DTM considering holding qualifying just before race under 2024 rules shake-up

The ADAC is contemplating a major shift in the DTM weekend format that would see qualifying take place immediately before the race in 2024.

Under the current schedule, the starting grid for each race is decided by a 20-minute shootout at 9am, when many fans are yet to reach the track. As part of the proposed shake-up, a shorter qualifying could take place at 1pm, followed immediately by the race at 1:30pm - the standard starting time for all DTM races. This would give teams little time to plan their strategies for the race, which in theory should lead to more entertaining action on track.

However, this may not go down well with the Mercedes contingent, as the AMG GT3 takes longer to get its tyres up to temperature than other cars on the grid.

DTM teams currently spend a considerable number of resources to hold private tests on almost every track on the calendar.
