Dylan Medler eyes possible 2027 DTM entry
American GT racer Dylan Medler is preparing for a possible 2027 entry into DTM, Germany’s top touring car series. The move would place the 2025 Ferrari Challenge champion alongside some of the sport’s biggest names in one of Europe’s most competitive sprint-race championships.
Why it matters: - DTM is one of the most prestigious touring car championships in the world. - A possible entry would put Dylan Medler against former Formula 1 drivers, multiple world champions and top GT talent. - The series uses sprint races with no driver changes, which raises the emphasis on pure driver performance.
What happened: - Dylan Medler is preparing for a possible 2027 DTM entry. - The announcement was dated July 16, 2026, and issued from Miami. - Medler is the 2025 Ferrari Challenge Champion. - Medler moved to the top level of professional GT racing in 2026. - Medler is currently competing full time in the Italian GT Endurance Championship and the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Championship.
The details: - Medler won the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa Silver Cup after a victory at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. - Medler and co-driver Alessandro Balzan won the Italian GT Endurance Championship season opener at Misano in the PRO Class. - Balzan is described as Medler’s friend and coach. - DTM, or Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, has been running for more than 40 years. - DTM is described as Germany’s premier touring car championship and one of the world’s most prestigious touring car series. - The field includes factory-supported teams and GT3-spec cars from BMW, Mercedes AMG, Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Ford, McLaren and Aston Martin. - DTM races feature no driver changes, unlike endurance formats.
Between the lines: - Medler’s current race program suggests a stepped progression from endurance racing into a higher-profile sprint championship. - A DTM move would test how his GT endurance results translate to a format that rewards one-driver pace and race craft over short stints. - The combination of a young American driver and a Europe-centered series could give Medler a broader international profile if the entry materializes.
What's next: - Medler is expected to continue his 2026 campaigns in Italian GT Endurance and GT World Challenge Europe Endurance. - The possible DTM entry remains tied to 2027. - More information is available via Dylan Medler's Instagram.
