When Rene Rast and Kelvin van der Linde teamed up to win the 2014 ADAC GT Masters title, Ricardo Feller was still in go-karts. Fast forward eight years, and Swiss 21-year-old Feller is part of Abt’s DTM roster alongside returning treble champion Rast and 2021 title challenger van der Linde, having won Germany’s ‘other’ GT3 title last year.
Like van der Linde before him, Feller was bestowed with Audi factory driver status for his GT Masters success together with Christopher Mies, their Land Motorsport R8 clinching the title with three wins. Feller’s standout 2021 season also included a full GT World Challenge Europe programme with the Emil Frey Racing Lamborghini squad, winning a Sprint Cup round at Zandvoort with sometime Formula E racer Alex Fontana and claiming the Endurance Cup Silver title together with Feller and rapid gentleman driver Rolf Iniechen.
