Season 19 of the ADAC GT Masters featured six events, held in the sprint and endurance format, at three circuits in Germany, two in Austria and one in the Netherlands. A total of 536 laps of racing (2162 kilometres) were completed.

47 drivers from 16 countries and four continents went racing in the 2025 ADAC GT Masters. They lined up for 16 different teams, who ran cars from eight different manufacturers: Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Lamborghini, McLaren, Mercedes and Porsche. Carrie Schreiner was the only female driver last season, and the 13th woman to race in the ADAC GT Masters.

The most successful drivers and manufacturers

Seven pairs of drivers claimed race wins, with the most successful being Finn Wiebelhaus and Salman Owega. The 2025 champions won three races, followed by championship runners-up Leyton Fourie and Tim Zimmermann, Simon Birch and Leo Pichler, and Denis Bulatov and Nico Hantke, who each ended the season with two race wins to their name.

The most successful manufacturer, with three victories and a further seven podiums, was Ford. Porsche also won three races and made it onto the podium four times. Six different manufacturers were victorious in 2025.

Pole positions and fastest laps

The lead was constantly changing hands in qualifying. Ten different drivers each secured one pole position. Only Wiebelhaus and Finn Zulauf finished top of the timing sheet on two occasions. Six manufacturers started from pole position. Ford was to be found at the front of the grid the most often thanks to five fastest times in qualifying. First place on the grid was occupied by a rookie in six races. Nine drivers claimed their maiden pole position in the 2025 season.

Fach set three fastest laps, followed by Wiebelhaus, Fourie and Jannes Fittje with two each. Porsche led the way among the manufacturers with four fastest laps, while five different manufacturers each set the fastest lap once.

Podiums aplenty

Haupt Racing Team claimed the most podium results with ten to its name. Next up was FK Performance Motorsport with five top-three finishes. Third place in this regard went to Razoon and Scherer Sport PHX, who each featured on the podium four times. These results were reflected in the manufacturers, with Ford leading the way with ten podiums, followed by BMW with eight and Porsche with seven.

Youth meets records and experience

The youngest podium of the season came after race two at the Red Bull Ring. The pairings of Owega and Wiebelhaus, Sandro and Juliano Holzem, and Birch and Pichler produced an average age of 20 years, nine months and nine days.

Last season’s youngest driver was Storm Gjerdrum at 16 years, one month and 22 days.

At the age of just 20 years and 134 days, Owega became the youngest two-time champion in the history of the ADAC GT Masters.

The most experienced driver in 2025 was Alfred Renauer. Following his guest start at the Salzburgring, he now has 74 ADAC GT Masters races to his name. He is followed closely by Fittje with 70 and Zimmermann with 68 races in the series.

In the Pro-AM Cup, Fach and Schwarzer won seven races on their way to being crowned champions for the second time.

Sensations and a race against the clock

The Razoon pairing of Pichler and Birch made history, picking up 50 points at the first race weekend of the year. Never before had a new team won both the opening races of an ADAC GT Masters season.

Nine days for Scherer Sport PHX. After a crash during testing at the Salzburgring, the team had to take its demolished car back to Meuspath on the Friday morning, where it was rebuilt over the course of the weekend, before being transported to the Red Bull Ring on the Monday. It was worth the huge effort: Hantke and Bulatov won race one. This was the first victory for Scherer Sport PHX in the ADAC GT Masters, and the first in the history of the series for Audi at the Red Bull Ring.
