Emil Frey Racing: Start of the season in a double pack
FOR THE DTM ANNIVERSARY Emil Frey Racing is ready for the start of the new season. Next weekend, the first round of the DTM and the ADAC GT Masters in Oschersleben will open an eagerly awaited motorsport year.
The traditional Swiss racing team will compete in the DTM with regular drivers Jack Aitken and Thierry Vermeulen. After a year's break, the team is also taking part in the ADAC GT Masters again, entering a Ferrari 296 GT3 with Swiss driver duo Jean-Luc D'Auria and Alain Valente.
Rigorous test program
To mark the 40th anniversary of the DTM, the top-class championship presents itself with twenty drivers and eleven teams. More than half of all participants have already achieved victories or podium finishes in the DTM. Despite the high performance density, Emil Frey Racing is positive about the new season, as the team completed a meticulous test program during the winter, and the hard work already paid off during the official tests in Hockenheim, when Aitken and Vermeulen set competitive times.
Fast Masters drivers
The young drivers made an equally successful debut at the ADAC GT Masters tests at the Hockenheimring, when D'Auria finished the second day of testing as the fastest of the day. In the DTM this season, 32 drivers from nine teams and seven manufacturers are battling it out for the winner's trophy. With Valente, Emil Frey Racing has brought the runner-up from 2023 into the team and will do everything in its power to win the championship this time. The first double weekend with the DTM and the ADAC GT Masters will take place in Oschersleben from April 26 to 28.
Team vote
Team Principal Lorenz Frey-Hilti comments: "The whole team is really looking forward to the new season. We had a productive winter period in which we analyzed a lot of things from last year and fixed the mistakes. The official test drives looked promising, but in principle you can only say how strong we are after the first qualifying session."
ProSieben will remain the exclusive TV partner of the DTM in the anniversary season and will show all 16 races of the season live on television. Coverage begins on Saturday and Sunday 30 minutes before the start of the race at 13:00.
