DTM and the ADAC GT4 Germany Series move onto the Red Bull Ring this weekend

Completing this weekend’s racing activity as far as Aston Martin Racing and its Partner and Customer teams are concerned is the joint venture between the DTM Series and the ADAC GT4 Germany Series as both venture across the border to the Red Bull Ring in Austrian for their latest rounds.

With the GT3 based DTM Series running their seventh round to their season this weekend whilst the GT4 Germany Series run only their fifth – both are running their penultimate rounds to the season with familiar faces again returning in each.

Gilles Magnus and Nicolas Baert go again within the DTM Series with their #7 and #8 Comtoyou Racing AMR Vantage GT3’s respectively. Debuting within this season for the first time either as drivers or as the team, 2025 has certainly been a very trying season for of aspiration and disappointment as the crews younger years sometimes gets the better of them or with just the Vantage GT3 not getting the Balance of performance it perhaps deserves.

Most recent rounds have certainly seen better performances in qualifying only for the results of each hour-long race falling short of that generated expectation. Either way, the team has already suggested that they will be back for more in 2026.

Then, within the GT4 Germany Series, we again have the now three established runners from both the full season entered Prosport Racing team with their older 17A variant of the Vantage T4 and the recently entered Eastside Motorsport crew with their newer Vantage GT4 Evo.

Again, 2025 started reasonably well for the Marek Bockmann and Anton Abee aboard the green liveried #19 car with former series champion Hugo Sasse and Roman Fellner-Feldegg doing likewise aboard their #17 car. Recent rounds, however, have seen both crews struggle with consistency and have fallen away from the championship battle as a result.

Then we saw the return of the Eastside Motorsport team to the series with their new driver line up of Jan Philipp Springob and Storm Gjerdrum where the young Norwegian Gjerdrum secured a Rookie podium finish first time out at the Nurburgring before Springob grabbed an overall pole position last time out at the Sachsenring.

These three crews and the further nineteen entries will again race a two – one hour race programme over the weekend.
