Race calendar and results edit

The provisional calendar was released on 8 November 2020. Initially, all rounds were to support the 2021 ADAC GT Masters.[25] The updated version was published on 6 December 2020.[26] Other tweaks in the calendar in order to avoid clashes with the Italian counterpart, including moving forward the opening round to 24–25 April, were announced on 3 March 2021. Additionally, the first of two rounds in Hockenheim will be held separately from ADAC GT Masters.[27] Due to the pandemic, the round at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben was postponed to 25–27 June and removed from the calendar eventually.[28][29] The round at Nürburgring planned in early August was postponed after massive flooding in Germany. The new date was set to 5–7 November, making its the series finale.[30][31][32]
