ADAC GT Masters commemorates the memory of Alfred Herberth: On Friday, a week before the ADAC Masters Weekend at the Nürburgring, Porsche team boss Alfred Herberth died in a motorbike accident aged 55.

Many people at the Nürburgring wore special stickers bearing the tribute: “In memory of our ‘Fredl’ Herberth, a true Bavarian”.

ADAC Motorwelt winners get a look behind the scenes: A special look behind the scenes of the ADAC Masters Weekend was given to three ADAC members who won some ‘hands-on’ training at the Nürburgring weekend in a raffle organised by ADAC Motorwelt.

‘Punchy’ support for Frentzen: Corvette driver Heinz-Harald Frentzen gets some powerful backing in Sunday’s second race.
