DTM Appeal Hearing Scheduled Following Bortolotti's Disqualification

The appeal hearing for Mirko Bortolotti, following his disqualification from the DTM race at Oschersleben, is scheduled for September 25. This hearing will take place two weeks before the DTM season finale and will be conducted by the appeals court of the German governing body DMSB.

Bortolotti's team submitted their written appeal after an extended deadline due to the holiday period. The driver expressed confidence in his team's actions, asserting that they did not violate any regulations. He learned of his disqualification due to a wheel bearing issue shortly before the DTM weekend at the Nurburgring.

The outcome of the hearing will affect the championship standings, as the results from the Oschersleben race remain provisional until the appeal is resolved. If the appeal is successful, it could alter the points for current leaders in the DTM standings.
