Title celebrations for Schubert Motorsport after the 2024 DTM season finale at Hockenheim (GER). For the second time since 2022, the team, led by team principal Torsten Schubert, has been crowned champion in the team standings. To conclude the year, René Rast (GER) drove the #33 RoboMarkets BMW M4 GT3 to a third-place finish on the podium. Throughout the season, Rast, Sheldon van der Linde (RSA), and Marco Wittmann (GER) achieved a total of four victories and three additional podium finishes .
After 16 races, Schubert Motorsport has 361 points in the team standings, 35 more than the runner-up. In the driver standings, Rast finished the season in fourth place with two wins, one second place, one third place, and 172 points. Van der Linde, who finished ninth in the last race in his #31 Shell BMW M4 GT3, ended the season sixth in the driver standings, while Wittmann finished twelfth after crossing the line seventh in the #11 Schaeffler BMW M4 GT3 on Sunday at Hockenheim.
The final weekend was a reflection of a season with highs and lows. Once again, the qualifying issues that had accompanied Schubert Motorsport and the three BMW M works drivers throughout the year were evident. However, in the race, all three drivers made spectacular comebacks. Rast improved from eleventh on the grid to third place on Sunday, Wittmann drove from 19th to seventh, and van der Linde from 17th to ninth. Already on Saturday, Rast had gained nine places to finish seventh. Wittmann and van der Linde finished in ninth and eleventh places, respectively.
ADAC GT Masters and ADAC GT4 Germany.
In the ADAC GT Masters, before the final weekend, Maxime Oosten (NED) and Leon Köhler (GER) in the FK Performance Motorsport #54 BMW M4 GT3 still had mathematical title chances but had to settle for second place in the overall standings after finishing sixth in Saturday’s race. In Sunday’s race, the duo clinched a strong second-place podium finish.
In ADAC GT4 Germany, Gabriele Piana (ITA) and Michael Schrey (GER) arrived as leaders in the overall standings. However, the duo experienced a disastrous weekend in their #2 BMW M4 GT4 from Hofor Racing by Bonk Motorsport. A retirement in Saturday’s race due to a technical issue cost Piana and Schrey the lead in the title race. They could not reclaim the title on Sunday with a tenth-place finish in the second race. Thus, despite having dominated the season for long spells, they had to settle for second place.
