The DTM is a highly competitive GT sprint series featuring some of the fastest and most talented GT3 drivers. Across 16 races at six circuits in Germany and two in neighbouring countries, GT3 cars battle it out for the DTM title. Since entering the DTM with Porsche in 2023, Manthey EMA has built an impressive track record of success. In its debut season, the team from Meuspath claimed the drivers’, teams’ and manufacturers’ championships. Following its victory in the DTM Pitstop Challenge in 2024, Ayhancan Güven won the DTM drivers’ title with Manthey in 2025, while the team once again secured the teams’ championship. In addition, driver Morris Schuring was awarded the inaugural “Rookie of the Year” title.
Manthey continued its success in 2026. At the season finale in Hockenheim in early October, the team, together with drivers Thomas Preining and Ricardo Feller, won the DTM teams’ championship for the third time in four years. At the same time, Preining was crowned DTM champion for the second time, following his first title in 2023.
