Provisional DTM calendar confirmed for next year.

The organisers of the DTM confirmed the provisional calendar for 2009 on Tuesday and like this year it will again feature eleven rounds in six European countries, including an event at Brands Hatch in the UK.

There are no significant changes with the only alteration being that the event at the Oschersleben moves from an April slot to July.

"The co-operation with all the circuits has been excellent, therefore, it goes without saying that we are going to return to the venues that have been staging DTM rounds in 2008," said Hans Werner Aufrecht, chairman of ITR - the DTM rights holder and distributor.
