More power for Aston Martin – Mercedes-AMG held back ahead of DTM finale

Ahead of the final race day of this year’s DTM season, the SRO’s technical department is making slight adjustments to the DTM car classifications. Aston Martin has been given a better classification, whilst Mercedes-AMG has been slightly reined in. All other cars remain unchanged.

So far, the Comtoyou Racing Aston Martins have been trailing the field at the finale in Hockenheim; both Vantages spent much of the first race at the back of the DTM field. For Sunday’s race at Hockenheim, the British coupé is permitted to shed ten kilograms, making the car the lightest in the field at 1,295 kilograms. In addition, the boost pressure in the high rev range will be increased so that the car has more power at top speed. The minimum rear wing angle will be increased by 4° to 11°.

The Mercedes-AMG GT3 must carry an additional five kilograms, meaning the car, at 1,340 kilograms, will be the heaviest in the field.
