Description

Apart from the Nürburgring, the Hockenheimring is the most tradition-rich German racetrack and staged its first events back in 1932. Since the DTM debut season, back in 1984, Hockenheim has been a constant on the DTM calendar, with the 1985 season representing the only exception. Since 1995, every DTM season has been kicked-off in Baden-Württemberg. This is the event that demonstrates how well the manufacturers and teams prepared for the forthcoming season and which drivers have got what it takes to become a factor in the battle for the title. Since the revival of the series in 2000, the Mercedes camp dominated the season kick-off more often than any other manufacturer. 12 of the total of 22 races were won by the brand with the star. The latest season kick-off win for the Stuttgarters was secured last year by Lucas Auer.
