After winning the Team championship last year, Haupt Racing Team will continue its involvement in the ADAC GT Masters in 2024. Reigning ADAC GT Masters champion Salman Owega and David Schumacher (both GER) are set to form a formidable pairing for the team from Drees. Youngsters Finn Wiebelhaus (GER) and Kwanda Mokoena (RSA) will also line up in the fiercely-competitive racing series.

Last autumn, Haupt Racing Team secured the Team title in the ADAC GT Masters at the Hockenheimring. HRT is now continuing its concept of supporting young drivers in the 2024 season, whilst at the same time fielding a strong duo of drivers in the ultra-competitive championship.

In Salman Owega, Haupt Racing Team has acquired the services of the reigning ADAC GT Masters champion. The Cologne-born driver switches to the HRT Mercedes-AMG GT3 this year. Owega may only be 18 years old, but he gained his first experience of GT3 racing in 2021, since when he has tasted success in a wide range of renowned GT series. Winning the Drivers’ Championship in last season’s ADAC GT Masters was a sporting highlight for Wega.

David Schumacher is also new to Haupt Racing Team and will contest this season’s ADAC GT Masters alongside Owega. The 22-year-old Mercedes-AMG Junior switched from Formula racing to sports cars in 2022 and has since been racing in the DTM and the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe. Schumacher produced some impressive performances on his way to third place in the Gold class in last year’s GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.

In Owega and Schumacher, Haupt Racing Team has assembled a very promising pair of drivers and is well positioned to challenge for the title in 2024. HRT continues to place great emphasis on supporting youngsters. Young drivers Finn Wiebelhaus and Kwanda Mokoena will also line up in the ADAC GT Masters. Both racers are already undergoing a programme of preparations for the ADAC GT Masters with HRT.
