    1992 DTM was governed by the FIA Group A rules and between 1993-1995 they had more freedom which was derived from the FIA Class 1 touring car rules.

    The official FIA technical regulations for 1992 Group A outline the fuel tank regulations. Currently in RaceRoom the maximum fuel tank size for these vehicles is 60 litres which is incorrect.

    Here is the technical regulations below. I have also seen various sources suggesting the BMW had a 110 litre fuel tank and the Audi V8 Quattro had a 120 litre tank fitted..

    Just a silly question: why would they need large fuel tanks for 100 km races?

    DTM2.5 cars also raced non championship at 24h Spa and Nurburgring at that time.

    I am not sure if they swapped out the tank for a bigger one or RRE is wrong. I seem to recall some DTM races lasting more than 40 minutes back then too.
