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 16 manufacturers' championships make up our impressive record.
2025 season
The 2025 DTM season comprised eight race weekends in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands and set a new record in the GT3 era with nine participating manufacturers. We were represented with four Mercedes-AMG GT3s. Lucas Auer and Tom Kalender formed the line-up for Mercedes-AMG Team Landgraf. Maro Engel and Jules Gounon contested the championship for Mercedes-AMG Team Winward Racing.
Despite strong competition, our teams achieved two victories, nine further podium finishes, two pole positions and three fastest race laps in our 36th DTM year. Thanks to consistent points finishes, we successfully defended our manufacturers' title, securing it for the 16th time.
With Lucas Auer, Maro Engel and Jules Gounon, three Mercedes-AMG drivers still had a chance of winning the title going into the final race at the Hockenheimring. Lucas Auer and Maro Engel finished the season in second and third place in the drivers' standings. Jules Gounon achieved three podium finishes and ninth place overall in his debut year. Tom Kalender, the youngest DTM driver of all time at 17, achieved his best result with fifth place in the final race. The Mercedes-AMG Team Winward Racing also won the DTM Pit Stop Challenge and finished third in the team 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. The German finishes all ten races in the top five and is crowned DTM champion for the fifth time after 1995, 2000, 2001 and 2003. His Vodafone/Salzgitter AMG-Mercedes team wins the team classification.
