Klasifikasi
Klasifikasi DTM terdiri atas tiga bagian, antara lain "DTM Champion" yaitu titel yang diberikan pada setiap pembalap yang meraih hasil akhir poin tertinggi klasemen di akhir musim, "DTM Team Champion" yaitu titel yang diberikan pada setiap tim yang meraih hasil akhir tertinggi klasemen di akhir musim dan "DTM Manufacturer Champion" yaitu titel yang diberikan pada setiap manufaktur yang meraih hasil poin tertinggi klasemen di akhir musim

Mandatory pit stops
Tiap seri DTM wajib mendapat perintah untuk masuk pit setidaknya dua kali pitstop dan pengisian bahan bakar dilarang selama pitstop berlangsung

Sistem poin
Sistem poin DTM mengacu pada sistem poin Formula 1 yaitu 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 dimana pembalap yang finis di posisi 10 besar yang berhak mendapatkannya. Tidak ada tambahan poin untuk pembalap yang mendapat start pole position dan pencetak fastest lap.

Format kualifikasi
DTM menerapkan format multistage mode dimana pembalap bersaing dalam empat sesi. Pada sesi pertama (Q1), semua pembalap wajib mengikuti kualifikasi selama 16 menit untuk diambil 16 pembalap tercepat yang akan maju ke sesi kedua. Pada sesi kedua (Q2), pembalap diberi jatah selama 11 menit untuk memperebutkan posisi 10 besar untuk maju ke sesi ketiga. Pada sesi ketiga (Q3), kesepuluh pembalap kembali mencatatkan waktunya untuk memperebutkan slot empat besar di sesi keempat dengan durasi sama seperti sesi ketiga yaitu 11 menit. Pada sesi keempat atau "fastest four", keempat pembalap saling bersaing untuk memperebutkan posisi terdepan atau pole position.

Speed Limit
Batas maksimal kecepatan saat mobil memasuki pit adalah 80 km/jam terkecuali seri Norisring, Zandvoort dan Brands Hatch mobil hanya dibatasi sampai 60 km/jam saat melintasi garis pit.
