The ADAC Procar-Serie is a yearly motorsport series organized by German automobile club ADAC in Germany and some surrounding countries.

Currently the Procar Series is the highest level of German motorsport that runs cars to the Super 2000 regulations used in World Touring Car Championship (WTCC). To fill up the grid, and to promote new, young drivers the few Super 2000 cars are joined by the less advanced Division 2 and 3 series (the Super 2000 cars being called Division 1), bringing up the total number of starting drivers to around 20 to 25. Division 1 also allows cars of BTCC-spec - the 2005 champion Mathias Schläppi won in a BTCC-built MG ZS.

The Procar Series have existed since 2001 as a championship for Super Production cars under the name DTC (Deutsche - Tourenwagen - Challenge). Ford and Hotfiel Sport had a very important presence in the early and middle parts of the history of the series with Thomas Klenke winning the championship in 2002 and Michael Funke in 2004. The 2005 season saw the introduction of Super 2000 rules for Division 1 and the series changed its name to the DMSB Produktionswagen Meisterschaft. Mathias Schläppi in a MG ZS for Maurer Motorsport was the undisputed champion, winning 12 out of 16 races. 2006 saw Maurer Motorsport swapping their MG's for Chevrolet's and Mathias Schläppi for ex-BTCC driver Vincent Radermecker. Schläppi instead drove for the new TFS-Yaco team running Toyota Corollas. Vincent Radermecker would win Maurer's second title while Schläppi was second in the championship.
While arguably having some talented drivers and teams such as Radermecker, Schläppi, Maurer Motorsport and so on the Procar Series is very minor compared to the immensely propular DTM series.
