On his comeback in the Super Sports Car League, the 29-year-old will be sharing the cockpit of the number 19 Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO with Niels Lagrange. Schmid first entered the ADAC GT Masters in 2010. He also contested races in the 2015 and 2018 seasons, making two podium appearances in this highly competitive GT3 series. The last Austrian national to drive for Gottfried Grasser was Gerhard Tweraser.

"I am very happy to be joining one of the most successful GT teams of the last few years and am impatient for the start of the season," said Schmid. "During the winter, I was looking for the best option for this year and decided to get in touch with Gottfried Grasser. We quickly came to an agreement. The switch from the Audi, which I drove most recently, to the Lamborghini shouldn't be difficult. The cars are similar in terms of chassis and engine. Gottfried was also of the opinion that I would soon feel at home."

This means that two of the three Lamborghinis to be fielded by GRT Grasser Racing Team now have drivers. Competing alongside Schmid and Lagrange will be two series newcomers, Tim Zimmermann and Steijn Schothorst.
