Why DTM champion Preining has foregone use of #1 in 2024
The Austrian driver will continue to race with his preferred number 91 on his 911 GT3 R in 2024, despite being entitled to display the champion’s number 1 according to DTM rules. He opts to maintain his traditional number as a fresh start and looks to earn the current champion status once more. Preining emphasizes the need to work hard in the upcoming season and earn the number 1 through winning the title. This will be his third season in the DTM, having played a key role in Porsche’s success in the series last year. Despite opportunities in other racing programs, he has chosen to focus on defending his DTM title, highlighting his enjoyment of the sprint format and wheel-to-wheel racing in the series. The goal for 2024 remains clear for Preining: defend the title or win it again.
