DS" should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
According to Speedweek, Aston Martin was going to announce an entry for the 2020 season. But they wanted guarantees from BMW and Audi, that they both will continue to compete in DTM, something which Audi alledgedly didn't want to give, due to recent developments in the diesel scandal. Now, the announcement is expected for the weekend at Zandvoort.


According the Auto, Motor und Sport, Red Bull may enter as the main sponsor for Aston Martin in 2020. It makes sense, given their cooperation in the Valkyre project. Also, Gerhard Berger und Didi Matteschitz know each other, so maybe Gerhard could convince the latter to invest in DTM once again.


Given Aston's cooperation with Mercedes, I think they may even inherit some of their remaining DTM parts and perhaps even drivers.
