Not for over two years have The-Advantage reported on the race and Championship winning exploits of Schaller Motorsport and Timo Scheibner with their normally aspirated V12 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 – until today!!

Today we learn that in lieu of a McLaren 720S that they were scheduled to have been racing in, that Dorr Motorsports in Germany announce an entry for drivers Dino Steiner and Phil Dorr in a 2019 specification AMR Vantage GT3 in this weekend’s visit of their national DMV GTC Series at the Hockenheim circuit. This will also be the teams first race with the AMR Vantage GT3 platform!

Good news for lovers of the venerable V12 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 in Germany next season as the 2019 DMV GTC overall Champion, Timo Scheibner will be returning with his racing example to defend his crown next year.

Next season, the German GT series steps up a gear and supports the DTM Series as it travels across Germany visiting race tracks at Hockenheim, Nurburgring, Lausitzring and the Norisring (with a little visit across the border to Monza as well). The series has become an attractive destination for many owner/drivers of former GT3/GT4 machinery no longer in OEM homologation with larger series and operates a very cost effective form of racing together with a fully streamed race meeting.


Announcing his commitment to the Series from the Essen Motorshow this weekend, Scheibner (centre of photo with trophy) confirmed that his Schaller Motorsport prepared AMR will again compete in Class 2 in the Series two - 30 minute and one 60 minute race formats.

The Series starts at Hockenheim at the end of March
