ADAC GT Masters this weekend: 13 drivers can still become champions!

03.11.2021

Grand finale at the Nürburgring: Who will take the title in the German GT Championship? When the ADAC GT Masters championship is decided at the Nürburgring (5 - 7 November), a whole 13 drivers still have a chance of winning the title. Spectators can look forward to two final races - one each on Saturday and Sunday. The day ticket is available from 22.50, children up to 12 years of age are admitted free of charge. Visit the ticket shop! Fans are free to choose their seats, and the paddock is again open to everyone. Access is open to those who have been vaccinated, recovered and tested. 

Audi, Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, Lamborghini: the title candidates for the German GT Championship are sitting in four different racing cars this weekend. Also, four points separate the leaders from their strongest rivals. As championship leader, Christopher Mies, together with Ricardo Feller in the Audi R8 LMS, has the best chance of winning the second title after 2016, while the duo behind them could provide a novelty: Mercedes-AMG drivers Luca Stolz and Maro Engel could become the first team to clinch the title without a single win. This is made possible by an amazing consistency and a total of six podium finishes. Porsche drivers Michael Ammermüller and Mathieu Jaminet follow in second place and are 17 points behind the championship leaders. An possible task with a total of 56 points still up for grabs this weekend. 25 points each for the race win and 3 points per pole position. 

Raffaele Marciello and Maximilian Buhk in the Mercedes-AMG have recently dropped points, but since the beginning of the season they have repeatedly underlined their ambitions as one of the strongest teams in the championship. A few points behind them lurks Lamborghini works driver Mirko Bortolotti. Other drivers have outside chances.  

Two sprint races (start: 15:30) over 60 minutes each are scheduled for the ADAC GT Masters finale. Two drivers will share one car. Spectacular driver changes during each race are therefore guaranteed. The race will be held on the Nürburgring Sprint Circuit, which is particularly spectator-friendly with its 3.629 kilometres and modern grandstands. 

Keyword grandstands: spectators are spoilt for choice at the ADAC GT Masters. Both the BMW M-Power grandstand (T3) and the Bilstein (T4) and Mercedes-AMG grandstands (T4a) are open. There is free choice of grandstand and seating. All three will have video screens and food and drink will be provided: Hardy REMAGEN racing sausage will be sizzling on the grill. 

It's also worth taking a look at the supporting programme - both on and off the track: with the TCR Germany, the ADAC Formula 4 and the GT4 Germany, three supporting series will be lining up for their final races alongside the GT Masters. A special highlight for fans: the Pitwalk. Here, spectators come into the pit lane and can look over the teams' shoulders as they work. The Pitwalk starts at 12:00 on Saturday and 12:55 on Sunday.
