The ADAC GT4 Germany field continues to grow: this season, Cosy Racing by ESM will take its place on the starting grid with the Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 Evo. When it comes to the two drivers, the team has opted for a wealth of GT4 experience, with Jan Philipp Springob and last year’s runner-up in the series, Philipp Gogollok. There is no lack of ambition, with the team looking to challenge for the ADAC GT4 Germany title. The season opener takes place from 24th to 26th April at the Red Bull Ring, where the first valuable points will be up for grabs on the high-profile DTM platform.

Springob is entering his second season with the team and will be contesting his seventh season in the ADAC series. In Gogollok, he is joined by a driver who has also enjoyed great success in the championship. The 20-year-old was in contention for the title last year, but eventually had to settle for second place. Springob is delighted with his new team-mate: “We have assembled a very good driver pairing in Philipp and me. We have both known each other for a long time and get on very well, which is key to working together successfully. Philipp also knows our team from the past, so it won’t take him any time to settle in.” Gogollok also sees many positives in the new pairing: “We have known each other for six years from our time in karting, and have also spent many hours together in the simulator since then. As such, we are both looking forward to the season. We want to show what we are capable of, but also to have fun, both on and off the track.”

The Cosy Racing by ESM team will contest its first full ADAC GT4 Germany season in 2026. The Aston Martin outfit made its debut in 2025, impressing with pole positions, a podium and class victories in the Rookie competition. This season, the goal is to win the title: “We come into the season with the ambitious goal of winning the title! We know it is not going to be easy, but we have put together an awesome package for this season,” says Springob. His team-mate is of the same opinion: “With this package, it goes without saying that we want to attack and have a big say when the trophies are presented in Hockenheim at the end of the season.”
