The DTM event in Munich’s ’Olympiapark’
DTM
Munich - From the 2011 season, the DTM enthusiasts may look forward to a very special highlight: on 16th and 17th July 2011, Munich’s Olympic Stadium, located in the city’s ’Olympiapark’, will stage a top-class show event for the first time.
The spectators attending the two-day event will witness qualifying rounds on Saturday and knockout races on Sunday. The special feature of the event: in every round, two drivers will battle it out against one another. They will start on the same track but at different positions. So, all the spectators will have the chance of exactly comparing the performance of the two drivers. The races will be held on a 1.192-kilometre tarmac track built extra for this event in the stadium. The circuit will meet all the safety standards of a conventional DTM circuit.
DTM race action on two event days
The Saturday will be used to look for the fastest Audi driver and the fastest Mercedes-Benz driver who are then going to battle it out against one another to identify the quickest DTM ace of day one. Following a prologue, the drivers will contest a team internal competition. The result of these preliminary rounds also represents the basis for the knockout-race fixtures on Sunday. In each race of the round of 16, an Audi and a Mercedes-Benz driver will compete against one another on the track, with each DTM driver contesting the event with the DTM car he also is racing in the regular rounds of the season.
The support programme
On both days, the DTM race action will be spiced up by a top-class support programme. In addition to live concerts of international music interpreters, a Red Bull Racing Formula 1 driver is going to execute demonstration runs with his Formula 1 single-seater. Furthermore, classic racing cars will thrill the crowds in the ’World of Race Cars’. The Red Bull X-Fighters also will be on site to stun the spectators with their spectacular freestyle motocross show. The programme will be completed by a power-slide show and a motorbike-stunt show.
