===2007–2013===
The DTM carried on with only two manufacturers in spite of the television agreement requiring three manufacturers to participate in the series. The 2007–2009 seasons were marked by the dominance of Audi. Swede [[Mattias Ekström]] won the second of his two titles in 2007, and [[Timo Scheider]] took the driver's championship in the following two years. [[Mercedes-Benz]] were in the runner-up positions in both 2008 and 2009 ([[Paul di Resta]] in 2008 and [[Gary Paffett]] in 2009). In 2010, Mercedes finally bridged the gap to Audi, as di Resta won the 2010 championship driving for [[Mercedes-AMG|AMG-Mercedes]].

In 2011 and 2012, the DTM held a [[Race of Champions]]-style exhibition event in the [[Munich Olympic Stadium]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sport1.de/de/motorsport/mot_dtm/newspage_511971.html |title=DTM-Präsentation in Wiesbaden &#124; News &#124; Ergebnisse &#124; Live &#124; Bundesliga &#124; SPORT1 &#124; Video &#124; Motorsport |publisher=Sport1.de |date=27 January 2012 |access-date=30 January 2012 |archive-date=29 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029185829/http://www.sport1.de/de/motorsport/mot_dtm/newspage_511971.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
