Callaway C7 GT3-R cruises to victory and RWT contends in Austria

# 77 Markus Pommer and Marvin Kirchhöfer won for the 3rd time over the first 6 races of the 2019 ADAC GT Masters season.

The race was near-perfect for pole-winner Kirchhöfer who managed to pull away even after a safety car interrupted the pace.  

Pommer took over and finished well ahead of Maximilian Götz and Indy Dontje in a Mercedes-AMG.

Horses for courses: The Corvette has now won 9 times at the Red Bull Ring (25% of its 35 victories in the ADAC GT Masters).

# 13 David Jahn RWT Corvette was running 2nd at the mandatory pit stop.  

During the driver change, Patric Niederhauser # 31 Audi got past Sven Barth and holds the championship lead going into the 2-month summer break.  A drive-through penalty for straying off course dropped Barth to 8th at the close.
