Another mixed bag for the three Aston Martin runners in ADAC GT4 Germany
Sunday, August 24, 2025
Fortunately missing much of the rain that blighted the headlining DTM Series on Saturday, it was the #4 Eastside Motorsport AMR Vantage GT4 Evo of Jan Philipp Springob who took pole position for race one whilst the two Prosport Racing AMR entries of Roman Fellner-Feldegg was P7 in his #19 car whilst the #17 car of last time out pole setter Marek Bockmann was P10.
Springob held and maintained the lead through the opening laps and immediate Safety Car period to be able to hand the car over to co-driver Storm Gjerdrum with a to second lead. Initially extending that race lead to nearly six seconds, the young Norwegian was eventually caught and passed with just minutes to go to eventually finish third on track.
A post-race penalty for the #4 car for repeated contact with another on the final lap saw the #4 eventually be placed in fifth with the #17 car of Hugo Sasse in P10 and Anton Abee P18 in the #19 car.
Race two on Sunday went much the same was but this time had the #19 upon pole position and the #4 car a little further back in fourth and the #17 car in twelfth.
With Sasse holding the lead and Gjerdrum having to run very wide at times to maintain position, the #17 car of Abee was getting a lot of unwanted attention from other cars within the midst of the pack which saw cars make contact with the green Aston Martin.
Sasse soon lost the race lead and was down to fourth just ahead of the pit stop window as the #4 and #17 cars pitted early but the ESM’s day would again end early (like at the Nurburgring last time out) as technical issues brought their car to a standstill.
For the Prosport Racing contingent, race two also unfortunately fizzled out into another disappointing finish with the #19 eventually finishing P12 and the sister car P15.
Next stop will be the Red Bull Ring in mid-September.
