Audi is back for more: Feller starts in the 2025 DTM

• Swiss racer to drive an Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo2
• Land-Motorsport joins the DTM

Munich. The Audi flag continues to be flown in the DTM, as the manufacturer lines up with a crowd favourite. Ricardo Feller starts in an R8 LMS GT3 Evo2 – the Swiss can call upon the experience gained over three DTM seasons, during which time he has won two races and claimed a further five podiums. The Audi will be run by Land-Motorsport. The team from Niederdreisbach in the Westerwald mountain range is new to the DTM this year.

"Everything has fallen into place perfectly, and I am so glad to be racing in the DTM with Land-Motorsport," says Feller. "The last few weeks have been really energy sapping for me. The discontinuation of my actual DTM programme hit me hard, as everything was uncertain for me. I am particularly grateful to Christian and Wolfgang Land for leaving no stone unturned. I would also like to thank Porsche for releasing me."

A glance in the rear-view mirror provides evidence that the combination of Feller and Land-Motorsport promises to be a successful one. Back in 2021, aged 21 at the time, Feller won the ADAC GT Masters with the Land team. This year, Feller and Land-Motorsport want to challenge together in the DTM. "Ricardo was originally supposed to be racing for another team in the DTM. However, that project fell through a few weeks ago," says team manager Christian Land. "That soon led to us cooperating closely to get an alternative programme up and running for him."

"Ever since my first day in the DTM, my goal has not changed: I want to win this championship," stresses 24-year-old Feller. The first test awaits the driver from Aarau at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben, the venue for the opening round of the DTM season from 25th to 27th April. Feller's first encounter with his DTM rivals will be in Oschersleben on 2nd April, when the circuit hosts the official pre-season test and Media Day - the dress rehearsal for the 2025 season.
