The 2008 DTM Season Preview
The 2008 season is a critical one for the DTM, but according to Glenn Freeman, it should be a stellar one out on the track
The DTM is on the verge of a make or break season in 2008. The departure of Mika Hakkinen from the Mercedes line-up leaves the series without a 'star name' fighting for the title, while new rules for 2009 have still not taken shape.
But it's not all doom and gloom for the German-based championship. Those in charge have successfully weathered the storm that was Audi's withdrawal from the Barcelona race last September, meaning that two manufacturers will continue to do battle for another season.
