2021 was a year of monumental change for the DTM. Gone were the manufacturers that were integral to the running of the series itself - and with them the much-loved, purpose-built Class One cars that rivalled prototype racers in terms of performance. Customer teams were now supposed to be the stars of the show, with off-the-shelf GT3 cars another new feature thanks to their wide availability and cost effectiveness. Coming into the season, many fans were pessimistic about the direction the ITR had taken this year - even if it wasn’t by choice - but the DTM's brand name managed to pull in a strong cast of drivers and teams to keep the interest high in the series. The racing was generally exciting and a thrilling, multi-driver battle gave fans reasons to tune in round after round. It’s a shame the season ended the way it did, because Gerhard Berger and co had put together a strong - if slightly flawed - product that could distinguish itself in a crowded marketplace. Make no …

VW Arteon R Drag Races Kia Stinger In Germany Vs Korea Battle
Despite being largely based on the Volkswagen Passat, the Arteon is sold in Europe as an executive car, which is a segment above the mid-size D-segment cars. Kia’s Stinger is just about 35 millimeters shorter than the Arteon, though it is positioned in the D segment. While the Volkswagen is categorized as a more luxurious model, it lacks six-cylinder engines even in its range-topping form. The Arteon R has a 2.0-liter turbocharged gas engine good for 320 horsepower (235 kilowatts) and 310 pound-feet (420 Newton-meters) of torque. The power is channeled to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox with a launch control function.
