Is Land-Motorsport set to expand in the DTM? Timo Glock is testing the Land Porsche!

Land-Motorsport contested its second DTM season in 2026, and its first with a Porsche 911 GT3 R. Young driver Bastian Buus – who won the 24 Hours of Spa and the Sprint Cup title in the GT World Challenge Europe this year – was at the wheel and achieved some notable results.

“Land is a top team that operates at a very high level,” said Porsche’s GT3 project manager Maximilian Müller at a press conference during the DTM finale at Hockenheim. “We are very proud that they have achieved such results in their first season with a young driver.” Porsche’s Head of Motorsport, Thomas Laudenbach, added that the brand hopes the team will field a second 911 GT3 R next year.

One possible driver for the second Porsche could be Timo Glock, who, after two difficult years, is unlikely to continue racing for Dörr Motorsport in future. Rumours to this effect have been circulating in the DTM paddock for some time. Today, Thursday, former Formula 1 driver Glock will test the team’s Porsche for the first time.

“This test has a long history,” explains Christian Land. “Timo competed in a GT4 BMW at the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in 2024; I was team manager for that campaign at Cerny Motorsport at the time. Back then, we joked that Timo absolutely had to take a seat in the Land-Motorsport cockpit at some point. Over the years, a close friendship has developed between us and the timing for this test is now perfect.”

The 44-year-old crowd favourite adds: “I’m already familiar with the Porsche from a race on the Nordschleife back in 2024. Now I’m looking forward to testing Land-Motorsport’s Porsche 911 GT3 R. I’m looking forward to it simply because, compared to back then, this is the latest Evo version of the car. I’ve been in regular contact with Christian about it.”
