Victory in the first run at the Red Bull Ring
6th place and important points in the Sunday race
Leader in the team and driver standings

Race 1

After the foundation for a successful weekend had already been laid in the free practice sessions, the race started on Saturday from fourth position on the grid. Michael Ammermüller was able to work his way up until the pit stop and handed over the Porsche 911 GT3 R to Mathieu Jaminet in second place. The French took the lead with thrilling overtaking maneuvers. Shortly before the end of the race, a safety car phase made it exciting again. But here, too, Jaminet set himself apart from his competitors and finally crossed the finish line of the Red Bull Ring as an outstanding winner. The defending champions from Munich took the second race win of the season.

Race 2

In the Sunday race of the German GT Championship, which was characterized by numerous safety car phases and a race interruption at the beginning, SSR Performance was able to finish the run in sixth place. The result was particularly important for the team and driver standings, as this was how the championship lead was defended.

SSR Performance young talent Laurin Heinrich emerged as the shining winner of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany competition on Sunday.

The third ADAC GT Masters weekend will take place from July 9th to 11th in Zandvoort, the Netherlands.

Wolfgang Hatz, Team Principal SSR Performance

“It was a very successful weekend at the Red Bull Ring. Yesterday the victory and today P6 - that is an excellent record and a terrific weekend on which we were able to extend our lead in the championship."

Stefan Schlund, team owner SSR Performance

“When you leave the ring as the leader in the championship after the third and fourth races the weekend was phenomenal. It can go on like this! We did a good job, but there is still a long season ahead of us. We have to keep our focus on the end goal and not make any mistakes.”

Michael Ammermüller, SSR Performance driver

“I am very happy with the weekend. By winning the first and sixth place in the second race, we were able to score a lot of points. The track is not easy for our car, so we actually didn't expect these placings at all. In the second run there might have been a bit more, but with the weight disadvantage that we had, it's a positive result.”

Mathieu Jaminet, SSR Performance driver

„I’m a little bit disappointed with P6 in race two. It wasn’t the result we hoped for starting from P5. We had a good pace but struggled with the weight in the car. We are still leading the championship and secured important points, so everything is okay.”
