser, Lechner, Phoenix, R Motorsport etc on board for this series. Cool that somebody came in with a McLaren. Would love to see another wild card factor entry from an Acura or Lexus entry to come in to. I wonder if the KTM Cross Bow would be allowed. They won against the GT3 cars in GT open at Red Bull Ring this year. That car and Glickenhaus should be eligible too.

They had that win removed post race for not following the rules

I would be great, but there are still 2 (3, depending on what Monza date will be picked) date clashes with ADAC GT Masters, I haven't checked how it looks like with GTWC.

Matt K · 10 Dec 2020, 20:26 (Ref:4022038)

Good to see another team sort of confirmed, I also hope we'll have big GT teams like Land, Grasser etc. Unfortunately it seems WRT won't be there, wonder what about Grasser. They have voiced their interest but have committed to three cars in ADAC GT since. Wonder what does it say about their possible DTM involvement?

I don't know much about german racing politics. I can assume that ADAC GT and DTM series organizers are not friends. A tug of war for teams looks like is on.

Matt K · 10 Dec 2020, 21:03 (Ref:4022048)

Yes, you're absolutely right. The relationship between ADAC and ITR is terribly strained nowadays. Maybe it'll be seen on teams's choices as well.

Bcarr6 · 17 Dec 2020, 11:00 (Ref:4023400)

ABT SPORTLINE to carry on in DTM with 2x R8 GT3's, first current DTM team to announce their continuation.

That announcement brings us 25% the way to a good car count....

DTM 2021

2 Seas Motorsport - Mclaren 720s GT3 - TBA
2 Seas Motorsport - Mclaren 720s GT3 - TBA
Abt Sportline - Audi R8 LMS GT3 - TBA
Abt Sportline - Audi R8 LMS GT3 - TBA
GruppeM Racing - Mercedes AMG GT3 - TBA

Matt K · 17 Dec 2020, 13:45 (Ref:4023431)

That's a good announcement. As for what I understand there's a chance for Müller and Frijns both continuing provided the FE amends its calendar so that there are no clashes. Anyway we'll probably see two high-class drivers racing for Abt.

According to Motorsport Total, Phoenix and Rosberg are also likely to stay in DTM.

Earlier Audi stories suggested they were committed to supporting (in some way) 4 R8 GT3's, be cool to see 6!

Matt K · 17 Dec 2020, 18:21 (Ref:4023470)

Would be very cool indeed! I'm disappointed by lack of WRT. Basically the only private team in Class One, I thought it'd be a no brainer to stay in DTM with GT3 cars for them.

Rumour has it they are giving priority to a possible WEC or ELMS programma to get aquainted with that type of cars and racing. They want to get to Le Mans, eventually.
And they surely have an eye on the Audi LMDh programme.

Same for Phoenix who have confirmed an LMP2 and an LMP3 in Asian Le Mans series today.

And with it, for a fleeting moment, Mclaren GT3's are the most populus car on a GT3 grid outside of British GT.

Matt K · 19 Dec 2020, 01:07 (Ref:4023806)

That's interesting. For now just one confirmed, with a chance of two. I really wonder who the drivers will be.

Supposedly Jenson may do a couple of guest appearances depending on the situation
