The focus as far as the Super Sports Car League is concerned is on an attractive, very promising series which enjoys a high profile among the automotive sports fraternity thanks to the many spectacular GT3 vehicles. Our audience just loves the variety of different marques and the visually exciting racing experience with its amazing sounds - that is reflected in the growing numbers of viewers tuning in, which in turn, is also helped by our editorial format, by the very attractive broadcasting venues and the 360° coverage that we provide."

ADAC Managing Director Lars Soutschka: "We have successfully grown the ADAC GT Masters with the help of SPORT1. We are delighted that our successful cooperation is set to continue over the next three years.
