Conventional wisdom suggests that it’s much harder to be successful when going it alone than hunting in a pack. That applies for beasts in the wild, but also to the two Porsche squads that have entered the DTM jungle this year.
One of only two single-car teams in the paddock (the other being the Attempto Racing Audi squad running 19-year-old Marius Zug), Team Bernhard’s two-time Le Mans 24 Hours-winning boss Timo Bernhard has good reason to describe his outfit as “underdogs”. He is forthright in admitting that he has plans to expand for next year, telling Motorsport.com that “a racing team works best if you have two cars on the grid”.
