Thought I'd chuck these up here, as I'm sure there must be some DTM fans on here.

The DTM championship visited the UK a couple of weekends back and, having missed it for the last few years, I managed to pop down to Brands Hatch for it this time round.

Took a few pictures on the day, my faves can be seen below…









Unlike the BTCC and other Touring Car championships, these are nothing like their road going equivalents. All cars are space framed, V8 powered, rear wheel drive and putting out nearly 500 BHP…





…and all sporting some very serious aero.







Check out the driver: he’s almost sitting in the back seat!





Bling Merc!





Just before the main DTM race kicked off a few German classics took to the track for demonstration runs…





…as did Jenson Button who did a couple of (very sedate) laps.













Brit driver Gary Paffett celebrates finishing in third…



…his joy was short lived as he received a penalty and was dropped to sixth.



And a few pictures from the supporting races; the day kicked off with some Formula 3…



…and the DTM was followed by some Formula 4 racing (which was pretty good)…







…and the Lotus Elise cup (which was a lot duller than I was expecting).





And that’s the lot!
