Under the previous ITR regime, the DTM conceptualised a new DTM Electric championship based on 1000bhp single-make cars alongside its GT3-based platform that was due to start in 2024. But this was quietly dropped following the DTM's sale to leading German promoter the ADAC at the end of 2022.
However, speaking to Autosport at the recent Autosport International Show, ADAC motorsport director Voss said work had been continuing behind the scenes on incorporating an electrical element into the DTM as securing sponsorship "for race series with combustion engine cars gets harder and harder from year to year".
