The Haupt Racing Team has two new, powerful partners for the 2025 DTM season: German Airways and Speedlink. Together with HRT, these two renowned German brands are committed to innovation, dynamic performance and achieving the highest standards in international motorsport.
- DTM 2025: Ford Mustang GT3 #64 in full German Airways livery
- Joint marketing activation by HRT, German Airways and Speedlink
- Presence also at ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring and CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa
As part of the partnership, the Ford Mustang GT3 #64 from HRT Ford Performance will compete in the DTM with an eye-catching full livery from German Airways. The Speedlink logo will also be prominently displayed on the car driven by Fabio Scherer (SUI). In addition, further joint marketing and activation activities are planned to bring the partnership to life for fans and customers. In addition to the DTM, German Airways and Speedlink will also be present at the two endurance highlights of the year - the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring (June 19-22) and the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa (June 26-29) - together with HRT.
With this new partnership, the Haupt Racing Team is underlining its claim to break new ground as an innovative and professional motorsport team and to establish strong partnerships for sustainable success.
Ulrich Fritz, Chief Executive Officer Haupt Racing Team: “With German Airways and Speedlink, we are proud to have not only two very well-known brands at our side, but also a strong network that shares our values and supports us in realizing our vision. Together we want to set new standards. This applies both on and off the racetrack, for example in the optimization of internal processes. The collaboration definitely has great potential to grow even further in the future - even beyond the DTM.”
Wolfram Simon-Schröter, Chief Executive Officer of Kolibri Beteiligung GmbH: “German Airways and Speedlink are both strong brands under our roof. Our core business is logistics, we grew up with powerful engines, but more in trucks. And in our business, speed is also very important. Therefore, a commitment to a DTM team is almost an obvious choice. Now what belongs together has finally come together: we are very excited to support HRT in the future and have entered our Speedlink and German Airways brands into the race. The collaboration unites brands that stand for enthusiasm for technology, precision and performance - in both the digital and real world.”
