The ADAC MX Masters is the premier domestic German Motocross series, organised by the Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club.

Contents

The series runs annually throughout spring and summer, typically consisting of 7-8 rounds. Although the series exists as the premier championship for the sport in Germany, it has also in taken in rounds in several neighbouring European countries over the years. [1]

The premier class within the championship is the MX Masters class but there are also three other classes that act as a ladder for younger riders to move up the ranks. [2]

History

Prior to the beginning of the ADAC MX Masters, the International German Motocross Championship existed as the highest level of the sport in Germany in various forms since the early 1950s. As a reaction to difficult conditions for the sport within the county, ADAC Sports President Hermann Tomczyk along with Dieter Porsch and former racer Dietmar Lacher founded the series. [3]

The Youngster Cup division was introduced in the second year of the championship for riders under the age of 21, with Junior class for 85cc machines brought in in 2018. Dennis Ullrich and Max Nagl are the most successful riders in the championships history with five titles each. [4] Internationally notable riders such as Ken Roczen, Jordi Tixier, Pauls Jonass, Glenn Coldenhoff, Jett Lawrence and Simon Längenfelder have all picked up titles across the divisions of the series. Multi-time Grand Prix winner Max Nagl has picked up five titles in the premier Masters class and is notable for having a fourteen-year gap between his second and third crowns.

Event Format

Rounds of the ADAC MX Masters typically have a two-day format. Qualifying sessions for all classes are held on the Saturday along with last chance races for classes with the number of entries that require this. In addition, the opening races for some of the classes are held on Saturday afternoon.
