Start action

Belgian motorsport association RACB had raised concerns over the prospect of two high-profile championships competing in Belgium on the same weekend, but it has now approved the DTM season-opener's April 24-26 date.

It is understood that the RACB has now informed the FIA and it means the 2020 DTM calendar's approval should now be a formality.

The move will be welcome for the DTM, as a rearranged date would likely have led to Formula 1 and Formula E clashes, while few of its venues could have taken over Zolder's slot.

2020 DTM calendar:

Date Venue April 24-26 Belgium Zolder May 15-17 Germany Lausitzring May 29-31 Russian Federation Igora Drive June 12-14 Sweden Anderstorp June 26-28 Italy Monza July 10-12 Germany Norisring August 22-23 United Kingdom Brands Hatch September 4-6 Netherlands Assen September 11-13 Germany Nurburgring October 2-4 Germany Hockenheim
