Porsche newcomer in the DTM

• Change of manufacturer for Land-Motorsport
• Porsche Supercup winner Bastian Buus to line up in the DTM

Munich. Land-Motorsport will take on the DTM with a new manufacturer. The team belonging to Wolfgang and Christian Land is switching from Audi to Porsche and will run the new Porsche 911 GT3 R in 2026. Land-Motorsport is also the first team to confirm a driver for the 2026 DTM season: talented youngster Bastian Buus (22) from Denmark will be behind the wheel for the team from the Westerwald region. The new DTM season kicks off from 24th to 26th April at the Red Bull Ring in Austria. Tickets start at € 49 and are available at dtm.com.

“We are proud to be part of the DTM again next season, and are confident we will line up with a strong package with Porsche,” says team principal Christian Land. “We showed in our debut season that we can mix it at the front of the field – we obviously want to back that up in 2026. In Bastian, we have a young driver with bags of talent.”

Buus won the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup in 2023 and has made successful appearances with the Porsche 911 GT3 R in various international events over the past two years. In its first year in the DTM with Audi and Ricardo Feller, Land-Motorsport claimed one race win at the Red Bull Ring and made it onto the podium on a further two occasions.

Moving into its second season in the DTM, Land-Motorsport will run the latest evolution of the car that won the DTM title in both 2023 and 2025, the Porsche 911 GT3 R. The 911 optimised for the 2026 season was presented during the DTM race weekend at the Nürburgring in the summer.
