Team changes
  • GT World Challenge Europe regulars Attempto Racing will join the DTM full-time, running a single Audi R8 LMS Evo II car.[6]
  • Rowe Racing, which ran two BMW M6 GT3 cars full-time in 2021, will leave the DTM in order to concentrate on endurance racing.[28]
  • Schubert Motorsport will join the series full-time by fielding two BMW M4 GT3 cars. Walkenhorst Motorsport will also race with two BMW M4 GT3 cars full-time in 2022, after doing so with a single BMW M6 GT3 car in 2021.[8]
  • GRT Grasser Racing Team will join the series full-time by fielding a total of four Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo cars.[13] The Austrian team will be factory-backed by Lamborghini.[29]
  • T3 Motorsport will not be factory-backed by Lamborghini, after racing two Huracán GT3 Evo cars full-time in 2021.[30] The team decided to continue to field the same type of car as a privateer in 2022 and confirmed the retainment of their 2021 driver Esmee Hawkey and the signing of Nicki Thiim.[31][32][18]
  • JP Motorsport will not return to the series in 2022, after making guest appearances at three rounds in 2021 by fielding a single McLaren 720S GT3 car.[33]
  • Mercedes-AMG Team GetSpeed is set to leave the series after running a single-car effort for Arjun Maini in 2021.[34]

Driver changes

Rule changes

Sporting
  • One championship point will be awarded for the fastest race lap.[35]
  • Team orders were completely outlawed in the wake of the 2021 season finale controversy at the Norisring.[36] Teams and drivers who influence the race via team orders might be excluded from the championship.[37]
  • Introduction of "full-course yellow" (FCY) to replace safety car interventions when appropriate. Restarts will be done in "DTM formation" akin to the series' race and safety car restarts.[38]
  • The mandatory pit stop can now be made while the safety car is deployed.[35]
  • The race start procedure has been revised: the race goes underway with a starting light at the hands of the race director. Previously, the pole-sitter could decide when to go full-throttle. The starting formation can now be left as soon as the starting light releases the field.[39][37]
  • Pit stop procedures have been modified: a maximum of two mechanics on each side of the car have to change the rear wheels first before the change at the front axle can begin. Mandatory pit stops can not be served prior to minute 10 or after minute 40 of the race.[37]
