DTM, Super GT and IMSA: Class-1


DTM rights holder and promoter ITR eV and the Japanese Super GT organizer GTA have made initial agreements for new Class One on Wednesday.




The DTM and the Japanese Super GT make great strides in cooperation. After the technical regulations, especially in the areas of chassis and aerodynamics are the same in both racing series since the beginning of 2014, a single engine rules will apply from 2017. Two-liter, four-cylinder, turbocharged engine - these are the figures of the new "Class One" as it is called internationally. Then the DTM rights holder and promoter ITR eV and the Japanese Super GT organizer GTA, and all automobile manufacturers involved have agreed in a joint meeting on 30 September in Tokyo. The American Motor Sports Association IMSA also plans to tender race for the new class-1 regulations.

While the names and specific features are to be retained of each racing series, the representatives of DTM, Super GT and IMSA agreed on a number of technical details that will be incorporated under the name of "Class 1" in a common, globally applicable regulations.

Spectacular vehicles, a high level of safety and cost reduction for the development and deployment of the vehicles are in the foreground. While the external appearance corresponds to the latest generation of vehicles DTM and Super GT, it was agreed that from 2017 to do their job under the hood four cylinder turbo engines with two liters and an output of around 600 PS


In addition, the three race series have also been raised a number of details such as test limits, tire specifications or the use of DRS at the meeting of the "Steering Committee". Thus, the participants see themselves in the best way with a class 1 vehicle can also start in other championships from 2017 without major modifications.



"The agreement between the leading car manufacturers in Germany and Japan is an important milestone on the way to a common, globally valid Class 1 regulations," said Hans Werner Aufrecht, 1st Chairman of the ITR eV "The manufacturers are free to choose whether they now want a class 1 vehicle can compete in Suzuka, next week at the Nurburgring and next week in Daytona. This opens the automobile manufacturers new marketing opportunities. the common name 'class One' is an important element, as it were, the bracket that holds it all together.'s why I'm glad that we continue to demonstrate with this catchy phrase we have in common in Europe, Japan and the USA., we will then achieve an unprecedented brand diversity at the highest technical level and still provide the audience so exciting race . It's a fantastic idea that the spectacular vehicles, as we know from the DTM, will be used at the highest level and at a reasonable cost in the future world. "

Masaaki Bandoh, the chairman of the Japanese GTA, adds: "We had a very productive conversation we have here reached full agreement on all issues of the Technical Regulations With this agreement, we offer excellent opportunities for the automobile manufacturer, in the future not only in the.. national, and getting involved in all class-1 series.

On the day after the 2015 Nürburgring 24h Race, the ‘Class One’ steering committee, consisting of representatives of the Japanese GTA, the American IMSA and the DTM umbrella organisation ITR e.V., held its first meeting of the year and made ground-breaking decisions

In September 2014, the three organisations agreed upon basic key parameters of the technical regulations and now, they passed the engine regulations. In addition, they succeeded in defining the aerodynamics specs, with the details now having to be tested and developed to find out if they can be technically realised. The ‘Class One’ cars will resemble today’s DTM and GTA vehicles in the areas body and aerodynamics a lot. The touring cars will be powered by new turbo charged four-cylinder engines producing about 600bhp.

Hans Werner Aufrecht, Chairman of ITR rights holder and promoter ITR e.V., was happy with what was achieved in the meeting: “We struck agreements in many areas,” he said, “And made a major step to realising our joint goal. I’m looking forward to the day when the ‘Class One’ vehicles from different continents will compete with one another for the first time.”

Masaaki Bandoh, Chairman of GTA rights holder and promotor of SUPER GT was also happy to reach the agreements regarding basic features of Class One regulations. “I believe that the agreement will mutually further the development of us, SUPER GT, DTM and IMSA on and from 2017. Since we started to advance concrete discussions on Final Race Event, I am very excited that we are moving a step closer to one of our major reasons to establish the cooperative relations with DTM and IMSA.”

To offer the different series the opportunity to compete with one another, the cars of the Japanese and German manufacturers will battle it out with one another in the framework of joint motor-racing events. The premiere is supposed to take place at the end of the 2017 season in Japan and at the beginning of the 2018 season, the revenge will be contested in Germany. The six manufacturers involved have agreed upon letting the organisations prepare a suitable concept. Currently, DTM is contested by Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz while Honda, Nissan and Lexus are battling it out with one another in Japan. As soon as the series has been started in the USA, the American manufacturers also will be involved.
