iRacing and DTM are pleased to announce the all-new iRacing DTM Series for the 2026 season. Aligned with the real-world DTM calendar and running mid-week before each race, this series opens the thrill of DTM racing to the entire iRacing userbase with globally accessible start times.
The iRacing DTM Series brings the excitement of one of Germany’s premier road racing championships to iRacing. Since its shift to GT3 regulations in 2021, DTM has grown substantially, with larger fields and a talented mix of top young drivers and global racing legends. Many of DTM’s premier cars and tracks, including the season-opening Red Bull Ring, Nurburgring, and Hockenheimring season finale, are widely used on iRacing by a passionate global user base.
The iRacing DTM Series will feature eight rounds to correspond with the 2026 DTM schedule, with each round running days before a real-world DTM event. Races will be spread across Thursday evenings worldwide, with 8PM start times in the AEDT, CET, ET, and PT time zones that enable iRacing community members worldwide to find time to race.
The full 2026 iRacing DTM Series schedule is as follows:
April 23: Red Bull Ring
May 21: Circuit Zandvoort
June 18: Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
July 2: Brands Hatch Circuit
July 23: Motorsport Arena Oschersleben
August 13: Nürburgring Grand-Prix-Strecke
September 10: Sachsenring
October 8: Hockenheimring
Races feature a simple structure designed to mirror the excitement of DTM, with a 55-minute timed race that matches the real-world series. The same cars used in the 2026 DTM series will be used in the iRacing DTM Series, with a limited fuel tank designed to introduce pit strategy.
