GRT has confirmed that Clemens Schmid will make the move with the team from ADAC GT MASTERS TO THE DTM IN 2022.
After two years at Grasser Racing, he will drive the #16 Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO, the first of four to be signed by GRT as drivers for next year.
GRT and Schmid first began working together in the ADAC GT Masters in 2020. He also competed with GRT in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup during 2021 and secured a podium in the Silver Cup.
Clemens Schmid: “Joining the DTM means that a dream I’ve nursed for a long time is about to come true. I’ve always followed the series ever since being a young kid and knowing that I will be racing in the DTM with an Austrian outfit puts the icing on the cake. I’ve been able to find my feet in the team and get to know the car inside out during these past two years. It’s an amazing machine, with which we can achieve great things, potentially.”
Team Principal Gottfried Grasser: “I’m really pleased to see that Clemens is going to continue working with us in the DTM. He has shown that he is a very talented as a driver. He’s been on a steep learning curve these past two years and this promotion to the DTM is exactly the right move for him. He will get the chance to focus on his strengths and on fine-tuning the car to suit his needs. As a result, he should be able to fully develop his potential and I’m pretty certain that he will be good for a surprise or two, for sure.”
