Audi Stays in DTM with Last-Minute Land Motorsport Entry

News from Crash.net confirms that Audi will remain on the DTM grid in 2025 thanks to Land Motorsport fielding a late entry for Ricardo Feller. With Abt Sportsline switching to Lamborghini and Audi scaling back its GT3 program, the brand’s presence in the series was in jeopardy.

Feller, a past GT Masters champion with Land Motorsport, had originally signed with Allied Racing to drive a Porsche 911 GT3 R. However, Allied’s sudden withdrawal left him without a seat, until Land Motorsport stepped in.

Team boss Christian Land shared that they had been in discussions with Feller and worked out an alternative plan. Porsche also granted approval for the Swiss driver to compete in an Audi, as both brands fall under the Volkswagen Group.

Feller expressed gratitude to both Land Motorsport and Porsche for making the opportunity possible. The team will begin testing at Oschersleben on April 1st before the season opener later that month.

Meanwhile, Porsche will still be represented in DTM with Manthey expanding to a three-car lineup.
