5 October 2026

The iRacing DTM Series brings the format of Germany's premier touring car championship to the simulation platform, with races scheduled for Thursday evenings at 8 PM in the AEDT, CET, ET, and PT time zones to accommodate participants worldwide.

Each race runs for 55 minutes under timed format, mirroring the structure of the real-world DTM series. The series uses the same cars as the 2026 DTM championship, with fuel tank capacity limited to introduce pit strategy as a tactical element during competition.

The opening round takes place at Hockenheimring. Further details about the iRacing DTM Series are available on the iRacing website.
