DTM Hockenheim Tickets

The DTM weekend in Hockenheim offers much more than just on-track action. With your DTM Hockenheim Tickets, you can enjoy fan-focused experiences directly at the circuit and explore nearby cities, perfect for unwinding in the evening with a drink, a local dinner or even an extra day of sightseeing. This race weekend is easy to combine with memorable off-track moments.

Things to do at the circuit – more than just racing

The DTM Fan Zone is the central meeting point for fans throughout the weekend. Between sessions, it’s the perfect place to relax and soak up the atmosphere. Watch the action on the big screen, check out the latest DTM merchandise, or try interactive highlights like the DTM Reaction Wall and the Action Parcours. Families are well covered too, with activities for kids and entertainment that make the Fan Zone worth a visit at any time of day.

One of the absolute fan favourites is the Pit Walk, open to all DTM ticket holders on both Saturday and Sunday. This is your chance to step into the pit lane, see the cars up close and watch the teams at work just metres away. It’s a rare behind-the-scenes experience and completely free for fans.

Another highlight not to miss is Meet the Drivers in the Fan Zone. On both days, selected autograph sessions give fans the opportunity to meet drivers from DTM and supporting series in person. If you enjoy getting close to the sport and its personalities, this is one of the best moments of the weekend.
