ADAC will introduce a new touring car series in 2016 – the ADAC TCR Germany. Following the successful launch of the TCR concept through the TCR International Series, ADAC TCR Germany will become one of the first series to implement the new concept at a national level.
The series will be organised and promoted jointly by Engstler Motorsport and ADAC e.V as part of the ADAC GT Masters events. It is also envisaged that SPORT1 will broadcast certain ADAC TCR events in Germany.
ADAC Sports President Hermann Tomczyk commented: “The new ADAC TCR Series fills a gap in German touring car racing. ADAC TCR Germany will make spectacular touring car racing possible at a reasonable cost and is the perfect addition to the ADAC GT Masters and ADAC Formula 4. We are confident that we can give touring car racing in Germany new dynamic with the ADAC TCR.”
Franz Engstler added: “I’m certain that ADAC TCR Germany is the right concept at the right time. The ADAC is the perfect partner and offers the series an ideal platform. I’m proud to be in a position to realise this project in cooperation with the ADAC and look forward to this fresh new challenge.”
Lars Soutschka, ADAC Director Motorsport and Classic Motoring said: “We have been very successful in introducing the ADAC Formula 4 this year, and we are now looking forward to getting a new, exciting project in German motorsport with ADAC TCR Germany, which will also form an ideal platform for young drivers to start a successful career in touring car racing. We will provide further information in the coming weeks, providing details about the race format and the calendar.”
