DTM
A SUCCESS STORY
Since 1984, the DTM has stood for competition at the highest level and enjoys an international reputation as one of the most important racing series. Mercedes-Benz's official return to motorsport four years later marked the beginning of our success story in this legendary championship. Twelve drivers' titles, 14 team titles and 15 manufacturers' championships make up our impressive record.
2025 season
In the 2025 season, we compete in the DTM for the 36th time, taking to the grid as the reigning manufacturers' champions. A line-up of four Mercedes-AMG GT3s contests for victories and podiums across eight race weekends. Maro Engel and Jules Gounon race for Mercedes-AMG Team Winward Racing. After a one-year break, Mercedes-AMG Team Landgraf returns to the DTM. Lucas Auer is joined by Tom Kalender, who becomes the youngest driver in the history of the championship. Four of the eight weekends also feature races from the ADAC GT Masters, while the ADAC GT4 Germany appears on the DTM support programme at six events.

2024
15th manufacturers' championship
Four Mercedes-AMG GT3s compete in the 2024 season, securing no fewer than 13 podium finishes in the 16 races. Thanks to the consistently good results, we celebrate our 15th DTM manufacturers' championship at the end of the season. Maro Engel from Mercedes-AMG Team Winward clinches seven podium finishes in his most successful DTM season to date, fights for the drivers' title until the final race weekend and finishes third in the championship.
2021
Successful start into a new era
The use of GT3 cars from 2021 marks the beginning of a new era in the DTM. And in its first season under the new regulations, the Mercedes-AMG GT3 immediately lives up to its successful predecessors: the five Customer Racing Teams from Affalterbach take a total of six race wins. Maximilian Götz achieves three of them, entering his name in the history books as the first DTM drivers' champion of the new era. At the same time, we secure our 14th manufacturers' title.
2018
Three farewell titles
In 2018, we celebrate our 30th DTM season by securing all three possible championships in our anniversary year: Gary Paffett takes the drivers' title, Mercedes-AMG Motorsport PETRONAS finishes first in the team classification and the trophy for the best manufacturer also goes to Affalterbach. It is the perfect farewell for our Mercedes-AMG C63 DTM before Mercedes-AMG Motorsport retires from the sprint series at the end of the season.
2006
Record champion Bernd Schneider
Bernd Schneider wins his fifth DTM title with the AMG-Mercedes C-Class - an unrivalled milestone in the history of the series.
