Paddock radar from the ADAC GT Masters at Most

• New team representatives elected
• Special victory for Stefan and Peter Mücke
• Rally ace Dominik Dinkel at the ADAC GT Masters

Historic success: The maiden ADAC GT Masters win for Stefan Mücke (36, GER, BWT Mücke Motorsport) in Saturday's race was his first as a driver for the racing team led by his father Peter since the season finale of the 2001 German Formula 3 Championship at Hockenheim. "I even had the same engineer - Peter Flückinger - on that occasion," says Mücke. But for Peter Mücke (71, GER) too, the victory in the Czech premiere of the Super Sports Cars League was also a special achievement: "I have great memories of Most. Exactly 40 years ago, I drove a Zastava on the old racetrack here in the Peace and Friendship Cup and beat the factory Skoda."

Popular photo angle: Just like at the Nürburgring, a fortress towers above the racetrack at Most. The photographers were therefore keen to include the hill with Hnevin Castle on top as a backdrop to their action shots. On Friday evening, the owners and operators of Autodrom Most invited officials of the racing series and members of the teams to a social function in the 12th-century castle.

New election: At the team manager meeting in Most, Charly Lamm from BMW Team Schnitzer and Klaus Graf from KÜS Team75 Bernhard were elected as new team representatives. Lamm and Graf represent the interests of the participating teams on the ADAC GT Committee which oversees sporting, technical and regulatory aspects of the ADAC GT Masters.

Rally visit: Dominik Dinkel (25, GER), title contender in the German Rally Championship (DRM), paid a visit to the ADAC GT Masters premiere at Most. Last year's DRM championship runner-up was there to support Lamborghini driver Christian Engelhart (31, GER, GRT Grasser Racing Team). Both have the same sponsor. Dinkel has his next competitive outing on the coming weekend when the ADAC Rallye ('Rund um die Sulinger Bärenklaue') is contested as Round 2 of the DRM.

Precautionary measure: After the Porsche 911 GT3 R of Precote Herberth Motorsport was badly damaged during testing on Thursday, the team had a replacement vehicle brought in from their base in Jedenhofen 350 kilometres away. In fact, they were able to get the number 99 car repaired in time for Saturday, so the replacement Porsche was not used after all.

Reunion: Another visitor to the race weekend at Most was sports car veteran and former ADAC GT Masters driver Andrea Piccini (39, ITA). Piccini has been coaching fellow Italian Michele Beretta (23, ITA, Team Rosberg) for a number of years now. Former ADAC GT Masters driver Freddy Kremer (57, CH) was competing in a Porsche Cayman on the Super Sports Car League weekend at Most, albeit in the GT4 Central European Cup which was contested as part of the support programme. During his ADAC GT Masters career, Kremer drove in 44 races for Ferrari.
