First-time winner: Patric Niederhauser and HCB-Rutronik Racing both scored a maiden ADAC GT Masters win on Saturday at Autodrom Most. The 27-year-old from Switzerland has thus become the 116th contestant in the history of the series to win a race and HCB-Rutronik the 40th team.

First-time pole-sitters: Neither of the two drivers who booked P1 in qualifying had ever started a race in the Super Sports Car League from the very front before. On Saturday, it was the Audi driver Niederhauser, who at the same time claimed a maiden pole for HCB-Rutronik Racing. On Sunday, it was the turn of Franck Perera in the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo of Orange1 by GRT Grasser to set the fastest time in quali. The first four races of the season have now generated four different pole-sitters.

Speed unrewarded: "Fast, but no cigar" just about sums up the race weekend for MRS GT Racing at Autodrom Most. Nicolai Sylvest and Jens Klingmann driving the BMW M6 GT3 entered by the outfit based in Lonsee north of Ulm booked P6 in Saturday's quali and P7 on Sunday. But in the first race, the duo had to retire as early as the first lap after being involved in a collision, and on Sunday, they were looking good in third place when a fuel pump problem dropped them way back down the field with only a few laps to go. To compound their woes, they were hit with a retrospective 30-second penalty for a breach of the regulations on their pit stop. "The good thing about the weekend was that we were competitive," said a team spokesperson. "We'll be back at the Red Bull."

End of two losing streaks: Max Hofer has had to wait more than a year for a second podium in the ADAC GT Masters since his victory in the 2018 season opener. The young Austrian partnered by Christopher Mies in the Audi R8 LMS of Montaplast by Land-Motorsport achieved a second ADAC GT Masters Top Three finish on Saturday at Autodrom Most. The lean spell had lasted even longer for Sven Barth and RWT Racing. Their last podium appearance had come as runners-up at Spielberg in the 2017 campaign. Barth and newcomer David Jahn at last got the team back into the Top Three on Sunday at Autodrom Most.

First-ever points finish (1): Series newcomer Carrie Schreiner, who is also the only woman driver in the current line-up, scored her first ADAC GT Masters championship point on Sunday, with the able assistance of Dennis Marschall in an HCB-Rutronik Racing Audi. From 30th on the grid, the duo made steady progress through the field to finish 15th. "After the crash at the first corner on Saturday, the team worked through the night to repair the car, so the result comes as a nice reward," said Schreiner. "We had not been expecting this result, especially as it is so hard to overtake on the Most track. We also benefited from mistakes made by other drivers, but Dennis did a good job in the second half of the race and gained quite a few positions. This result has been an important step in the right direction. But I still have a lot to learn. The ADAC GT Masters is a tough series."

First-ever points finish (2): After a frustrating debut weekend at Oschersleben, Propeak Performance scored their first championship points with a P10 finish on Saturday for Daniel Keilwitz and Maxime Martin in the new Aston Martin Vantage GT3. "The tenth place on Saturday was a pleasing result," said former champion Keilwitz. "However, the focus remains unchanged on improving our performance in qualifying so that we start from further forward on the grid. In any case, our pace in the Saturday race was OK. On Sunday we tried something new which unfortunately didn't work."

Visitor from Saxony: Uwe Geipel, whose YACO Racing team contested the ADAC GT Masters from 2012 to 2018 and won two races during that period, stopped by at Autodrom Most. "We are working towards returning in 2020 with a new team setup," said Geipel.

Run of bad luck for Zakspeed duo: Mick Wishofer and Kelvin Snoeks missed the Sunday race at Autodrom Most, just as they had at Oschersleben. In the season opener, their Mercedes-AMG GT3 sustained damage from the high kerbs; on Saturday at Most, it was damage to the fan belt caused by gravel which made the engine overheat. The consequences were noticed a day later in the second qualifying session, which led to the car being withdrawn from the race. The Austrian-Dutch duo were once again relegated to the role of spectators for the Sunday race. "The damage to the car driven by Kelvin and Mick is obviously annoying," said team boss Peter Zakowski. "But unfortunately, there's nothing to be done about it."
