The DTM is enjoying a resurgence. After the difficult COVID years and the switch to GT3 regulations in 2021, fan interest has developed positively in recent seasons. This is evident not only from a look at the grandstands, but also in the figures: in 2025 there was another strong increase of almost 10%, and since ADAC’s first season in charge in 2023, attendance has risen by around 20%.
It's a trend that has not gone unnoticed by manufacturers. “We’re pleased that the platform has developed so well over the past three years under ADAC, and we hope it continues this way,” said Thomas Jager, Mercedes-AMG’s sporting director responsible for DTM activities, at the well-attended 2025 season finale at Hockenheim.
