Tosa, Rivazza, Tamburello... names that make the hearts of motorsport fans beat faster. For the third race weekend of the 2022 season, the DTM will make its first guest appearance in its long history at the long-established Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola. And, fittingly for the premiere, the DTM will have a record field of starters: 30 cars, six different brands, drivers from 15 nations. On the Grand Prix circuit in Emilia-Romagna, two legendary sports car brands, Ferrari and Lamborghini, have their home game in the DTM. The "Motor Valley", where Ferrari has its headquarters in Maranello and Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese, is only a good hour away from Imola.
Ferrari, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary as a sports car manufacturer this year, is once again represented in the DTM by the Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse team. Brazilian Felipe Fraga and New Zealander Nick Cassidy will be on the grid as drivers. Lamborghini is involved in the DTM with a total of six cars: the Austrian Grasser Racing Team is fielding the Huracán in its debut year in the series for the two Italians Mirko Bortolotti and Alessio Deledda, the Swiss Rolf Ineichen and the Austrian Clemens Schmid, while Team T3 Motorsport is joined by the British Esmee Hawkey and the Dane Nicki Thiim, son of DTM Champion Kurt Thiim.
