DTM testing limits necessary to prevent ‘costs exploding to the moon’ – Wittmann
There is a hard cap on private testing in the DTM this year with teams not allowed to freely run their GT3 cars outside of race weekends from this month. Each team is permitted five days of testing per driver but exact restrictions from ADAC are not public. DTM’s top outfits used to spend a third of their budget on private testing. Double champion Wittmann sees the move as important to keep program costs in check and ensure teams stay in the series. Wittmann is optimistic about his transition to Schubert Motorsport for 2024 and aims to bring his experience to help push BMW forward in the championship.
