The 2015 DTM season is almost upon us and will be some of the best touring car racing on the planet! If you're like me, you are super excited to get the DTM rolling once more. In anticipation, I've tried to compile as much helpful information and links for you and I to refer to. Feel free to add anything here to this thread pertaining to the leadup to the new season!
First up will be the last testing at Estoril on March 25th - 29th
"The official teams of Audi, BMW and Mercedes that will participate in April the first race of the DTM championship in Hockenheim, Germany, are since the beginning of this week testing at the Estoril Circuit.
Estoril was chosen because it is the circuit that provides to technicians and engineers the best feed back for immediate evaluation and more accurate responses to the demanding conditions to which the cars are subjected.
A total of 250 people, including pilots, engineers, technicians, support teams will be this month in Estoril in a series of tests that mark the debut of the BMW in direct confrontation with the Audi and Mercedes, old DTM fighters.
Access to the Estoril Circuit is closed to the public by enforcement of trademarks.
Remember that among the drivers testing at Estoril's Filipe Albuquerque, the Portuguese driver that integrates the official pictures of Audi Sport Team Rosberg."

The race meeting at the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg will not only represent the debut of the new racing format for the 2015 season, featuring two championship rounds per race weekend but in addition, the DTM support programme also will comprise another spectacular highlight: a championship round of the spectacular race series ‘FIA World Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy’ (World RX).
