DTM: Electrifying action
DTM FRAMEWORK PROGRAM The all-electric NXT Gen Cup is realigning its racing calendar and relying on the ADAC platform. This season, fans can look forward to the one-make cup four times as part of the DTM supporting program.
The NXT Gen Cup is an innovative racing series with a focus on young motorsport talent. An LRT NXT1, which is based on the road-legal Mini Cooper SE, serves as the race car. With the up to 170 kW (230 hp) electric racer, the juniors already impressed with thrilling one-make cup fights at the ADAC events at the Nürburgring and in the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben in the premiere year 2023.
Strict program
In the 2024 season, the youngsters of the NXT Gen Cup will contest twelve races on German soil over four weekends. The season opener with the first double-header is already a highlight. The Norisring, the street circuit in Nuremberg, will be the venue from July 5 to 7. This is followed by the second event at the Nürburgring from August 16 to 18, and the second double-header awaits the drivers at the Sachsenring from September 6 to 8. At the finale at the Hockenheimring from October 18 to 20, two races will decide which young driver will lift the championship trophy.
Partner ADAC and DTM
Series founder Frederik Lestrup is grateful for the cooperation: "We are thrilled to be deepening our collaboration with the ADAC and the DTM. Last year, we took our first international steps together, and the 2024 calendar closes the circle." However, the BMW M2 Cup will not take place this season and is therefore not part of the DTM supporting program. A comeback of the series is planned for 2025.
