Shortly after the season finale in Ampfing, the German Kart Championship already presented its racing calendar for 2020. The highest German kart racing series stays true to its strong program of the past years.

The half-time event is going to take place from July 17th – 19th on the traditional Erftlandring in Kerpen. After a six-week summer break, a premiere awaits the participants from August 28th – 30th: For the first time, the DKM is going to take place on the new race track in Mülsen (Saxony). The Arena E is 1.350m long and complies with the highest international standards. The big season finale is then going to take place at the beginning of October (2nd – 4th) in Belgian Genk. The race track close to the German-Dutch border is the only foreign track for the DMSB grade series in 2020.
The DKM upholds continuity regarding the regulations: All classes are going to start with Vega tires again. Additionally, the DKM provides an extensive race-control with top modern 4K camera technique and 16 hours of live images of every racing weekend as well as an extensive fostering program again.
