DTM Brands Hatch FRIDAY 8th June

[desantnik]

Anyone fancy the DTM this year?

Its Indy circuit only and myself and a couple of (photographer) mates are going on the Friday practice day (cheaper, less crowds!)

Assuming the weather is good that is!

Ahhhh, cars. :D Thanks guys.

Some very nice shots in your gallery EO. :thumbs: ...Ross? :)


Looks like a great day, unfortunately I be doing my normal job on Friday, couldn't get down their till mid-afternoon.

The thing is though, and excuses me for being stupid, but what does DTM stand for ...just out of interest like. ...I've just been searching and I reckon it’s probably not a German website containing men’s foam covered bottoms, :gag: .. Nor is it the department of terrestrial magnetism. ...

So..Driver test machines..?

Thanks :thumbs:

DTM stands for Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft

or German Touringcar Championship in literal English translation. The cars they run are absolute beasts. They use 4 litre V8 32v engines which produce around 500 bhp, in a car that weighs around 1070kg. Very loud and very fast.

I bet, that’s nearer to a bike pw ratio...yeeeha.

Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft... :D that’s the trouble with German they join all the words together and that really confuses google, lol. thanks m8.


Hope you have a goodun guys ... sounds will be fantastic. :D :thumbs:

This might be a bit late, but can I tempt anyone if I add that admission on Friday is ****FREE**** and so is parking on South Bank (ie inside the circuit with a view of the track from your car! Just in case you have never been before...)
