- Paul: “I am looking forward to every single lap in the DTM”
- Family affair: Paul drives for his father’s team
Munich. A DTM newcomer: Paul Motorsport is all set to make its debut in the popular racing series this year, adding yet more weight to the high-class field. The team will make its first appearance on the DTM grid at the season-opener, which takes place from 26th to 28th April at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben. Behind the steering wheel of the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2 for the rookie team will be Maximilian Paul (Dresden). A glance back to last year reveals the potential of this promising combination of 24-year-old driver and Italian race car. On only his second outing in the DTM, Paul sensationally won the Sunday race at the Nürburgring with the Grasser Racing Team.
“This is a dream come true for me. Especially after the victory last year, my goal was to contest the full season. I am looking forward to every single lap in the DTM,” says Paul, who cannot wait to line up in his first complete season in the DTM. The driver from Dresden made his debut in the ADAC GT Masters in 2019, and raced in the popular ADAC series with various different brands up to the 2023 season. Since 2021, Paul has put his faith in Italian manufacturer Lamborghini, with whom he made his DTM debut with the Grasser Racing Team in the same year.
Paul Motorsport’s involvement in the DTM is a family affair. While Maximilian Paul takes his place behind the wheel, his father Tobias is principal of the team from Saxony. The father/son team can look forward to two home events: the DEKRA Lausitzring (24th to 26th May) and the Sachsenring (6th to 8th September) are both close to the team’s headquarters in Dresden.
