ADAC GT Masters·3.9.2021

German GT Championship up close and personal: Fans return to the paddock

Spectators allowed back in the paddock at the Lausitzring for the first time since 2019. Access in line with 3G regulations on Saturday and Sunday. Highlights for the fans: Meet the Drivers, pit walk and open pit lane.

Great news for fans of the German GT Championship: When the DEKRA Lausitzring hosts the ADAC GT Masters next week (10th to 12th September), the series will welcome spectators back to the paddock for the first time since the final round of the 2019 season. The implementation of 3G regulations allows the return of the popular meeting of fans and drivers on Saturday and Sunday at the circuit in Brandenburg.

“We are delighted that fans are permitted to visit the paddock again on both days at the DEKRA Lausitzring,” says ADAC Motorsport Director, Thomas Voss. “The fans are a fundamental part of the ADAC GT Masters – without them, something has been missing since 2020. They are integral to the series. Thanks to the hygiene concept, which has been coordinated with the authorities, they can now finally go behind the scenes again and check out the spectacular GT3 cars and their drivers up close and personal.”

For autograph hunters: Meet the Drivers

Spectators at the Lausitzring will have the opportunity to meet their favourite ADAC GT Masters drivers on Saturday morning at the Meet the Drivers event. The stars of the German GT Championship will be on hand to answer questions and sign plenty of autographs.

Another fan highlight returns to ADAC GT Masters weekends at the Lausitzring: the popular pit walk. Visitors can watch the teams at work in the pit lane for 30 minutes on both Saturday and Sunday.
