2019 Nürburgring DTM round
# 2019 Nürburgring DTM round

The 2019 DTM Nürburg round was a motor racing event for the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters held between 14 and 15 September 2019. The event, part of the 33rd season of the DTM, was held at the Nürburgring in Germany.

René Rast secured his second drivers' championship following his third-place finish in the second race, with his closest rival Nico Müller exactly an event's worth of points behind. Given that Rast had an insurmountable number of wins, even if Müller had managed to close the gap he would still have lost the title on a count-back.
