Flying visit: Two racing legends, Klaus Ludwig and Leopold von Bayern, paid a flying visit to the Lausitzring Motorsport Festival. Ludwig also used to line up in the ADAC GT Masters during his successful career and won three races in 2008. His son Luca Ludwig (27, DEU, Mercedes-AMG Team ZAKSPEED) has contested the Super Sports Car League since 2009 and finished second in Saturday’s race.

On a double mission: ADAC GT Masters drivers Michael Ammermüller (31, DEU, KÜS Team75 Bernhard) and Christian Engelhart (30, DEU, GRT Grasser Racing Team) have got plenty to do this weekend. Ammermüller and Engelhart are also competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany at the Lausitzring Motorsport Festival – and with some success. In the first race, Engelhart finished second in front of Ammermüller and even won on Sunday. Kelvin van der Linde (20, ZA, Aust Motorsport), the 2014 ADAC GT Masters champion, is driving the Audi DTM race taxi at the Lausitzring.
