Thomas Preining made history in Hockenheim. The high-flying Porsche driver became the first DTM champion from Austria in only his second season in the DTM, crowning an impressive year and adding a special chapter to his own CV and that of others around him. The Manthey EMA racer also achieved a historic triumph for Porsche: Preining’s virtuoso effort in 2023 ensured that the trophy cabinet of the Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer will include the DTM trophy for the first time.
