ADAC GT Masters·1.9.2011

Home straight in the super sports car league

Ten races completed and six still to come: the super sportscar league, the ADAC GT Masters, has entered the home straight. Title fight nearly over? Not a chance. Ferdinand and Johannes, sons of racing legend Hans-Joachim 'Striezel' Stuck, have built up a lead going into the two races at the EuroSpeedway. However, at just seven points this is extremely tight as a win is worth 25 points. Hot on the heels of the duo driving a Reiter Engineering Lamborghini Gallardo LP600+ is the team of Alexandros Margaritis and Dino Lunardi (BMW Alpina B6 GT3).

The list of those also within striking distance reads like a 'Who's who' of renowned sports car manufacturers. Christopher Mies/Luca Ludwig drive an Audi R8 LMS from Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline like their team mates Christer Jöns/Jens Klingmann. Andreas Wirth/Christiaan Frankenhout share a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 close behind in ninth place. The Mühlner Motorsport team, which also enters a Porsche 911 GT3 R, has taken on reinforcements: Sean Edwards, Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland championship leader, competes at the Lausitzring for the team.
