Driver and team changes

• Aston Martin returned to DTM for the first time since 2019, as Belgian team Comtoyou Racing made its debut with a pair of Belgian rookies: former Audi factory driver Gilles Magnus and Nicolas Baert, the son of team owner Jean-Michel Baert.^[1]
• Schubert Motorsport scaled back to two entries, as 2022 champion Sheldon van der Linde left the series to focus on his LMDh duties.^[4]
• Emil Frey Racing expanded its entry to three cars, promoting Ben Green from its GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup set-up.^[5]
• Ford will make its DTM debut via a new partnership with former Mercedes-AMG customer Haupt Racing Team.^[6] HRT stalwart Arjun Maini was joined by returnee Fabio Scherer, who had previously entered the final Class 1 season in 2020 for WRT.^[7]
• Abt Sportsline switched to Lamborghini after 25 years with Audi. Kelvin van der Linde and Ricardo Feller both left the team as they changed manufacturers to BMW and Porsche respectively.^[8] Reigning champion Mirko Bortolotti and Nicki Thiim moved over from SSR Performance, which left the series, to form Abt's lineup.^[9]
• GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup runner-up Jordan Pepper joined TGI Team Lamborghini by GRT after a one-off appearance with the team in 2024.^[10]
• Timo Glock returned to the championship after two years away, joining Dörr Motorsport in place of Clemens Schmid, who will compete in the FIA WEC with Akkodis ASP.^[12]

• Winward Racing hired Jules Gounon for a full season after a one-off for HRT at the 2024 season finale.^[13]
• Manthey Racing expanded their presence with a third car under Manthey Junior Team, signing Le Mans class winner Morris Schuring.^[14]
• Allied Racing was scheduled to make its DTM debut fielding two Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) cars for Ricardo Feller and Bastian Buus.^[15] However, the plans fell through as the team filed for insolvency in March.^[16] In the aftermath, Land-Motorsport set up a last-minute programme for Feller, ensuring a continued presence for Audi in DTM and a record nine brands on the grid.^[2]

Rule changes

• A new 'DTM Pro Climate' synthetic fuel developed by Coryton was introduced to the championship, along with new Pirelli P Zero DHG slick tyres.^[17]
• The race length was shortened from 1 hour plus one lap to 55 minutes plus one lap. In the event of a safety car, a maximum two extra laps may be added.^[18]
• The Sunday race changed in format, now mandating two pit stops instead of one. The first is to be served between minutes 10 and 25 of the race, with the second pit window spanning from minutes 39 to 45.^[18]
• A new rookie of the year classification was created. Any Gold- or Silver-rated driver in their first season of DTM is eligible for the award. Second-year drivers may also be admitted at the discretion of the committee. Dörr Motorsport's Ben Dörr was granted this exception.^[19]
