Grasser confirms second Lamborghini for Nurburgring: Who will be in the cockpit?

Team principal Gottfried Grasser has announced that the Grasser team will compete with two Lamborghini Temerario GT3 cars at the upcoming DTM weekend at the Nurburgring. This brings the DTM grid back up to 21 cars. However, the identity of the driver who will sit in the car with the number 19 - Mirko Bortolotti's teammate - remains undecided.

Candidates include Frenchman Franck Perera, who has DTM experience with the Grasser team and a previous victory at Oschersleben. Additionally, Christian Engelhart, who took a break due to a knee injury, and Patric Niederhauser, a promising candidate from the Rutronik team, are also in contention.
