Michael Bartels (born 8 March 1968 in Plettenberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany) is a German former racing driver, who competed in the DMSB Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters Championship between 2000 and 2002.[1] Better known as a multiple FIA GT Championship champion after his DTM career, Bartels would race as a factory driver for Opel in the DTM, claiming a best Championship finish of seventh.[1]
Having previously raced in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft for Alfa Romeo, Bartels was signed by Opel to join their revived DTM effort ahead of the 2000 season, and was placed alongside Manuel Reuter at Team Phoenix.[2] A podium at the season opening round in Hockenheim would be the highlight, with Bartels going on to become a regular point scorer en-route to seventh in the Championship.[3]
Bartels was moved to Team Holzer for the 2001 season, running on his own in their second team entry.[4] Yet, both he and the entire Opel outfit would struggle throughout the campaign, with the lone highlight being his maiden pole position at the 2001 Hockenheim Finale Qualifying Race, leaving him in eighteenth in the Championship.[5]
For 2002 Opel would place Bartels in the full factory Team Holzer entry, with the German racer partnering Timo Scheider for the season.[1] Yet, another difficult season would see Bartels secure just a single point for a podium finish in the 2002 Zolder Qualifying Race, putting him in fifteenth in the Championship.[6]
After the 2002 season Bartels would lose his DTM seat, and would instead spend 2003 racing in the rival V8Star Series.[7] A year later he would begin his successful FIA GT career, claiming the 2006, 2008 and 2009 Championships, as well as the 2010 GT1 World Championship crown.[7]
Background[]
Bartels began his career in karting, and would rise to become the German karting champion in 1985 to earn his maiden race car seat in 1986, joining the Formula Ford Germany.[7] An excellent rookie season saw the German racer win the 1600 class, resulting in him signing with Keke Rosberg to manage his career and a move to the full 2000 class for 1987.[7] Bartels would go on to claim third in the 1987 edition of FF Germany, while also making an appearance in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft.[7]
A German Hope: 1988 - 1991[]
Bartels moved into the German F3 Championship for 1988, finishing fifth with a single race victory.[7] A second season saw Bartels improve to fourth with three wins, just behind Karl Wendlinger, Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Michael Schumacher, while also running in select rounds of other F3 Championships in Europe.[7] As a result the German racer moved into the International F3000 Championship for 1990, although he would struggle to score in ten appearances.[7]
Regardless, Formula One entry Team Lotus would sign Bartels as a reserve driver for the 1991 season, and placed him in the car for four races when full-term driver Johnny Herbert was racing elsewhere.[7] Yet, Bartels failed to live up to his hope of being the first German World Champion, failing to qualify for any of his Grand Prix entries.[7] As a result Lotus would drop the German racer at the end of the season, with Bartels not picked up by any other teams for 1992.[7]
Rebuilding Reputations: 1992 - 1999[]
Bartels would enjoy a more fruitful International F3000 campaign in 1992, finishing fourth in the Championship having also completed a full season of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland.[7] 1993 saw the German racer slip back to eleventh in F3000, although he would claim second place at the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps.[7] That prompted Bartels to end his single seater career to take a seat in the Meisterschaft, joining one of the Alfa Romeo teams for 1994, finishing fifteenth.[7]
1995 saw Bartels claim his first Meisterschaft victories after a move to Euroteam, leaving him in tenth in the Championship.[7] He would remain in the series through its full transition into the International Touring Car Championship in 1996, although he would end that campaign down in twenty-first.[7] With the ITCC dissolved at the end of the 1996 season Bartels would move to the Super Tourenwagen Cup for 1997, claiming tenth.[7]
For 1998 Bartels would combine a STW campaign with a season in the FIA GT Championship, and would finish both outside of the top ten.[7] For 1999 the German racer would only focus on the STC, and duly improved to seventh in the Championship with a factory Opel seat.[7]
