DTM changes Lausitzring schedule to avoid ice hockey clash

The opening race at the northeast German venue on May 25 falls on the same day as the two semi-finals of the Ice Hockey World Championship, which are also broadcast by DTM's German broadcast partner ProSieben.

It has therefore been decided to deviate from the standard DTM start time of 1:30 PM, with the start of the race being postponed until 5:00 PM.

This means that the first Lausitzring race can now be shown in full in the DTM's home market of Germany, culminating in the two semi-final ice hockey matches taking place just across the border in the Czech Republic.

“We were looking for a solution because there is a clash with the Ice Hockey World Championship at the Lausitzring on Saturday,” explains Alexander Wolffing, head of service at ProSieben's online service Ran.

“That could easily have clashed with the DTM race if we had kept the classic times. That is why we will start the DTM race on Saturday at 5 p.m., immediately after the [first] ice hockey semi-final.

“We obviously hope that the German team will be in the semi-finals, just like last year, and that we can give the DTM a boost with the associated reporting.

We will broadcast the qualification live on ProSieben in the usual slot [of the DTM race] at 1:30 p.m.”

The second race of the weekend will take place as planned on Sunday, May 26 at 1:30 PM, following qualifying earlier in the morning.

However, this could pose a major challenge for the teams as the window between the first race on Saturday evening and qualifying on Sunday morning will be shortened by several hours.

This means that in the event of a mechanical problem or a crash during the opening race, mechanics may have to work through the night to get their car ready for the second stage of the weekend.

That is why the teams are lobbying the ADAC, the championship promoter, to make further changes to the schedule.

We have announced this [the Lausitzring schedule] during the team manager meeting and everyone can live with it, said ADAC Motorsport boss Thomas Voss.

However, they asked to postpone qualifying on Sunday a bit.

“We are working on that at the moment, but I can imagine that qualifying will not be until around ten o'clock, so that the teams can work on the cars a little longer when they leave the parc ferme relatively late on Saturday. “
