Enrico Förderer and Jay Mo Härtling travel to Hockenheim as championship leaders. Gabriele Piana and Berkay Besler have already won an ADAC Motorsport title. The title race is still open in all classifications.
ADAC GT4 Germany is set for a thrilling title showdown at the final round of the season, which takes place at the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg from 3rd to 5th October. There is one theme running through the finale: rookies versus seasoned campaigners. Enrico Förderer (18/Leuterod) and Jay Mo Härtling (22/Sprockhövel, both SR Motorsport by Schnitzelalm) made their ADAC GT4 Germany debut in 2025 and have topped the table since the season opener. Their closest rivals are the experienced BMW M4 GT4 pairing of Gabriele Piana (39/ITA) and Berkay Besler (25/TUR, both FK Performance Motorsport). Tickets for Hockenheim start at € 49 and are available at dtm.com. The ADAC GT4 Germany action will be streamed live at adac.de/motorsport, ServusTV On, Joyn, sport1.de and youtube.com/adacmotorsports. The races start at 17:20 on Saturday and the earlier time of 16:45 on Sunday. TV station Sky Sport Mix will also show multiple full replays of the races.
Förderer and Härtling have won four races so far in their Mercedes-AMG GT4 and lead the championship with 161 points. Theoretically, they could wrap up the title in Saturday’s race. “I am hugely looking forward to Hockenheim – and not only because we travel there with a big lead. It goes without saying that a lot can still happen, but we are well placed and the team has done an outstanding job all season. The title is the goal,” says a determined Förderer. “Our car should be particularly strong in the tight last sector in Hockenheim.”
Their biggest threat comes from Piana and Besler, who have already won a title on the ADAC platform. Arriving at the Hockenheimring with a 20-point deficit, they absolutely must finish among the front-runners in both races. “We will give it everything we have to win the title in Hockenheim,” says Besler. “We will not be looking at the points at first, but will simply be trying to win both races. Then we will see whether that is good enough. I really like Hockenheim. The hairpin at the end of the long straight, in particular, is excellent.”
With 50 points still up for grabs, two Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 duos still have a chance of clinching the title. Hendrik Still (38/Kempenich) and Philipp Gogollok (19/Bad Homburg, both AVIA W&S Motorsport) trail the leaders by 34 points. Fellow Porsche racers Raphael Rennhofer (18/AUT) and Emil Heyerdahl (23/NOR, both Wimmer Werk Motorsport) must make up 36 points to reel in Förderer and Härtling. It promises to be a thrilling title race, which looks set to go right down to the wire.
The destination of the title is also still unknown in all the other classifications. In the Junior competition, Förderer and Härtling lead Rennhofer and Heyerdahl by 38 points. Gogollok lies third, 42 points off the lead. In the Rookie class, Cedric Fuchs (19/Holzappel, SR Motorsport by Schnitzelalm) travels to Hockenheim with a healthy lead and could wrap up the title as early as Saturday. The Team competition has come down to a three-way battle between AVIA W&S Motorsport, FK Performance Motorsport and SR Motorsport by Schnitzelalm.
The familiar ADAC GT4 Germany field will be joined by a guest starter in Hockenheim. FK Performance Motorsport will run a fourth BMW for the Dutch pairing of Gianni van de Craats (20) and Valentijn Greven (18). Van de Craats raced in ADAC GT4 Germany in 2024, while his compatriot Greven will be making his debut in the series.
