While the DTM's switch to GT3 machinery was seen as a turn off by many, the championship has delivered some exciting racing action on track this year, with four drivers in shot of the title heading to the Norisring.
Leading the standings is Red Bull Formula 1 junior Liam Lawson on 206 points, followed by Abt Audi's Kelvin van der Linde (192), factory Mercedes driver Maximilian Gotz (180) and BMW ace Marco Wittmann (165).
Lawson has arguably been the most consistent driver of the season so far, finishing on the podium in all but three races in the AF Corse Ferrari.
Van der Linde was the title favourite for much of the season, but his title hopes took a hit at the Red Bull Ring and Assen rounds - and he now faces a 14-point deficit to Lawson with two races to go at Norisring.
Gotz can be considered an outside contender for the title in the HRT Mercedes, while Wittmann doesn't have any more than a mathematical chance of winning a third championship in the DTM following a disastrous weekend last time out at Hockenheim.
This weekend's Norisring round will see Super Formula and SUPER GT champion Nick Cassidy making his first DTM appearance since the 2019 season finale at Hockenheim, replacing Red Bull Formula 1 reserve Alex Albon in the second of the AF Corse Ferraris.
