New designs: Manthey to race with special livery at the DTM season finale

The two Manthey Porsches driven by championship leader Thomas Preining and the newly crowned GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup champion Ricardo Feller will compete in a special livery at the DTM season finale at the Hockenheimring.

With these special liveries, the Porsche racing team from Meuspath aims to once again pay fitting tribute to its 30th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of the Grello.

The team’s Porsche had already competed in a special design for this reason at the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring.

As was the case during the 2026 Nürburgring 24 Hours, the special designs bridge the gap between the team’s past, present and future. The basis is formed by the current ‘Grello’ liveries from the 2026 DTM season, which have been complemented by historical and forward-looking design elements: at the heart of both cars is a reinterpreted streamlined design in the classic Grello colours. The special livery is completed by the striking yellow-and-green roof, a tribute to ‘den Dicken’, who enjoyed numerous successes on the Nordschleife between 2005 and 2011.

Meanwhile, Thomas Preining heads to the DTM season finale at the Hockenheimring with a comfortable lead at the top of the standings. Although the Austrian is heading to the historic circuit in good spirits, he doesn’t want to be too complacent – SPEEDWEEK has summarised more about Preining’s title battle for you here.
