The 2012 ADAC Formel Masters season is an open-wheel motor racing series for emerging young racing drivers based out of Germany. It is the fifth season of the ADAC Formel Masters. The season began on 31 March at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben and will finish on 30 September at Hockenheim after eight race weekends, totalling 24 races.

After six rounds of the championship Swedish driver Gustav Malja leads of the Neuhauser Racing team leads German driver Marvin Kirchhöfer by 15 points.

Season review

The first two poles of the season were claimed at Oschersleben by second-year driver Jeffrey Schmidt for the Lotus team, that was previously known as Motopark Academy.[1] But he was passed by his team-mate Marvin Kirchhöfer on the opening lap of the first race, with Kirchhöfer going on to win his first race in single-seaters.[2] Schmidt and Kirchhöfer collided in the second race, while Thomas Jäger secured his first win in the German series,[3] and the first for his team, Neuhauser Racing, since 2008. Another Lotus driver Kuba Dalewski won the reverse-grid third race of the weekend in his first single-seaters meeting.[4]
