Dörr Motorsport will field an unchanged driver line-up in the DTM this year, with both Timo Glock and Ben Dörr returning to the McLaren squad.
Last year, the team made major progress during its sophomore DTM campaign, picking up multiple top 10 finishes and earning its maiden pole position, which was also McLaren’s first in the series, at the Nürburgring courtesy of Dörr.
2026 will mark Glock’s 11th full season in the DTM. The five-time race winner made his return to the championship last year after three seasons away, competing in a car other than a BMW for the first time.
“The confidence and belief that we will take another step forward this year is what motivates me,” Glock said. “My expectations are we are able to convert the progress we have made in the off-season into consistently good race weekends. I am particularly looking forward to the races in Hockenheim and Spielberg, as both tracks really suit me and I particularly like driving there.”
21-year-old Dörr, in his second DTM campaign, finished as runner-up in the Rookie of the Year contest last season, ending up just 15 points behind Morris Schuring despite two costly disqualifications.
The McLaren GT3 Junior driver commented: “I expect us to consistently get good results and, over the course of the season, to enjoy one or two highlights. I am particularly driven by the desire for us to improve continuously, get faster all the time, and set our sights on challenging at the front in the coming season. I am most looking forward to the Nürburgring, as it went really well there last year.”
Rainer Dörr, team owner, added: “We want to consistently finish in the top five and, ideally, make it onto the podium together with McLaren. We have meticulously analysed our findings from the first two years in the DTM, and have reorganised virtually every area. From strengthening the personnel in the team and further developing the car in fine detail, to extensive test programmes. Our test data gives us plenty of reason to be confident and shows that we have taken a big step forward.”
The 2026 DTM season begins at the Red Bull Ring, Austria on 24th to 26th April 2026.
