Ex-F1 driver Glock in DTM comeback talks with McLaren team

Motorsport.com’s sister website Motorsport-Total.com understands that efforts are being made to help the five-time DTM race winner secure a comeback in 2024 after a two-year absence.

Glock’s former manager Hans-Bernd Kamps, who is co-founder of the Project 1 team, is understood to be behind the plan for the 41-year-old to drive a McLaren 720S GT3 in the series.

Glock last raced full-time in the DTM in the first year of its GT3 rulebook in 2021, before making a wildcard appearance the following season at Imola at the wheel of the new BMW M4 GT3. 

The German driver has since been focusing on his Formula 1 TV commitments with Sky Germany, but remains an immensely popular figure in the DTM thanks to a successful stint with the factory BMW team during the Class 1 era of the championship.

The ex-F1 driver did not deny talks about a DTM comeback when quizzed about the prospects of returning to the series by Motorsport-Total.com

"We have spread out our network and are looking at what options there are and what is feasible," he said. "That's the topic at the moment.

"If something comes up through my contacts, I'd be happy to. And if it goes through Project 1 or [McLaren car dealer] Dorr, then so be it.”
