01
Oschersleben
- DTM race 2024: 26 to 28 April 2024
- Length: 3.696 km
- Number of corners: 14
The Motorsport Arena Oschersleben is one of the oldest DTM circuits, as the circuit, which opened in 1997, is the third permanent race track in Germany (after the Nürburgring and Hockenheimring).
The 3.696-kilometre circuit in the Magdeburger Börde is one of the most challenging tracks in the 2024 DTM season, while the arena design means that spectators have a perfect view of the racing action from almost anywhere.
The infield and two long straights in particular promise plenty of fierce battles for position and overtaking manoeuvres. As part of the 2024 DTM season, the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben will mark the season opener, with the first two races of the season taking place between 26 April and 28 April 2024.

Spielberg
The team prepare for the race at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria, and Liam Lawson goes for an extreme flight.
02
Lausitzring
- DTM race 2024: 24 to 26 May 2024
- Length: 4.570 km
- Number of corners: 13
The Lausitzring in Klettwitz in southern Brandenburg, which opened in 2000, is also one of the oldest DTM circuits. On 3 September 2000, around two weeks after the opening, the touring car racing series made its first guest appearance on the circuit, which has a total of nine different track variants and various test tracks.
The second race of the 2024 DTM season will take place on the Lausitzring's 4.570 km Grand Prix circuit, where the tight start corner and back straight in particular promise exciting driving manoeuvres.
Another highlight of the Lausitzring is the 36 metre high grandstand, which provides an impressive all-round view of the racing action.
03
Circuit Zandvoort
- DTM race 2024: 07 to 09 June 2024
- Length: 4.259 km
- Number of corners: 15
Between 2001 and 2018, the circuit in the Netherlands was on the DTM calendar without interruption and has always enjoyed cult status thanks to its fast changes of direction and combinations of corners.
The treacherous hills and bumps are also characteristic of a race and Zandvoort, which, in combination with the dune sand of the nearby coast, demand everything from the drivers and the cars.
Since the 2021 season, Formula 1 has also returned to the iconic circuit for the first time since 1985. A certain Max Verstappen has secured victory in his home race in each of the three previous guest appearances.
04
Norisring
- DTM race 2024: 05 to 07 July
- Length: 2.300 km
- Number of corners: 8
With a length of just 2.3 kilometres, the Norisring is the shortest track in the 2024 DTM season, but the city circuit in Nuremberg still has a lot to offer. In particular, the narrow track layout with two long straights, some of which are directly adjacent to each other, promises exciting racing action.
The DTM cars reach their top speed on the long start and finish straight and have to go flat out at the end to master the tight Grundig hairpin at speeds of around 50 km/h.
In combination with the narrow track and the omnipresent crash barriers, a race at the Norisring is an absolute tightrope act that thrills drivers and fans alike.
05
Nürburgring
- DTM race 2024: 16 to 18 August 2024
- Length: 5.148 km
- Number of corners: 16

Nürburgring
There are highs and lows for the Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse team in round four at Germany's Nürburgring.
Of course, the time-honoured Nürburgring will also feature in the 2024 DTM season. The race will take place on the 5.1 km Grand Prix circuit in the Eifel region, where touring cars raced at the opening in 1984 and where Formula 1 also made guest appearances.
The unpredictable weather in particular makes the races at the Nürburgring a very special experience; the change from bright sunshine to pouring rain feels particularly fast at the Ring.
- Formula 1 at the Nürburgring: In September 2023, we set the iconic circuit alight with'Red Bull Formula Nürburgring'. Legends of motorsport on two and four wheels took part. Get the highlights of the event in the recap:
06
Sachsenring
- DTM race 2024: 06 to 08 September 2024
- Length: 3.671 km
- Number of corners: 14
Motorsport events were first held on the old Sachsenring street circuit, which is no longer used today, back in 1927; the new Sachsenring was then inaugurated as a permanent race track in 1996.
The circuit in Hohenstein-Ernstthal and Oberlungwitz is particularly well known to fans of the motorbike world championship, as the Sachsenring has been the home of the MotoGP German Grand Prix since 1998 - Spaniard Marc Márquez is the record winner of the MotoGP class with eight triumphs at the Ring.
The DTM returned to the Sachsenring for the first time in a long time in the 2023 season, and the race track will also be part of the calendar again in 2024: Between 06 and 08 September 2024, the engines of the GT3 racing cars will once again roar at the Ring.
07
Red Bull Ring
- DTM race 2024: 27 to 29 September 2024
- Length: 4.326 km
- Number of corners: 10
The Red Bull Ring, which opened back in 1969, has also been a popular fixture on the DTM calendar since its reopening in 2011 and gave New Zealander Liam Lawson victory for Red Bull AF Corse in 2021. The following year, his compatriot Nick Cassidy won the race at Spielberg for AlphaTauri AF Corse.
With its many uphill and downhill sections, the Red Bull Ring is one of the most demanding circuits on the DTM calendar. The sharp right-hand bend after the start and the hairpin bend after the long uphill straight are particularly challenging.
08
Hockenheimring
- DTM race 2024: 18 to 20 October 2024
- Length: 4.574 km
- Number of bends: 17
The legendary Hockenheimring in Baden-Württemberg was opened back in 1932. Long-time Formula 1 fans still have fond memories of the original circuit with its long straights and narrow Motodrom.
In 2002, the former high-speed circuit was shortened considerably, but this has not changed the intense feeling of being right in the middle of the action in the Motodrom.
Since the DTM was re-established in 2000, both the opening race and the season finale have usually taken place at the Hockenheimring, which is why the circuit is also known as the "living room of the DTM".
Of course, the iconic race will not be missing in the new season either and will form the finale of the 2024 DTM Championship between 18 October and 20 October 2024, as it did last year.
