Two new books will make the wait for the 2013 season a little more bearable: 'ADAC Motorsport 2012' is a revue of the diverse world of motor racing - professional to amateur level - that takes place under the aegis of the ADAC, while 'Sportwagen Story 2012' focuses heavily on the ADAC GT Masters series.

Whether ADAC Rallye Deutschland, the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring, the ADAC Truck Grand Prix or the ADAC Masters Weekend, 'ADAC Motorsport 2012' showcases from various angles the wide range of racing organised by the world's second-largest motoring association. 'ADAC Motorsport 2012' has 136 pages with over 150 photos covering virtually all ADAC racing series and motorsport events together with informative background information and spectacular action shots.

'Sportwagen Story' has established itself as a standard reference work for motorsport fans. The fifth edition of this popular annual once again takes a long, close look at the ADAC GT Masters. All the supercars competing in the series are presented in detail, and retrospective reports on each of the eight race weekends take up more than 60 of the book's 216 pages.

In addition to the ADAC GT Masters, 'Sportwagen Story 2012' also features the revived Sportscar World Championship, the FIA GT1 World Championship, the Blancpain Endurance Series, the ADAC Zurich 24-Hour Race at the Nürburgring and many other sports car series. The book is rounded off by a statistical section with all the results of the 2012 sports car season, so comprehensive that it leaves no questions unanswered.

'ADAC Motorsport 2012' can be purchased for 19.90 euros and 'Sportwagen Story 2012' for 24.90 euros from www.adrenalin-verlag.com (price includes postage and packaging within Germany).
