Following the announcement that the DTM Esports Championship powered by MediaMarkt will be returning within RaceRoom in 2022, the first of two Shootout events will happen later today (6th January).

The qualification process began recently on the popular sim racing platform, and now the top drivers from the first of two Leaderboard Challenges shall take part in a race around the Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit. From the two Shootout events, 26 top drivers for the season ahead will be decided based on a points-earning system.

First race of the new DTM Esports season and it’s to determine who qualifies for the full championship!

Our reigning champion @MoritzLoehner, @MichaelRachl and @florianhasse_ will try their best to be amongst them.
