ABT Sportsline brings super talent Ricardo Feller to the DTM
ABT Sportsline has signed another top driver for the DTM: #ricardofeller (21/CH) will become the teammate of René Rast (35/D) and Kelvin van der Linde (25/ZA) in the 2022 season.
Feller is considered a super talent and a diamond in the rough. In the 2017 season, the Swiss driver, who was just 16 years old at the time, became the youngest driver ever to make the leap into the ADAC GT Masters – a racing series that #ricardofeller won last season together with Christopher Mies at the wheel of an Audi R8 LMS in a nail-biting finale.
“My dream from the beginning was to race in the DTM,” says the new ABT driver. “I have tried to realize the dream and made that intention clear. It’s cool that this dream is becoming a reality at ABT Sportsline. I am aware that 2022 will be a challenge. Regardless of my teammates, the competition in the DTM will probably be even stronger than last year. I want to compete with the best – and they are currently racing in the DTM. I think it’s nice to be able to make the step into the DTM after winning the GT Masters.”
Just like René Rast and Kelvin van der Linde, #ricardofeller will be driving an ABT Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II. The entry has been made possible primarily by the Scherer Group and HYLO – the number one in Germany when it comes to dry eyes.
“It’s mega that we can again enter three cars in the DTM this year,” says ABT CEO and team director Thomas Biermaier. “With René, Kelvin and Ricardo, we have three drivers who can all fight for the title. Despite his young age, Ricardo already has several years of experience with the Audi R8 LMS and is one of the fastest drivers in this car. And I think his personality also fits in very well with us.”
“The crew of our third car has had a pretty frustrating 2021 DTM season,” says Hans-Jürgen Abt. “Now their eyes are shining again. I am sure that Ricardo has the necessary talent to establish himself in the DTM and can become a big player. All of us at ABT are looking forward to racing with him.”
The deal was set up by Christian Scherer, who, with his Scherer Group, is one of ABT Sportsline’s most important business partners. “Ricardo’s family has a car dealership in Switzerland,” says CEO Christian Scherer. “That’s how we met at the end of 2019. Since then, I have tried to support Ricardo as much as possible. I am very happy that we could attract him as an ambassador and driver for Scherer Sport.”
Ricardo Feller will make his DTM debut in Portimão (Portugal) at the end of April. A total of eight events with two races each are scheduled in the 2022 DTM.
