Will Marco Wittmann clinch his third DTM title in his BMW at Hockenheim?

Marco Wittmann heads to Hockenheim for the grand DTM season finale with his head held high. In the second half of the season, the BMW driver really stepped up a gear and fought his way back into the title race in impressive fashion. Following strong performances, including two wins and several podium finishes, he is now just 24 points behind the leader heading into the finale.

At the Nürburgring, the 36-year-old celebrated his 20th DTM victory and followed it up straight away with another win at the Sachsenring, even though the undulating circuit is not considered a BMW track.

“I’m going into the final as the chaser and have nothing to lose. Hockenheim has always been a good track for me; it’s great fun to drive,” says Wittmann, who has already won four DTM races at the historic circuit near Mannheim.

In 2014, the Fürth-born driver celebrated his very first DTM victory at the Motodrom; in the same year, he also clinched his first championship title. Two years later, he secured his second title. Ten years on, Wittmann has the chance to add a third DTM trophy to his collection in Schubert Motorsport’s BMW M4 GT3, sporting Schaeffler’s eye-catching ‘Green Machine’ livery. He is the most experienced driver in the DTM title race and now aims to capitalise on that experience to secure his third title.
