Guven Clinches 2025 DTM Title With Last-Lap Hockenheim Win

Stewards’ penalties for yellow-flag passes with black-flag enforcement reshaped the finale’s order, elevating Lucas Auer to runner-up after a relentlessly consistent season.

Overview

  • Ayhancan Guven passed Marco Wittmann on the final lap after a late safety-car restart to win Race 2 and secure the drivers’ championship by 0.169 seconds.
  • Jack Aitken and Jordan Pepper were given three penalty laps for overtaking under yellow and were shown the black flag for not serving them, a ruling that altered the classification.
  • Lucas Auer was classified fourth in the finale and finished second in the standings, having scored points in every race this season.
  • Thomas Preining dominated a rain-delayed Race 1 to cut the deficit to Auer, while Manthey EMA sealed the teams’ title on Saturday.
  • Marco Wittmann charged from 17th to second with Maro Engel third, and rookie Morris Schuring claimed both his first DTM podium in Race 1 and the rookie title.
