The reigning champion is also at the top of the field in the team category.
This position is to be built on from June 11th to 13th in Styria. For the first time, fans are again allowed on the 4,318 km long route. Even if only in smaller numbers, SSR Performance is happy about the support on site.

The Munich team will also be supported by the EDAG Group, Becker Carbon, Riemensperger Mechanische Werkstätte GmbH, Hochwald Sprudel, Cruisefire, Sonic Tools and KW Suspensions in 2021.
Stefan Schlund, Team Owner SSR Performance: “I hope to be able to earn as many points as possible. The Red Bull Ring is definitely a challenge for the Porsche, but I’m confident for the second race weekend of the season.”
Michael Cap, Head of Motorsports: “The whole team is looking forward to the race weekend at the Red Bull Ring, to which we are traveling as the current championship leader. For us as Munich residents, it’s almost like a small home Grand Prix. After the successful start of the season in Oschersleben, we are now well prepared for the second round of the ADAC GT Masters 2021 and will do everything we can to race at the very front!”
Wolfgang Hatz, Team Principal SSR Performance: “After the successful start of the season we will race at the Red Bull Ring with an additional weight of 20 kg. We are therefore not in the role of favorites in Austria. We will still fight for our championship lead with good positions.”
