Overview
- Grasser Racing purchased a replacement Lamborghini chassis after the car damaged in Maximilian Paul’s Norisring crash was declared not repairable by Lamborghini, enabling the team to run two cars again.
- Christian Engelhart will step in as the second Grasser/Lamborghini driver at the Nürburgring weekend on 14–16 August, partnering Mirko Bortolotti and appearing in the broadcast on ProSieben with streams on Joyn.
- Maximilian Paul suffered fractures to his shin, fibula and a lumbar vertebra in the early‑July Norisring crash and is in recovery with a conditional hope of returning for the season finale in Hockenheim.
- The Nürburgring event will feature a 21‑car grid that again includes a Lamborghini Temerario GT3 and serves as the sixth race weekend of the season with only Sachsenring and Hockenheim remaining.
- Engelhart’s long record with GRT and Lamborghini — including multiple wins and endurance success — gives the team experienced cover and helps preserve its competitiveness as the title battle led by Maro Engel tightens.
