The 2020 season of the DTM continues at the Nurbugring Grand Prix circuit, only this time in the Sprint variant of the track and despite the different layout used in the same venue that was used in the last race, the drivers' battle for the title continues with dramatic results in hand.

Like the previous Nurburgring race, a limited number of fans were welcomed to witness the second Nurburgring event while adhering to "new normal" rules. This means that it's the only racing event in Europe to have fans in what was known to be the loudest race weekend of the year, which was dominated by the audience-less Le Mans endurance race.
Shockingly, long before the race, the man in charge of the DTM announced that it will be reshuffled into an independent professional GT-based race series as both Audi and BMW are set to bow out of the DTM after this season. Which means, the new DTM will no longer have factory-backed teams but instead the private teams will take on the roles.
Now onto the race; the first race saw two Audis delivered a 1-2 punch at the finish line with Robin Frijns emerged as the winner and Rene Rast finished second, while Marco Wittmann completes the podium with a third place finish. In the last race, a full Audi podium sweep is witnessed with Nico Muller wins, Frijns in 2nd and Rast in third.
