Timo Bernhard’s Porsche team announces DTM exit
Team owner and Le Mans winner Timo Bernhard has announced that his team, Team75, will not be able to continue fielding the Porsche 911 GT3 R in the German category next year due to a combination of personal commitments and budget constraints. Bernhard, who is also a Porsche brand ambassador, expressed the difficulty of balancing his responsibilities towards the team and his ambassadorial duties. The team will now shift its focus to fielding amateur drivers in championships running the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, as well as promoting young drivers in karting and junior categories. Team75 will also provide support to the newly formed Porsche Team Phantom Global Racing in the GT World Challenge Asia. Despite the change, the team will continue to follow the DTM closely. In their first season in the DTM, Team75 achieved success with two race victories and a fifth-place finish in the standings. However, they were unable to secure any victories in 2023, but still managed to finish sixth in the final standings.
