With one victory and several podium finishes, the 2026 ADAC GT Masters season for razoon – more than racing has been a fairly successful one so far. However, the team is no longer in contention for the title ahead of the final two races, which will be held as part of the DTM finale at Hockenheim. It goes without saying, therefore, that a major goal for the team from Styria is to be in contention for the title once again next season. The most important prerequisite for this: a strong driver line-up! And they have already, even before the season finale, put pen to paper on the relevant contracts. As a result, the Austrian Leo Pichler and the German Colin Bönighausen will line up for razoon – more than racing in the ADAC GT Masters for the 2027 season as an experienced driver duo.
Team owner Dominik Olbert: “It’s absolutely brilliant that our drivers have shown us such trust and given us such high praise by extending their contracts for another year even before the final race of the season. What’s more, this means we as a team are able to plan ahead and prepare as well as possible for 2027. Not only do Leo and Colin work brilliantly together, but there’s also a fantastic synergy between the team and everyone involved. They’ll be driving our Milwaukee Porsche 911 GT3 R again next year, and of course our goal is quite clearly to win the title together.”
Unsurprisingly, the two drivers are also delighted. Leo Pichler: “It’s absolutely brilliant that we’ve already been able to finalise everything. Ultimately, though, this is simply the logical outcome of our experience: the package we have at our disposal, together with Dominik and the team, has played just as big a part in this as the great collaboration with Colin. A big thank you, of course, goes to all our partners, without whom a project like this wouldn’t be possible – first and foremost Milwaukee. In any case, I’m already looking forward to next season and, of course, we want to be in the running for the title.”
Colin Bönighausen adds: “I’m really looking forward to next season with Leo. We work brilliantly together, are similarly fast on the track and get on very well on a personal level too. We’ve had a bit of bad luck now and then this year, but next year we’ll be going into the title chase fully motivated and perfectly prepared!”
First, though, the focus is once again on achieving the best possible race results at Hockenheim. And there, alongside the Leo Pichler/Colin Bönighausen duo, razoon’s second fast driver pairing will of course be going full throttle once again: Mark Kastelic and Pavel Lefterov have already demonstrated their potential on several occasions this season; it’s just that luck hasn’t always been on their side.
