Why DTM Failed

The Down Under Motorsport Podcast reviews the series of events that led to the dramatic DTM Finale. Host's Oliver and Sophie catch up to run through the big talking points and share exactly how the DTM series finished the way it did. Sophie continues to explore the world of motorsport and slowly falls in love with what it has to offer. We run through the major rounds in the championship, including Monza, Lausitzring, Nürburgring and the Norisring to outline the deciding moments in the season. We discuss how the impact of the final round on the series will affect the future success of the sport through marketing difficulties and fans turning away. From the season opener to the season decider, the duo unpacks everything, including Liam Lawson and Kelvin Van Der Linde's season long clashes, battles and victories, the unexpected events, manufacture favourites and defining moments in the championship battle. Oliver and Sophie discuss the latest news, including Thomas Maxwell in his Spitwater Nissan Ultima and his charge to pole position at Sanddown, something only 4 people have ever achieved. 'Something we have been working at [for] the last few rounds" details Tom as we find out what it meant to both him and everyone that worked towards his career best result. Both Sophie and Oliver delve into the downside of motorsport… the cost… and how by lowering vehicle expenses many young talents would be able to show case their abilities.
