Mirko Bortolotti is returning to Grasser after just one year at Abt. The 2024 DTM champion had been delegated by Lamborghini to the Kempten-based squad last year after Abt left Audi to campaign the Huracan GT3, but the season turned into a disaster. Bortolotti — considered the fastest driver in Lamborghini’s line-up — finished no higher than sixth and ended up 14th in the overall standings, while Abt endured the worst DTM season in its history.
Now, Bortolotti returns to the Grasser team, which was clearly Lamborghini’s number one outfit in the DTM last year and fought for the title with Jordan Pepper until the final round. The Italian brand has now explained why the the 36-year-old Italian is returning to the team run by his long-time associate Gottfried Grasser.
