Stewards' decision No 16 from Friday's qualifying session at the Slovakia Ring has nullified the grid position of car number 14 in Friday's second qualifying session. In the technical control, it was discovered that an infringement of Article 30.1b of the sporting regulations of the ADAC GT Masters had taken place: instead of the required 2kg fuel load, the scrutineers were only able to measure 925 grams in the Ford GT's tank. Consequently, Dominik Schwager loses P5 and has to start the race from last position.

Also hit with a grid penalty for Race 1 was Florian Stoll (MS RACING) who overtook another car under red flag conditions. Instead of starting from P10, the number 1 Audi R8 LMS is demoted to 20th on the grid for Saturday's race.

Alfred Renauer (#9 Tonino powered by Herberth Motorsport) has been stripped of his best lap time in Q2 following a breach of Article 23.7 of the sporting regulations. The Porsche driver was seen to be driving in the fast lane before the pit exit light had turned green. The cancellation of the lap time has no effect on Renauer's starting position.
