The first ADAC GT Masters champion is back in the Super Sports Car League. Christopher Haase, 2007 champion and two-time winner of the ADAC 24-Hours at the Nürburgring will race an Audi R8 LMS during the 2016 season for newcomers, CarCollection. Haase will share the cockpit with Dutch driver Christiaan Frankenhout. Haase and Frankenhout were previously team-mates in the ADAC GT Masters and already have experience of an Audi R8, contesting the 2010 season finale together.
