About 2012 DTM
In 2012, the most popular international touring car series is starting into a new era. With the return of BMW, the DTM turns into the prestigious battle of the three German premium car manufacturers. The new spectacular generation of cars, represented by the Audi A5 DTM, BMW M3 DTM and DTM AMG Mercedes C-Coupé, is even safer than before, more cost-effective at the same time, but first and foremost a guarantee for excellent and thrilling motorsport. The focal points for the new DTM regulations for the 2012 season were safety, cost-control, equal chances and show. In spite of significant cost reductions, equal chances for all competitors are guaranteed more than ever for the future. In the process, entertainment and competition are taking centre stage, alongside the safety aspect.
In order to achieve future-oriented DTM regulations, organisations and manufacturers involved have been working together in a unique way. The manufacturers competing in the DTM, Audi and Mercedes-Benz, together with BMW, the DTM's supporting association ITR and the technical specialists of the DMSB have developed a fully revised set of rules. All parties involved took the time that was necessary to achieve this. For reasons of economical efficiency, technical development of the cars had been banned from 2009. The DTM cars of the 2012 generation are totally following the tradition of the most popular international touring car series, but still incorporate a wealth of novelties.
"For all three premium manufacturers, one elementary common goal already became apparent in the initial talks about the technical regulations of the 'new' DTM, and that was safety. After all, we care about the safety of our drivers and for us, there are no compromises in this respect. We are very proud of the collective development of this very high safety standard with joint resources", BMW's head of motorsport, Jens Marquardt, concluded, thus highlighting the point of view of the manufacturers involved. In the DTM, safety has always had priority. Proof of this, among others, is the fact that even serious accidents in DTM history didn't have major consequences. Accordingly, the main goal of the net DTM regulations was to incorporate all the safety innovations that were available and to largely exceed the existing safety standards. To this end, the new DTM cars underwent more crash tests conducted by FIA and DMSB than ever before.
One of the biggest revolutions of the new DTM cars are the standard safety structures designed to protect the driver in case of an accident. Next to the six crash elements at the sides, the front and the rear, the combination of the standard monocoque and roll cage with integrated safety tank protects the driver better in case of an accident. Moreover, the seat, similar to single-seater race cars, was integrated into the carbon fibre monocoque that is connected to a roll cage of high-strength steel. This innovative safety cell is the heart of all the DTM cars.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Kevin May
