The 2014 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters was the twenty-eighth season of premier German touring car championship and also fifteenth season under the moniker of Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters since the series' resumption in 2000. The season started on 4 May at Hockenheim, and ended on 19 October at the same venue, after a total of ten rounds. In his second season in the series, BMW Team RMG driver Marco Wittmann became champion after his consistent finishes throughout the season left him with a comfortable 50-point winning margin. Wittmann took his first series victory in the opening race at Hockenheim, and quickly added a second victory at the Hungaroring. He also won back-to-back races at the Red Bull Ring and the Nürburgring, before clinching the title at Lausitzring. Mattias Ekström finished the season as runner-up for Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline, winning the season's final two races at Zandvoort and Hockenheim – Audi's only victories of the 2014 season. Another Audi driver clinched third in the championship, as defending champion Mike Rockenfeller finished in the position for Audi Sport Team Phoenix; he took three second places during the year, but went winless. Other drivers to take victories were Wittmann's team-mate Maxime Martin at Moscow Raceway, with HWA triumvirate Robert Wickens (Norisring), Christian Vietoris (Oschersleben) and Pascal Wehrlein (Lausitzring) taking victories for Mercedes; for Vietoris and Wehrlein, it was their first in the series. It was also the last season of the single-legged race format before it was replaced by the two-legged DTM race format for the following season (with both races held on Saturday and Sunday).

As a result, a replacement round was scheduled for the same weekend, held at Zandvoort in the Netherlands.http://www.dtm.com/en/News/DTM-selects-Zandvoort-as-replacement-venue-for-China.html DTM selects Zandvoort as replacement venue for China 24 July 2014 24 July 2014 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters ITR e.V. https://web.archive.org/web/20140729160436/http://www.dtm.com/en/News/DTM-selects-Zandvoort-as-replacement-venue-for-China.html 2014-07-29 dead Round Circuit Date Maps 1 DEU Hockenheimring, Baden-Württemberg 4 May none Germany 200 Germany 49.32 8.56 Hockenheim top Germany 51.53 13.91 Lausitz top Germany 49.43 11.12 Nuremberg bottom Germany 50.33 6.94 Nürburg top Germany 52.02 11.27 Oschersleben top none Netherlands 150 Netherlands 52.38 4.54 Zandvoort right none Austria 150 Austria 47.21 14.76 Spielberg top none Hungary 150 Hungary 47.58 19.25 Mogyoród left none European Russia 180 European Russia 55.99 36.26 Moscow right 2 DEU Motorsport Arena Oschersleben, Saxony-Anhalt 18 May 3 HUN Hungaroring, Mogyoród 1 June 4 DEU Norisring, Nuremberg 29 June 5 RUS Moscow Raceway, Volokolamsk 13 July 6 AUT Red Bull Ring, Spielberg 3 August 7 DEU Nürburgring, Rhineland-Palatinate 17 August 8 DEU Lausitzring, Brandenburg 14 September 9 NLD Circuit Park Zandvoort, North Holland 28 September 10 DEU Hockenheimring, Baden-Württemberg 19 October Teams and drivers The following manufacturers, teams and drivers competed in the 2014 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters.
