New racing series features on the support programme for the German GT Championship. Championship leader Marvin Dienst hoping to take another step towards the title. Tickets for the races at the DEKRA Lausitzring start at € 5.
The Prototype Cup Germany is features on the support programme for the German GT Championship for the first time: the new series is staging races five and six of the season at the DEKRA Lausitzring, where visitors to the Family & Friends Festival can look forward to seeing the spectacular Le Mans prototypes in action. There is plenty going on at the large facility in Brandenburg. As well as motorsport, the Family & Friends Festival also offers various different experience worlds for the whole family, with technological highlights, presentations, a glimpse behind the scenes at the DEKRA Lausitzring, and much more. Tickets start at € 5 and are available now at adac.de/motorsport. The races in the Prototype Cup Germany will be streamed live and free of charge at youtube.com/adacmotorsports, adac.de/motorsport and youtube.com/24hseries on Saturday and Sunday.
Marvin Dienst (25/Lampertheim, Toksport WRT) arrives in Lusatia with three wins to his name from the first four races of the season. Together with team-mate Berkay Besler (23/TUR), the Ligier JS P320 driver tops the championship table. “The big goal for the Lausitzring is obviously another two wins. We want to extend our lead in the championship and win the title come the end of the season,” says Dienst, who also starts in the ADAC GT Masters. “I really like the Lausitzring and have always done well there. I particularly like the first sector, with its many corners. That section reminds me of the Esses at Suzuka and has a very flowing and varied character. Driving there is particularly enjoyable.”
Another with the bit between his teeth is Donar Munding (20/Stuttgart, Mühlner Motorsport), who lies second in the table, alongside Matthias Lüthen (41/Hamburg). Munding also leads the Junior competition in the Prototype Cup Germany, while Lüthen is the man to catch in the Trophy competition. “You definitely look first and foremost at the overall standings, but the Junior competition is also very important to me,” says Munding. “I am very much looking forward to the Lausitzring and really want to get some good results there together with my team-mate in the Mühlner Motorsport Duqueine D08. Driving an LMP3 car at the Lausitzring is completely new territory for me. As such, it will be important to be fully focussed, right from the start of the race weekend. We want to finish on the podium in both races again, and to tighten our grip on second place in the table.”
A diverse field will start in the Prototype Cup Germany at the Lausitzring. In the Ligier JS P320, Duqueine D08 and Ginetta G61-LT-P3, three different LMP3 models line up on the grid. As at the Nürburgring, Konrad Motorsport again fields two Ginetta. Gebhardt Motorsport puts its faith in the same model. As well as Toksport WRT, Reiter Engineering also runs a Ligier. The Duqueine contingent at the Lausitzring consists of Racing Experience, Koiranen Kemppi Motorsport, Rinaldi Racing, Wochenspiegel Team Monschau, and Mühlner Motorsport.
