At the age of just 17, Theo Oeverhaus will become the youngest driver to race in the DTM later this month. He will race a Walkenhorst Motorsport BMW M4 GT3 at the Nurburgring ⬇️
Oeverhaus will compete as a wildcard entrant in the fifth round of the 2022 DTM season on 28-29 August, racing a third BMW M4 GT3 alongside Walkenhorst regulars Esteban Muth and two-time champion Marco Wittmann.
Facing a manageable 23-point deficit to Dutch driver and championship leader Colin Caresani, Oeverhaus will pull double duty at the Nurburgring to remain in the hunt for a first title in DTM Trophy. Oeverhaus is set to surpass countryman Pascal Wehrlein as the youngest driver to take part in a DTM race weekend. Wehrlein was 18 years old when he began racing in the DTM with Mercedes in 2013, and he went on to become the series’ youngest champion two years later.
