The Prototype Cup Germany was a sports car racing series based in Germany, organized by ADAC and Creventic between 2022 and 2025.
History
The inaugural season of the Prototype Cup Germany was announced on December 22, 2021, with four race weekends confirmed at Spa-Francorchamps, Nürburgring, Lausitzring and Hockenheimring.[1] The series folded after the 2025 season, after the organizers could not reach an agreement with ACO about the continuation of the V8-powered cars[2].
Format
The race weekend consisted of two, 55-minute sprint races with a mandatory pit stop.[3]
Classes
The series was open to LMP3 prototypes with CN cars also eligible to enter, running on Michelin tires.[3]
