Running for their second season, the DTM Trophy this year has two Aston Martin Racing V8 Vantage GT4’s running a full season campaign with the PROsport Racing team for drivers Patrik Matthiessen and Tim Heinemann.
Winning the opening season last year aboard a Mercedes AMG GT4, 23-year-old German driver Heinemann swaps to an also proven AMR chassis (appropriately numbers #1) alongside former British GT racer Matthiessen. Having already undertaken the official series test at the Lausitzring earlier in the year, Matthiessen also ran his #19 car during the Free Practice sessions of the GT4 European Series event at the circuit back in mid-April.
The series will again run on a basis of single drivers competing in two 30 minute plus one lap race over the weekend with the successful cars then running a ‘success ballast’ at the next race. The winning driver at the end of the year will also win €75,000 as well as a DTM test.
