ADAC GT Masters confirms Nürburgring date

• Super Sport Cars to compete in the Eifel on first weekend in August
• Test and Media Day at Oschersleben as prelude to season

The Nürburgring will once again be hosting the ADAC GT Masters during the 2013 season. The weekend of 2nd - 4th August at the legendary circuit in the Eifel region has now been confirmed for the Super Sports Car League. The event will mark the halfway point in the ADAC GT Masters season, by which time the leading title contenders will have begun to emerge. August and September are the two most decisive months in the campaign, with no fewer than five race weekends being staged. It will be a very full programme, with all of the support series - Formel ADAC, ATS Formel-3-Cup, ADAC PROCAR and the MINI TROPHY - sharing the bill.

To ensure that the ADAC GT Masters teams are optimally prepared for the new season, there will be two official test days during the run-up period. On 9th and 10th April, all the teams that have registered for the ADAC GT Masters will be testing their cars at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben. 9th April has been designated as the official press day, when representatives of the media will have the opportunity to find out all about the teams and what the new season has in store.
