The ADAC GT Masters championship doesn’t get much attention here in the US but is similar in format to the GT World Challenge America series, with two sprint races per race weekend and a similar class structure. Half of the twelve races are in Germany, with the other six races in Holland, Belgium, and Austria.
FK Performance has competed in the ADAC GT Masters with BMW for the last two years. Though they didn’t win a championship in 2024, they did finish a strong second in the standings with drivers Maxime Oosten and Leon Köhler in their #54 M4 GT3 (shown above). The team also had a second M4 GT3 (#10) driven by Eduardo Coseteng and Gregory de Sybourg.
Maxime Oosten and Leon Köhler celebrate a win at Zandvoort.
Oosten and Köhler got off to a strong start, winning the opening round at Oschersleben. They went to score two more wins at Zandvoort in Holland and Spa in Belgium. In addition to the three wins, the pair had three additional podium finishes at the Nürburgring (Germany), the Red Bull Ring (Austria) and Hockenheim (Germany), and only finished out of the top five twice all season.
Despite their success, Oosten and Köhler still ended up second in the driver championship behind Mercedes-AMG driver Elias Seppãnen and Tom Kalender. FK Performance was also second in the team points. The #10 M4 GT3 of Coseteng and de Sybourg had a best finish of ninth at Zandvoort.
The team also competed with an M4 GT4 in ADAC GT4 Germany, a support series for the GT Masters. Drivers Leyton Fourie and Max Rosam finished fourth in points in the GT4 championship.
The 2025 ADAC GT Masters season opens on May 23rd-25th at the Lausitzring in Germany. There’s no word yet on whether FK Performance will return to the series in 2025.
