1990 Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft Explained

The 1990 Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft was the seventh season of premier German touring car championship and also fifth season under the moniker of Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft. The season had twelve rounds with two races each. It was the first season that all Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft cars mandatory used the naturally-aspirated engines as turbocharged engines had been banned at the end of 1989 for a few reasons; the governing body did not want a single car to dominate (as per other touring car championships around the world) and manufacturers would not be required to develop turbocharged engines to be competitive which would significantly increase costs due to the homologation requirements at the time.

The champion was Hans-Joachim Stuck.[1]
