The 2013 DTM Season was the fourteenth edition of the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters Championship since the series returned in 2000. With the season beginning an ending at the Championship's traditional home of Hockenheim (hosting races on the 5th of May and the 20th of October), the 2013 Championship was also the first that would see BMW as defending Champions since the 1990s.
As ever, the DTM's international appeal meant the series once again saw races outside of Germany, with visits to the United Kingdom, Austria, the Netherlands and, for the first time, Moscow in Russia.[1] Another addition to the Championship was the inclusion of the Drag Reduction System, brought across for Formula One, while the minimum weight of the cars was increased to counter recent aerodynamic developments.
There were also high profile changes on the driver front, headlined by the move of Jamie Green from Mercedes to bitter rivals Audi, having driven for the Stuttgarters for eight seasons.[2] Elsewhere, David Coulthard vacated his Mercedes seat to continue his commentating career, while German veteran Ralf Schumacher called time on his racing career.[3]
Rahel Frey and Susie Wolff also called time on their DTM careers at the end of 2012, opening the door for fresh blood. From the Formula 3 Euro Series, Mercedes drafted in Pascal Wehrlein and Daniel Juncadella, both having tested for them the season before.[3][4] BMW also gave two new faces a chance in the Championship, handing ex-F1 driver Timo Glock a drive, while also rewarding test driver Marco Wittmann a race seat in their expanded programme.
But, the new blood could do little to affect the 2013 Championship, as Mike Rockenfeller swept to his first DTM title with two wins and three further podiums. His tally of 142 beat that of Brazilian Augusto Farfus by 26, despite the fact that Farfus had won more races. Defending Champion Bruno Spengler picked up one win on his way to third, as Robert Wickens missed out on a first career win at the Norisring after the DMSB opted not to promote the rest of the field after Mattias Ekström's disqualification.
In the other Championships, BMW successfully fended off Audi to retain the Brands' Championship, while Rockenfeller's Team Phoenix snatched the Teams' Championship. Overall, however, 2013 proved to be another exciting chapter in the history of the DTM, with six different race winners, impressive performances, and the emergence of several new talents.
Background
Calendar
For 2013, the DMSB and ITR e.V. agreed to a slight change after a historic agreement to use the new Moscow Raceway, following the recent decision by the World Touring Car Championship to race in Russia.[1] The round in Spain was dropped as a result, while the non-Championship demonstration at the Munich Olympic Stadium was removed due to time restraints.[1] Otherwise, eight of the circuits used in 2012 remained, with the ever popular Norisring marking the halfway point in the Championship.

Regulations
2013 was the second season of the return of BMW, although there were few changes to the rules that affected the teams. All three agreed to an increase in the minimum race weight, while the FIA allowed the implementation of DRS for the series, although the rules surronding its use would be modified. Rumours of a technical collaboration with the Japanese Super GT series also emerged during the season, although they had little impact on the DTM in 2013.
Technical
Sporting
There were no new rules or developments in terms of driving standards or points scoring, as the series retained the standard FIA scoring system once again. That said, with Mercedes dropping to a six car compliment in 2013, the scoring rules for the Brands' Championship meant that only the six best cars from Audi and BMW at each race counted to their scores.

| 25 | 18 | 15 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
As ever, pole position and fastest lap setters were not awarded points in 2013, despite some calls for them to be implemented. Another continued policy was that of using all of the season's results for a Driver's final score, with the same rule applied to the Teams' Championship.
Season Report
Ahead of the new season, excitment was building with the old rules mixing with both fresh blood and a new venue in Moscow. Many were also looking to see if 2013 would see BMW build on their 2012 success and take a second clean sweep, or if Audi or Mercedes could defeat them. Time would tell, with a 22 car field, four rookies, four Champions and ten races expected to provide another season of thrilling action.

Coverage
Final Standings
The 2013 DTM Season was to be fought on three fronts. Glory was to be found in the hunt to be DTM Champion for the drivers, which had propelled the careers of several drivers to new heights in recent years. Also up for grabs was the prize money in the Teams' Championship, while the honour of three manufacturers was on the line in the Brands' Championship, as Mercedes, BMW and Audi did battle once again.
DTM Championship
In his seventh season in the DTM, Mike Rockenfeller claimed his first DTM Crown, having been Audi's main man for the previous two seasons. Two wins and a series of podiums meant he took the crown with a race to spare at Zandvoort, with Augusto Farfus ending the year 26 points behind with three victories. Defending Champion Bruno Spengler secured third, while Christian Vietoris ended the season as the best Mercedes driver of the year in fourth.
