Race 1

After a close qualifying session on Saturday, Mathieu Jaminet started the race from the third row. With a strong performance by the factory driver at the start and collisions between rivals in the first corner, the Frenchman was able to hand over the #92 to Michael Ammermüller in third position. The perfect strategy for the pit stop ensured another success in the second half of the race. The veteran crossed the finish line in the Eifel in second position and thus maintained his chance for the title with a gap of 25 points. The three-way battle for the German GT Championship was not to be decided until Sunday.

Race 2

Thick fog and drizzle caused a delayed start to the final qualifying of the season on Sunday. Michael Ammermüller made the best possible use of the conditions and drove the 911 to the second starting position. Already at the beginning of the race, a few clashes led to the red flag and after a short break the restart took place behind the safety car. After the driver change, Mathieu Jaminet took the lead and confidently steered the #92 to the final victory of the season.

The battle for the championship couldn't have been closer. In the end, only four points separated SSR Performance from defending the title. Michael Ammermüller and Mathieu Jaminet are thus the ADAC GT Masters vice-champions in 2021. Thanks to their strong performance, the Munich team can also celebrate the vice-title in the team classification.

Wolfgang Hatz, Team Principal SSR Performance

“Top performance this the weekend! First second and then the final victory, that is an excellent performance by the team. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough for the title, but the gap was damn small. We have to acknowledge that Land came out on top during the season. But I'm very proud of

the team's performance. We came here third in the championship and still almost managed to defend the title. That was an excellent team effort!“

Stefan Schlund, Team Owner SSR Performance

“We fought to the very last corner. Everyone in front of the screen was hoping that the Land Audi might fall a few places behind. We gave everything, got everything out of the Porsche 911. I'm so proud of the whole team! We scored 47 points this weekend - the highest result since we've been racing in the GT Masters. I don't feel like a loser, I feel like a winner. We can be very proud of the result. After some time, we will start planning for 2022 in order to get a powerful project off the ground again."

Michael Ammermüller, SSR Performance driver

"I'm very satisfied. We fought to the end and gave everything. In the end, unfortunately, it was just not enough. We had a great team with a great spirit - everyone worked together. So it's a shame that we didn't manage to defend the title. A big thank you to everyone - Stefan, who put this team together, the mechanics and engineers, to my colleague Mathieu. He had a very strong season and was a great addition to the team. We have to be very satisfied - we just had a little more bad luck than the others."

Mathieu Jaminet, SSR Performance driver

„Looking at this weekend, we couldn’t have done much more. 47 points have been the most points which have been scored by a car on one weekend, I think. We had a really good race on Sunday and a solid weekend overall. We finished the season on a high. Unfortunately, Land Motorsport also had a good weekend. We are just short of four points. That’s racing. We had a lot of highs but also a couple of lows and that kept us from the win. I’d like to thank the entire team for putting such a great program together!”
