Released Mercedes-AMG Motorsport eRacing Competition 2018

30 years of DTM – a special anniversary for Mercedes-AMG Motorsport. 30 years of fascinating cars, legendary drivers, epic battles and lots of victories and titles. Now it’s time to relive these years, drive the cars from the past and also form a new generation of legends in the 2018 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport eRacing Competition.



It was the AMG Mercedes 190 E2.5 16 Evolution II which gave Mercedes-AMG the first title in the DTM in 1992, with “Mister DTM” Klaus Ludwig behind the wheel. In a time before anti-lock brakes, Ludwig clinched the championship with his race intelligence and experience ahead of his two Mercedes teammates Kurt Thiim and Bernd Schneider, against the strong opposition of BMW and Audi.



The next car was the AMG-Mercedes C-Klasse DTM, a car that was truly ahead of its time, using more advanced technology than it was common in Formula One at the time. There were strong opponents with the four-wheel-driven Alfa Romeos and Opels, but the rear-wheel-driven C-Klasse was more than a match for it. Ludwig secured another title in 1994, before the time of Bernd Schneider began, who claimed both the DTM and ITC drivers championship in 1995 in his silver car with the neon yellow mirrors.



The ITC was short-lived, but the DTM returned in 2000 and of course, Mercedes-AMG Motorsport was present with the AMG-Mercedes CLK DTM. Bernd Schneider was in the form of his life, winning three championships in 2000, 2001 and 2003, and even though the ruleset restricted the cars more than in past years, the battles were even more spectacular, especially between AMG and the yellow ABT Audis.



In 2004, the DTM returned to its roots with 4-door limousines, and Mercedes-AMG Motorsport prepared the next generation of the AMG-Mercedes C-Klasse DTM. Bernd Schneider scored his last title in 2006, but the next generation was already in the starting blocks, with British drivers Gary Paffett and Paul di Resta winning the championship in 2005 and 2010 respectively.



In 2012, we truly arrived in the modern era of DTM. With the Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM, AMG prepared a strong challenger against the Audis and BMWs. In 2015, youngster Pascal Wehrlein, who was born in 1994, two years after Mercedes-AMG’s first DTM title, won the championship.



All these cars will be a part of the 2018 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport eRacing Competition. In nine leaderboard challenges, you can try out the cars for free and set the fastest time you can. Each time, the best 18 drivers will qualify for online multiplayer races which are held on the DTM sundays, live streamed on the Facebook and YouTube page of Mercedes-Benz and also in the Mercedes-AMG Motorsport hospitality, where the DTM legends will watch the race. The best five drivers of the multiplayer championship will be invited to the DTM final at Hockenheim, all expenses paid. There they can compete against the whole Mercedes-AMG Motorsport DTM line-up and fight for glory and prizes: AMG Driving Experiences with professional coaching for the top three. You can see the highlights of last year’s competition below:

And even if you are not into competitions, we have good news: All cars will be available in the RaceRoom Store at a later stage.

 

Incredible news, I'm looking forward to it!!!

 

Like it, but didn't love it I really whish, that you don't only sell the Mercedes Cars but the whole series, where they where driven.
Don't get me wrong, if you do this, I will not like it only, but I would really LOVE it!

 

"All cars will be available in the RaceRoom Store at a later stage."
I really like this part, glad to see we can have these cars in game and not only in this competition.

 

Will the Mercedes DTM 1992 have new physics?

 

But hopefully also with their respective counterparts from the other makes. It would be a shame if the DTM cars from 1995, 2003 and 2005 would have to race in a "Mercedes Cup" only.

 

Fantastic news!

 

Does this mean the other DTM 1992 cars will be updated aswell?

 

I suppose the update corresponds to the patch of yesterday 19.

Oh my God I Marry You RaceRoom thx for these cool cars cant wait

 

Lovely this...<3
Thx sector3,I am full of gratitude.

 

So are all the 92 cars finally updated? Otherwise it'll only mess up the balance.

 

Do not trust the fluffy bear(r) !!

 

So ... have the physics of the DTM 92 cars been updated?

 

I would say no, they still have that wayward steering and no road surface feedback..

 

Sorry. I made a mistake. I played a lot in the AС. Lost the feelings of RR
.

 

Nice competition again, really.
But with all due respect.
I hope you can implement this competition in SRS, or something in that spirit.
Since I can already tell you that I will not come to the first 18, let alone the first 180.
But I still hope that Raceroom will come up with a competition system in which the slower riders can also enjoy ourselves.
Even if it is not to win prizes.

 

at 10 seconds into the video.... do we get sparks????

 

... great news! 3x new DTM seasons are on the way! Now the following car is a must-have addition:






pls, pls, pls ...

 

Connecting the dots here...

We are getting all of these cars now for the Mercedes Event/Competition, but this also means that all of these cars will be available in the game to purchase afterwards. It stands to reason they will have competition to accompany their classes. If so, this is FANTASTIC news! DTM '92 cars are some of my favorites, the perfect balance of power and grip to have a lively drive.

I cannot wait for DTM '94!
