Spa to host DTM season-opener after Norisring weekend cancelled

Published on 05 Jun 2020 15:08

By: Fergal Walsh

DTM has confirmed that the opening race of the 2020 season will take at Spa-Francorchamps after the city of Nuremberg in Germany didn't grant permission for the Norisring weekend to take place.

Earlier this week, the German touring car championship announced its new schedule with the Norisring listed as the opening round from July 10 to 12.

The championship now features nine rounds across Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, with Spa now commencing the season at the start of August.

“The decision not to grant governmental permission for the DTM races at the Norisring came as a surprise to us,” said ITR managing director Marcel Mohaupt.

“However, we respect the decision by the City of Nuremberg. For the DTM, too, safety of everyone involved has the highest priority. Now, we are looking forward to the new season opener at Spa-Francorchamps.”

The new calendar is now as follows;

Venue	Date
Spa-Francorchamps	01 - 02 August
Lausitzring	14 - 16 August
Lausitzring	21 - 23 August
Assen	04 - 06 September
Nurburgring Grand Prix	11 - 13 September
Nurburgring Sprint	18 - 20 September
Zolder	09 - 11 October
Zolder	16 - 18 October
Hockenheim	06 - 08 November
