After finishing runner-up in 2023, Mirko Bortolotti went one better by delivering his maiden DTM crown with a consistent campaign. There was only one win, a well-judged wet-dry affair at the Red Bull Ring, but nobody eclipsed the SSR Lamborghini Huracan driver’s tally of seven podiums.
He showed steel too, fending off a train of cars headed by chief rival Kelvin van der Linde for second at Zandvoort with a delaminating left-rear tyre. Elsewhere, Bortolotti was part of Iron Lynx’s crew that claimed GTD Pro spoils at Petit Le Mans and made his Hypercar debut in the disappointing SC63 LMDh.
