Ricardo Feller

Ricardo Feller, born on 1 June 2000 in Aarau, Switzerland, began his motorsport career in karting in 2011 and finished runner-up in the Swiss karting championship a year later. In 2016 he joined Mücke Motorsport’s Formula 4 team and worked his way through the ADAC Formula 4 championship towards GT3 racing. In 2021 Feller, alongside Christopher Mies in an Audi R8, won the overall ADAC GT Masters title, one of Europe’s most prestigious GT3 championships.

As an Audi factory driver with Abt Sportsline, Feller entered the DTM in 2022 and was immediately among the front-runners, finishing third overall in 2023. Over four seasons with Abt, the driver from Aargau collected three race wins and seven podiums. When Audi scaled back its factory commitment as part of its move into Formula 1 with Sauber, Feller’s future briefly looked uncertain in 2024; in 2025 he ultimately raced privately with the Land Motorsport Audi and won at Spielberg.

Since 2025 Feller has been a Porsche contract driver and made his debut for Manthey EMA at the 24 Hours of Daytona in January 2026 in the Grello Porsche. For the 2026 DTM season he moves permanently to Manthey EMA as the successor to outgoing champion Ayhancan Güven, driving a Porsche 911 GT3 R in the series for the first time after four years behind the wheel of an Audi.

It is already the Swiss driver’s fifth DTM season. Alongside the consistency of racing next to teammate Thomas Preining, he is particularly drawn to the professional environment at Manthey, whose record of two championship titles in the past three DTM years speaks for itself.
