DTM: Action in the Eifel
The races on the shorter “sprint” track attract tens of thousands of spectators every year and will be hosting the second of the two DTM race weekends in the Eifel during 2020. The Nürburgring is also the home round for Audi Sport Team Phoenix. Ernst Moser’s team, which has twice produced the DTM Champion, is based just a few kilometres from the “Ring” in Meuspath. A home victory has proved elusive so far for Audi Sport Team Phoenix.
For the second race weekend at the Nürburgring in 2020, the DTM does not use the entire Grand Prix circuit, but instead the so-called ‘sprint track’ with a length of 3.629 km. The track features a combination of fast and slow sections and penalises mistakes.
Two good overtaking opportunities exist at the end of the start-finish straight and entering the chicane at the end of the back straight.

The Nürburgring is a 150,000 person capacity motorsports complex located in the town of Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It features a Grand Prix race track built in 1984, and a much longer Nordschleife "North loop" track which was built in the 1920s around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel mountains. The north loop is 20.8 km (12.9 mi) long and has more than 300 metres (1,000 feet) of elevation change from its lowest to highest points. Jackie Stewart nicknamed the old track "The Green Hell".
