GRT GRASSER RACING TEAM SHOW FIGHTING SPIRIT AT THE LAUSITZRING

GRT Grasser Racing Team travelled to Brandenburg for the penultimate weekend of the 2020 ADAC GT Masters.

There was one slight difference between this event and the season opener in July/August, as the 4,534-metre track variant was used this time. For the Austrian outfit, however, the return to the venue did not bring the hoped-for success, with only one Top Ten finish to show for their endeavours.
