Porsche-contracted Christian Engelhart will return to the DTM in this weekend’s season finale at Hockenheim to drive for Lamborghini outfit Grasser Racing.
Engelhart, who split with Toksport WRT after the first half of the 2023 campaign, will team up with Clemen Schmid in the pair of races at Hockenheim on October 21-22, replacing Andrea Caldarelli in Grasser’s two-car line-up. Caldarelli, who was called in by Grasser to take part at the Red Bull Ring to take the second seat that was previously occupied by Mick Wishofer and then Maximilian Paul, is unable to compete at Hockenheim due to clashing LMDh testing commitments with Lamborghini.
'Returning to my Grasser Racing family for Hockenheim is a great feeling!,” said the 36-year-old. “We have already celebrated great successes together in the past. Now to compete together in the DTM is a highlight for us. “At the same time, my special thanks go to Porsche, who gave me the green light for this project. The challenge to get used to the new Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 in a very short time is enormous, so I’m now fully focused on the job ahead.
