Kim-Luis Schramm has joined Attempto Racing’s Pro lineup for the final two rounds of the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS Endurance Cup season.

The German driver replaces Juuso Puhakka, who has parted ways with the team, in the No. 66 Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II.

Schramm will share the wheel with Audi Sport factory drivers Markus Winkelhock and Dennis Marschall.

Schramm was a late addition to Attempto’s crew for this weekend’s three-hour race at Hockenheim, while team boss Arkin Aka confirmed to Sportscar365 that he will remain on board for the season finale at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in early October.

25-year-old Schramm shares a Rutronik Racing Audi with Marschall in ADAC GT Masters and was part of Scherer Sport Team Phoenix’s lineup that finished fifth at the Nürburgring 24, with Winkelhock as one of his co-drivers.

Attempto’s driver switch for the remaining GTWC Europe Endurance Cup rounds signifies the second lineup change for the No. 66 Audi in as many long-distance events.

Audi factory driver Ricardo Feller was brought in for the TotalEnergies 24 Hours of Spa to coincide with Audi Sport selecting the German squad’s No. 66 car for extra support.

Feller, Winkelhock and Marschall finished 12th overall as the highest-placed Audi crew, while Puhakka moved across to the No. 99 Silver Cup Audi which took second in class.
