A new team and a new driver: just over two months after the opening of the new season DTM 2o22 – scheduled for the Portuguese circuit of Portimão over the weekend from 29 April to 1 May – the category has officially welcomed theAttempto Racinga team based in Hannover that will play the championship with a Audi R8 LMS evo II. The absolute debut of the German manufacturer will take place with its own driver Marius Zug, also ready for his debut in the series after signing the contract on his 19th birthday. The young promise is fresh from experience in the GT4 European Series and the German ADAC GT4, both of which ended with the title of vice-champion. In the last two seasons, before the recent definitive transition to DTM – despite having been carrying out an intense program of preparation for the simulator for some time – Zug had also disputed the Italian GT championship with the BMW team: “Racing in the top touring and sports car championship has always been my goal – commented the German driver – I am super happy to have been able to sign the contract with Attempto Racing and to have done it on my birthday. This, for me, is a dream come true“.
A desire that comes true not only for Zug, but also for an entire reality such as Attempto Racing, up to now engaged in the GT3 championship: “With Marius, we have a real gem in our team – commented a beaming Arkin Akateam principal of the new entry in DTM – for us too this is a dream come true. It has been a while since we have been looking to get involved in a premium league like the DTM. Now, we will do everything to leave a good impression on this high-level stage. With Marius we think we will be able to achieve results in the medium-high area of the standings and, with a little luck, even beyond. “
