DTM adjusts Zandvoort schedule due to Le Mans test

Key Facts

• After already having to alter the programme for this month’s Lausitzring round at the request of TV partner ProSieben, which is also broadcasting the Ice Hockey World Championship, the start of the second Zandvoort race has also been pushed back due to a scheduling conflict with the Le Mans test.
• "Therefore, together with the teams and our TV partner ProSieben, we have agreed to postpone the start on Sunday so that DTM drivers can take part in the Le Mans test.
• Originally, the ADAC didn’t see the need to change the timings of the Zandvoort round, as the Le Mans test is not compulsory and even rookies like Wittmann can theoretically complete their mandatory laps in a practice session on the following Wednesday.
• This will allow drivers who compete in both Le Mans and the DTM to fly to France on Saturday evening, with an airport located right next to the track, and then take part in the test on Sunday morning.
