Start of second Grasser Lamborghini following Oschersleben crash unclear

Will the full DTM field of 21 cars also line up at Oschersleben, or will the field be reduced to 20 cars? It remains unclear whether the Grasser Racing Team’s second Lamborghini Temerario GT3 will compete at the event in the Magdeburger Börde.

“As things stand today, it doesn’t look too promising. However, we can’t say anything definitive at the moment,” team boss Gottfried Grasser told Motorsport-Magazin today, Thursday.

Grasser also confirmed that the Temerario involved in the crash is not a write-off. “We want to repair the car. However, it’s a question of the spare parts and whether they’ll arrive by next week.” The spare parts situation for the new Lamborghini Temerario GT3 – of which only seven cars are in action worldwide across the DTM, the GT World Challenge Europe and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship – is tight.

Should the team from Knittelfeld in Austria manage to complete the repairs in time for the event at Oschersleben, it remains unclear who will be driving the car. “As things stand today, we haven’t nominated a replacement driver yet,” Grasser concluded. Among the Lamborghini works driver line-up, Christian Engelhart, Patric Niederhauser, Franck Perera and Andrea Caldarelli still have experience in the DTM.

Maximilian Paul is still on the road to recovery.
