Russia will host a round of the DTM touring car series on the streets of its capital later this year.

The Moscow race will take place on June 26 on a brand new temporary street circuit close to the State University.

The series will also bring dreams of a street race in Avignon, France, to life with the news that it has been awarded a September 18 round. Plans for the street race were heavily backed by DTM star Jean Alesi.

No further details of either circuit have yet been released. e-Tracks will bring you full track maps as soon as we have them.
