Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Affalterbach. Following last year’s win of the manufacturers’ championship as well as the drivers’ title by #maximiliangotz (GER), Mercedes-AMG is highly motivated for the start of the new DTM season. For a successful outcome in the prestigious sprint race series, the performance and sports car brand from Affalterbach can again rely on a high-quality line-up: like in the previous year, seven Mercedes-AMG GT3s will be competing for points and victories. Back behind the wheel are Mercedes-AMG Drivers #lucasauer (AUT), #maximilianbuhk, #maximiliangotz (both GER) and #arjunmaini (IND). New in this year’s DTM line-up are brand ambassador #maroengel (GER), Mikaël Grenier (CAN) and #lucastolz (GER). Four customer teams will be running the cars: GruppeM #racing, Haupt #racing Team and WINWARD #racing are participating with two Mercedes-AMG GT3s each while Mücke Motorsport will be running one car. The DTM race calendar includes 16 sprint races at eight different tracks in Germany, Italy, Belgium, Austria and Portugal, where the season opener will be held in Portimão at the weekend from 29th April until 1st May.
- Four teams with seven Mercedes-AMG GT3s in the 2022 DTM field
- GruppeM #racing, HRT, WINWARD with two cars each, a single GT3 by Mücke Motorsport
With twelve drivers’, 14 teams’ and eight manufacturers’ title wins, Mercedes-AMG is by far the most successful brand in the DTM’s all-time statistics. In 2018, the brand temporarily said its farewell to the series with a historic triple title win, but made a successful comeback with the manufacturers’ and drivers’ titles in 2021, the inaugural season of the new GT3 regulations. Anticipation, confidence and motivation going into the 2022 DTM season are accordingly huge. To take on the task of defending the title, Mercedes-AMG, together with the customer teams, has found promising formations that also resulted into some new team-and-driver combinations.
For instance, for strategic reasons, #maximiliangotz will be moving from HRT to WINWARD #racing that managed to secure a strong third place in the DTM teams’ standings in 2021. As a result, the reigning DTM champion and third-placed of last year’s 24-hour race at the Nürburgring will become the new teammate to #lucasauer in the second Mercedes-AMG GT3 of the team from Altendiez. With over one hundred races and seven victories, Auer ranks among the most experienced DTM drivers in the entire field. Last season, he ended up in fifth place of the drivers’ standings and scored race wins in Assen and at the Hockenheimring.
Compared to last year, Mercedes-AMG Team GruppeM #racing is going into the 2022 DTM season with one car more. New and high-class are also the drivers: #maroengel and Mikaël Grenier will be behind the wheel of GruppeM’s two Mercedes-AMG GT3s. For Engel, one of the world’s most successful GT drivers, it is his second comeback in DTM. The AMG brand ambassador already raced in the series for Mercedes-AMG from 2008 till 2011 and in the 2017 season. Grenier, meanwhile, will be making his debut in DTM. However, as a reference, the 29-year-old can refer to a fresh Pro-Am drivers’ title in the Intercontinental GT Challenge that could give the Canadian momentum for his DTM campaign.
