• Super Sports Car League and cleaning equipment manufacturer strong together
• Kärcher and the ADAC have been partners since 2012

Hockenheim: Kärcher and the ADAC GT Masters are set to continue their successful partnership in the long term. Even before the 2017 ADAC GT Masters season has ended, the world’s leading supplier of cleaning equipment and the Super Sports Car League have already signed an agreement to continue to work together. Kärcher’s famous yellow-black logo will continue to be seen in the pit lane and in the paddock in the future, and the successful family-owned business based in Winnenden, Baden-Wuerttemberg, will go on displaying its products in the paddock. The partnership between Kärcher and the ADAC GT Masters was first set up in 2012.
