DTM partnership between R-Motorsport and HWA AG comes to an end

•    Joint DTM undertaking of R-Motorsport and HWA terminated

 •    Dr Florian Kamelger: “We will reorient ourselves for 2020 under these changed circumstances in coordination with Aston Martin.”



AF Racing AG announced today that their collaboration with HWA AG in the DTM will be terminated by mutual agreement with immediate effect.



At the end of the 2019 DTM season, AF Racing AG and HWA AG will be going their separate ways in motor racing. However, Aston Martin will continue to support R-Motorsport running the Vantage DTM race cars under licence in racing series governed by Class 1 regulations. A further statement can be expected in the near future about R-Motorsport’s racing commitments for next year.



Dr Florian Kamelger: “Regrettably, we have been unable to establish any consensus for further collaboration with HWA AG in regard to fulfilling our commitment to the DTM, so that the only option for us now is to terminate our partnership with HWA in the DTM and to focus on the future. Despite the termination of our collaboration with HWA, however, we still plan to continue our involvement in the DTM, and we will reorient ourselves in 2020 under these changed circumstances in coordination with Aston Martin.”




Dr Andy Palmer, President and Group CEO Aston Martin Lagonda: “Aston Martin will continue to be supportive of R-Motorsport's DTM programme with the Vatange DTM race car and their wider plans to compete in race series governed by Class 1 regulations, such as the Super GT in Japan and in Asia.”
