BMW, which will make its return to the DTM championship following the introduction of the new technical regulations in 2012, has already unveiled its M3 DTM car during the non-championship race presented in the Olympic Stadium in Munich in July.

Few days later, Audi published some pictures of its new A5 Coupe, that will replace the A4 next season.

Mercedes will run a C-Class Coupe, which will be unveiled for the first time during those tests at Lausitz.

Hankook will continue its development program with the 2012 tires, as some testing with the new tires has already been done this season.
