Discounted advance tickets have gone on sale for DTM German Touring Cars, which returns to Brands Hatch on 10-11 August 2019 with a new support line-up and heaps of paddock entertainment for fans.

DTM, the world's fastest and most technologically-advanced tin-top series, raced for the first time on the full Grand Prix circuit in August this year after a five-year absence from the Kent venue. 2019 sees the addition of the new women-only W Series, Lotus Cup Europe and a new Formula 3-based series to the support bill.

The free-to-enter W Series is a new Europe-wide initiative backed by Red Bull Racing's Adrian Newey and former F1 driver David Coulthard, with a $1.5m prize pot that aims to create a pathway for women into F1.

Meanwhile DTM has announced that British premium car brand Aston Martin will soon join the championship, lining up alongside BMW and Audi on the grid and adding an international flavour to the series. If the cars, based on the Aston Martin Vantage, are developed in time, they could contest their first races as early as 2019…

And it's not only the teams that are changing for 2019. New DTM regulations will see a switch from V8 to two-litre turbocharged engines, the first major change in engine philosophy since 2000.

This year's DTM clash at Brands Hatch saw ex-F1 driver Paul di Resta claim an emphatic race two victory over Mercedes-AMG teammate Gary Paffett, the eventual 2018 DTM champion. Daniel Juncadella took his maiden win in the category in the opening race.

Discounted advance adult weekend tickets for DTM's 2019 visit to Brands Hatch start from just £25, with one DTM race on each day plus the full support programme - and children under 13 are free! DTM's paddock entertainment brings fans super-close to all the action, with driver autograph sessions, live music and a dedicated fan village.

Grandstand seats will be sold in tiers, with prices scaled according to the best views. Prices start at £10 - click here for more details.
