The ADAC GT Masters, the International German GT Championship, is the "League of Super Sports Cars" and one of the world's leading series in GT racing. Around 30 sports cars with around 450 hp from seven different manufacturers will delight fans in the ADAC GT Masters.
In the ADAC GT Masters, two drivers share a car, and a driver change takes place in the middle of the 60-minute sprint race. The international field of drivers is made up of 30 drivers of FIA Silver Grade or above.
All super sports cars of the ADAC GT Masters start on tyres from exclusive partner Pirelli.
The 14 races will be broadcast live and in full length by NITRO on television.
The Aston Martin Vantage GT4 is the most popular GT4 car in the world. More than 100 cars have been made and are competing in race series across the globe.
This latest spec of car has a new aerodynamic package. An adjustable carbon fibre rear wing works in conjunction with a larger front splitter to increase downforce for greater dynamic performance.
