Kiwi Jaxon Evans and Tim Zimmerman from Germany took victory at the end of an action-packed opening race of the ADAC GT Masters at the Hockenheimring. The Porsche duo presented team principal Christoph Huber with his first success on the team’s debut in the series, and also earned the maiden victory for the 911 GT3 R from the 992 series on its first outing in the ADAC GT Masters.
Evans was beaming in the post-race interview: “I am overjoyed to be able to celebrate our first victory in the ADAC GT Masters. The closing stages were very wild and dominated by a lot of battles. The decisive overtaking manoeuvre allowed me to leave all that behind me and take the win.
“Tim did a great job of preparing the groundwork and looking after the tyres, which meant I was still able to go on the attack at the end of the race.”
Eduardo Coseteng (Philippines) and Ben Green (Great Britain/both Schubert Motorsport) in the BMW M4 GT3 and Jannes Fittje/Nico Menzel (both Huber Motorsport) in another Porsche 911 GT3 R completed the podium.
Evans and Zimmerman finished fifth in Sunday’s second race and now lead the championship heading to the next round 7-9 July at Norisring, Germany.
