DTM Season Finale Hockenheim — Tradition and Spectacle
The Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg has been closely associated with DTM since 1984 — as the home race track of the German Touring Car Championship. The season finale at the Hockenheimring has long been the most spectacular date in the DTM calendar: the championship is decided here, and fans of the GT3 class celebrate one of the highlights of the European motorsport summer. In 2026, the finale will take place from October 9th to 11th.
Hockenheimring — The Grand Prix Circuit
The venue is the Grand Prix circuit of the Hockenheimring — 4.5 kilometers of asphalt, one of the most famous race tracks in Europe. Until 2019, the Hockenheimring alternated with the Nürburgring in hosting the German Formula 1 Grand Prix. Today, the track is fully booked for DTM, ADAC GT Masters, Truck Grand Prix, Touring Car Championship, and numerous international series. The Motodrom with its massive grandstands can accommodate over 100,000 spectators.
2026 Program — DTM and ADAC GT Masters in Parallel
DTM and ADAC GT Masters share the weekend — both series will race their season finale concurrently on the same race weekend. The 2026 DTM format: Two one-hour races per weekend (Saturday and Sunday), with one mandatory pit stop on Saturday and two mandatory pit stops on Sunday. A maximum of six mechanics are allowed to work during the pit stop — the pit crews compete for the fastest tire changes. More than 20 GT3 race cars from eight manufacturers are on the starting grid.
Hockenheim and the Rhein-Neckar District
Hockenheim (Rhein-Neckar district, AGS 08226, approx. 22,000 inhabitants) is located in the Upper Rhine Plain between Mannheim and Heidelberg. The small town is world-famous for its Hockenheimring — one of the most renowned race tracks in Europe. The Hockenheimring is not just a motorsport venue but also a cultural brand: concerts, trade fairs, tourist drives (own car rental), driver training, and manufacturer test tracks make the ring an all-year-round location.
