2022 Imola DTM: Start time, how to watch and more

Schubert driver Sheldon van der Linde leads the championship heading to Imola following a rare double win at the Lausitzring last month in the new BMW M4 GT3.

Super consistent Mirko Bortolotti trails van der Linde by 15 points in second and will be hoping to score a maiden win on his and Lamborghini's home turf.

Third in the championship is Mercedes man Lucas Auer, while Audi's Nico Muller makes it four drivers from as many different manufacturers in the top four.

This weekend marks the first time the DTM is visiting Imola after racing at Monza and Misano in recent years, meaning the form guide remains unclear heading into the sole Italian round of the season.
