## Race calendar and results

The provisional calendar was released on 8 November 2020. Initially, all rounds were to support the 2021 ADAC GT Masters. The updated version was published on 6 December 2020. 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. Due to the pandemic, the round at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben was postponed to 25–27 June and removed from the calendar eventually. 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.
