SPORTSCAR

A superb performance in front of packed stands in Oschersleben: after a dominant display, reigning champion Ricardo Feller (21/CH) and Jusuf Owega (20/Cologne) won the first race in the German GT Championship with the #29 Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II. The Audi duo also marked a first: the pair won the first race in Germany to take place with eco-friendly fuel. This year, all supercars in the ADAC GT Masters will be running on fuel developed specially by Shell, using 50% sustainable components. In perfect, sunny conditions, Lamborghini works drivers Franck Perera (38/F) and Arthur Rougier (22/F) from Emil Frey Racing finished behind them in second place. Joel Sturm (20/Brühl) and Sven Müller (30/Bingen) from Allied-Racing claimed third position in the #22 Porsche 911 GT3 R. Jusuf Owega celebrated his first ADAC GT Masters win and also topped the Pirelli Junior standings: “The team provide me with a rocket. All I had to do was get in and put my foot down.”

Here we go! After the shortest winter break so far, the ADAC GT Masters returns to action from 22nd to 24th April at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben near Magdeburg. The high-class field of super sports cars in the German GT Masters will kick off season 16 with a premiere: The ADAC GT Masters will be the first German racing series to use an environmentally-friendly fuel in the 600-hp cars from five different manufacturers. In doing so, the ADAC GT Masters is taking on a pioneering role.
