While the team has utilized the McLaren 720S GT3 Evo throughout the partnership, Rainer Dörr confirmed that staying loyal to the British manufacturer remains the primary goal for any future campaigns. The team values the extensive investment of time and money made into developing the current machinery.

Looking ahead to the upcoming racing calendar, Ben Dörr remains central to the squad's long-term ambitions as he aims to secure an official factory driver role with McLaren. Meanwhile, ongoing sponsorship discussions will dictate whether the team successfully finalizes its grid entry for the 2027 season.

Timo Glock Weighs Options as DTM Contract Nears End

Timo Glock faces an uncertain future with the Dörr team as his two-year contract approaches its expiration at the end of the current racing season. Following technical hurdles and a challenging campaign, an extension with the squad appears highly unlikely.

"If the opportunities arise, I am open to everything," said Timo Glock when discussing his racing future across various motorsport categories, including potential endurance racing and GT projects.

The 44-year-old veteran driver has expressed lingering interest in participating in major endurance events, such as the Nürburgring 24-hour race, where he previously competed alongside his teammates in a special McLaren livery.

As the DTM season reaches its conclusion, both Dörr and Glock are charting separate paths forward, with the team focusing on securing its grid presence for 2027 while Glock evaluates new competitive opportunities.
