Paddock Legends congratulates the new champion of the DTM season 2023!

Manthey EMA and Thomas Preining made racing history at the Hockenheimring finale

In his second DTM season, Thomas Preining has already achieved impressive milestones. In 2022, he became the first Porsche winner in the DTM, and just one year later, he secured the DTM championship title for the 2023 season as the first driver on a Porsche 911, alongside Manthey EMA. It's an impressive accomplishment that was celebrated by the racing community and the countless "Grello" fans at the season finale in Hockenheim.

A perfect season finale in Hockenheim!

Particularly remarkable was his performance in the final races at Hockenheim. With incredible composure, he dominated the last two scoring races and managed to win both qualifying sessions and races, a feat that no one else achieved earlier in the season – a remarkable accomplishment that no other driver in the nearly 40-year history of DTM had accomplished before.

For the Manthey EMA team from Meuspath at the Nurburgring, a dream also came true in their success story, winning the first DTM season as Team Champions in their first attempt. Thomas Preining's move to Manthey EMA was a testament to a championship-winning combination. The trust they placed in Thomas Preining by entrusting him with the "Grello" car paid off handsomely.

Paddock Legends is proud to be a partner of Manthey EMA, providing racing apparel and marketing their merchandise items, including the Champion shirts, as part of this success story.
