Last year, Maini had secured his best result of his DTM career by finishing seventh in the drivers’ standings. In the previous three seasons (from 2021 to 2023), the 27-year-old from Bengaluru had finished 12th, 19th and 20th respectively).
The official test day for the new DTM season will take place at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben on Wednesday.

Maini has been competing successfully for HRT in various racing series since 2022 and achieved three podium finishes and one pole position in the DTM with the team last season.
The Indian has made a total of 64 appearances in the prestigious sprint series to date.
