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. 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. Schmidt and Kirchhöfer collided in the second race, while Thomas Jäger secured his first win in the German series, 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.
The 2012 calendar was announced on 29 September 2011. Seven of eight race weekends are a part of the ADAC's Masters Weekend package, with an additional round at the Nürburgring that will support the ADAC Truck Grand Prix.
^1 — The third race at the Sachsenring was abandoned following an accident in which Florian Herzog and Kim-Alexander Giersiepen collided with a course car while marshals were recovering the car of Nicolas Pohler from a gravel trap.
