After an exceptionally tough weekend, India's Aditya Patel and Austrian Daniel Dobitsch ended their ADAC GT Masters campaign on a high here Sunday, finishing 14th in the first race and seventh in the next.

While race one provided a lot of action on the track, MS Racing Audi drivers Patel and Dobitsch kept clear of trouble and finished a steady 14th.

Race two, on the other hand, provided plenty of overtaking and some spectacular driving by both MS Racing Audi R8 LMS cars. Starting 18th, Patel moved up to 11th before handing the car over to Dobitsch. From there on, Dobitsch steadily worked his way up to a well deserved seventh place finish.

"It was a mixed weekend, but in the end, it feels good to fight hard and bring the car home in the top 10! It was also a great experience working with Audi, MS Racing and Daniel through the year, and of course, none of this would be possible without the support of my sponsors, JK Tyres, Audi India and Amante," said Patel.
