Aitken will drive the #14 Ferrari 296 GT3 in the ADAC-owned category in 2024, with Max Verstappen-supported Thierry Vermeulen again taking the cockpit of the team’s second car.
The British driver will combine his DTM commitments with racing in the IMSA SportsCar Championship’s GTP class, having stepped up to a full-time seat at the Action Express Racing Cadillac team this year alongside Pipo Derani.
The 28-year-old had previously told Autosport in January that he was still in talks about continuing in the DTM, whose 2024 calendar features no clashes with his IMSA schedule.
“A second season of DTM is exciting,” said Aitken at the announcement. “I loved last year's series for how competitive and aggressive the racing can be.
“Our expectations are to fight more consistently at the front and to take more wins and pole positions.
“I think we have a bit more of an understanding with the Ferrari now than we did at the start of last year, so we can expect to be even stronger.”
Aitken, whose relationship with Emil Frey harks back to 2021 when the Swiss team was part of the Lamborghini’s fold, scored a podium on his DTM debut at Oschersleben last year before adding a maiden victory at the Lausitzring to his CV.
However he only finished 14th in the standings, a combination of him missing the Zandvoort races due to a clash with IMSA and inconsistent results on both sides of his Lausitzring win.
