Victory and the title for Felix Hirsiger and Finn Zulauf! The LIQUI MOLY Team Engstler duo have won the second round of the ADAC GT Masters at Hockenheim, thereby clinching the title in the long-established GT3 series. It is the first Lamborghini title in the ADAC GT Masters since 2010. The Engstler team had previously won the title in 2011 as the Alpina works team. The duo won the race in commanding fashion from pole position.

Tim Zimmermann and Leyton Fourie took second place in the FK Performance Motorsport BMW. The BMW duo were also beaten by the Engstler team in the championship and finished in second place.

Mark Kastelic and Pavel Lefterov, in the Porsche from razoon – more than racing, completed the podium.

After 13 minutes, Niklas Kalus, who was in second place, suffered a tie-rod failure before the hairpin and retired. A Full Course Yellow was declared to recover the Ford Mustang GT3.
