Lamborghini Sets DTM Lineup
Written by I Dig Sports
MUNICH, Germany The TGI Lamborghini Team by GRT is taking on the challenge of DTM 2025 with an exciting line-up.
The two Lamborghini factory drivers Luca Engstler (Kempten) and Jordan Pepper from South Africa are attacking for the team from Austria with two Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2s.
Since entering the DTM in 2022, Gottfried Grassers team has won three races and finished on the podium eight times. In the upcoming season, the team supported by Lamborghini Squadra Corse wants to record further successes.
Engstler is going into his third DTM year with a lot of self-confidence. The 24-year-old rounded off last season with victories at the opening round in Oschersleben and the finale in Hockenheim and recently made the jump to the Lamborghini factory squad.
Im really looking forward to starting another DTM season. To also become a factory driver for such a great brand as Lamborghini makes me incredibly proud and happy. I hope, of course, that we can build on last years victories, says Engstler, whose trademark is vehicle wrapping in the colors of his partner Liqui Moly.
With Pepper, the TGI Lamborghini Team by GRT has gained a real insider tip for its DTM campaign. The Johannesburg native has previously worked for Bentley and Lamborghini around the world, celebrating titles and individual victories in North America and Australia. Pepper made his DTM debut last year at the Sachsenring.
Its a dream come true for me, says the 28-year-old about his DTM cockpit. Last year I was able to get a little taste of it during my guest start and from that moment on I knew that I would pull out all the stops to become a regular driver in the DTM. Now Im very motivated and can hardly wait for the start of the season in Oschersleben.
Team boss Gottfried Grasser is optimistic:
I am immensely pleased that we are starting our fourth year in the DTM. It is the first time that we are competing in the full DTM season with two Lamborghini factory drivers. With our strong overall package, I definitely expect us to regularly finish in the top five and of course more. I think every DTM participant wakes up in the morning and wants to be champion. But we are initially concentrating on the first six races, we want to collect good and consistent points there and then we will see what happens.
The direction of the series also plays an important role for the TGI Lamborghini Team by GRT. With the DTM, we can offer our partners a platform that is constantly evolving and growing. In addition, with the introduction of the innovative, renewable fuel, the DTM is becoming a flagship for the future and is thus showing a much-needed alternative for the automotive industry, says Grasser.
