The golden years of DTM

The original DTM was started in 1984 as Deutschen Produktionswagen Meisterschaft (German Production Car Championship), with cars entered by privateer teams and under FIA Group A rules, but was extensively modified throughout the years, allowing more modifications. In the late 1980s, works teams joined the DTM, and it became one of the most popular motorsport championships in Europe.
Turbochargers were banned at the start of 1990 season due to cost reasons.
In 1993, the Group A rules were abandoned in favor of a more liberalised 2.5 L engine category called FIA Class 1 Touring Cars, with extensive use of ABS, four-wheel drive, electronic driver aids and carbon fibre chassis, the former three were technologies that were banned from F1. Opel, Mercedes-Benz and Alfa Romeo all fielded works teams after Audi and BMW had abandoned earlier.
When driving for fun, not money!

Great video. I certainly agree this was the golden era of the DTM. I find the racing more interesting when the cars are genuinely production based, like here. Modern DTM cars are sort of cool....in a spaceship kind of way....but they have virtually no connection with actual production cars from any of the manufacturers.

[@danieldimitrov9148]

I agree with you. Тoday the feeling is not the same!

80's and 90's were the best decades for ALL auto racing. F1, Indycar, Nascar, WEC, DTM list goes on and on. The last pure decades.

Great video but John Cleland "going for first" is BTCC not DTM

[@peterdevreter]

race on sunday sell on monday. My neighbour back then had a jagermeister M3 on his driveway. awesome car. And in the late 90's you could buy a descent M3 for about 15000 euro's.

[@peekaboo1575]

I love those Audi V8s. Mercedes and BMW were focusing on homologation specials with high-revving 2300~2500cc i4 engines, nice aerodynamics, balanced FR layouts and so on. Then came Audi with a luxurious AWD V8 brick to take the championship. Brilliant.
