Our experts' guide on how you can become a better racing driver
One of the biggest challenges of being a DTM driver is to consistently deliver a good lap in qualifying. The margins are closer than any other series and since 2015 we've had 18 races per year, so qualifying is key to giving yourself a chance of winning the championship.
Qualifying can be one of the most rewarding parts of the weekend if you nail the lap when everything is spot-on. It's the one opportunity when everybody has the same chance, so as long as you don't get traffic, it's a good comparison of raw pace. There are no excuses, either you deliver or you don't.
