DTM: Series releases 2017 calendar

The DTM has released a mostly unchanged schedule for 2017, with all of this year's venues returning for nine double-header weekends.

The closest thing to a surprise is the continuation of the Moscow race, the future of which had been the subject of some doubt.

Hockenheim will open the season on May 5-7 followed by Lausitzring a fortnight later, while the Hungaroring moves forward from September to June to host the third event.

Elsewhere, the iconic Norisring event will be held on the first weekend in July, with Hockenheim to host the season finale in October.
