The season opener of the digital Nürburgring endurance series was a festival for every motorsport fan. In the RAVENOL 3-hour race, Alejandro Sánchez and Elias Seppänen in the Mercedes-AMG GT3 of AMG Team Apex finished just 0.27 seconds ahead. Last year's champion Norbi Kiss and Felix Quirmbach of BS+COMPETITION had to settle for second place. In third place, Sami-Matti Trogen and Vasilios Beletsiotis of AMG Team Williams completed a perfect triple victory for Mercedes-AMG. Apex Racing had two reasons to celebrate, as victory in the SP10 class also went to the virtual racing team from Great Britain. In the Cup 2 and SP3 classes, drivers from SCHERER eSPORT were at the top of the podium. In qualifying, Alexey Nesov secured pole position in the Porsche 911 GT3 R of Pole Promotion Esports, managed by René Rast. However, because he did not maintain the specified speed in the last few meters before the start, race control imposed a penalty. The two AMG teams took the lead and fought a thrilling duel for victory over long stretches of the race. “In the end, we had a little more pace in some sections,” said Sánchez. “We were able to take advantage of that and ultimately take the victory.” Reigning ADAC GT Masters champion Seppänen, who completed the first stint as a real driver, added: “I got off to a good start and benefited when the Porsche received the penalty. We managed to save fuel in the early stages, so we didn't have to make an additional stop at the end. In the end, it got really tight, but Alejandro had it well under control. That was a perfect race.” After 24 laps, pole-sitter Nesov was flagged down in fifth place together with Constantin Tscharf behind the best-placed BMW M4 GT3 of the MAHLE RACING TEAM. Sixth place went to the Ferrari 296 GT3 from Impulse Racing by GTÜ. The two Ford Mustang GT3s from M&J Downforce took seventh and eighth places. The Cup 2 class of the Porsche Esports Endurance Trophy Nürburgring was also hotly contested. In the Manthey one-make cup, the two Porsches of SCHERER eSPORT were the measure of all things, as they were last year. Raphael Rennhofer and William Chadwick took first place ahead of last year's champions Luca Alpert and Julian Reimer. Luca Kita and Luis Beilicke rounded off the good team result for Apex Racing in third place. “After just missing out on the title last season, winning the opener today was a dream start to the new season,” said Rennhofer. “The field is extremely strong again this year. It was very difficult to hold our own, especially in the first stint, because you can't get a gap with the slipstream.” Chadwick analyzed the secret of their success: “We managed to handle the tires and fuel the best.” The maximum points in the newly created PEETN Am drivers' standings went to Michael Lerchbacher and Christopher Wolfgruber, who drove the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup to tenth place in the class for Austrian Simracers. The decision in the GT4 class SP10 was only made in the last few meters. On the penultimate lap, Aaron Wazquezz and Maxence Godinho took the lead. In the final lap, they managed to open up a small gap that their pursuers could no longer close. DNLS champions from Season 5, Corentin Guinez and Marvin Strehl, took second place in the Mercedes-AMG GT4 from SimRC, ahead of Lucas U. Müller and Benedikt Hitz in the BMW M4 GT4 from Falken Simracing. “A fantastic start,” said Wazquezz. “We had a good qualifying and were very happy with our race pace. We also managed to stay out of trouble. So, despite a small problem at the last pit stop, we were able to secure first place in the end.” The maiden victory of the Renault Clio in the SP3 went to Sven Winter and Michael Teisch of SCHERER eSPORT. The duo beat Leon Harhoff and Lean Weigel of smillaesports x Entropy and Christopher Limprecht and Merlin Marc Wolf of Wollf Motorsport Simracing. “That was mega fun today,” said Teisch. ‘We had a bit of bad luck because we took a hit on the first lap and our steering wheel has been crooked ever since. Fortunately, this didn't affect the pace.’ The big challenge in the smallest DNLS class – as in multiclass racing in real NLS – is to read traffic as best as possible while still concentrating on your race. Teisch explains: “It's always exciting when a D-train of Cup Porsches or something like that flies past you. You have to drive carefully, but not too much, so that the lapping driver can still see what you're doing. That's not that easy with the Clio, because on the Nordschleife you have an extremely high proportion of full throttle and especially in direct duels in the class you can never let the slipstream tear away. The second race of the Digital Nürburgring Endurance Series is scheduled for February 1, 2025.

The Christmas tree is aglow with lights, biscuits and a hot drink are ready and waiting, and the comfy sofa invites you to linger... Only one thing is missing for complete happiness: thrilling racing in the Green Hell. The time has finally come: the Digital Nürburgring Endurance Series kicks off on December 21 with the RAVENOL 3-hour race. At 11:45 a.m., VLN.de will start the livestream and provide answers to the most important questions: How will DTM champion Mirko Bortolotti fare in his debut in the DNLS in the Dörr Esports Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO? How will the Ford Mustang GT3 fare on the Nordschleife during its first kilometers of racing? Can last year's SimRC champions also shine in the GT4 class? And how close will it be in the SP3 with the Renault Clio? While construction work is currently taking place on the real Nürburgring-Nordschleife, the unique asphalt strip that winds so unmistakably through the gentle hills of the Eifel is presented at its best in the iRacing racing simulation. The BMW M4 GT3, Ferrari 296 GT3, Ford Mustang GT3, Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO, Mercedes-AMG GT3 and Porsche 911 GT3 R are ready to go in the GT3 class SP9 for overall victory. Well-known teams from the real NLS will be competing again this year: Haupt Racing Team by GnG, Mühlner Motorsport/XSmilla, Dörr Esports and Falken Simracing. They will be competing against strong simracing teams such as BS+COMPETITION and the AMG teams Williams and Apex Racing. In addition, esports teams of well-known racing drivers will also be taking part: M&J Downforce with Marek Böckmann and Jan Philipp Springob, Pole Promotion Esports with René Rast and Nürburgring eSports with Marc Hennerici and Andy Gülden. The line-up is rounded off by other interesting constellations: DTM champion Bortolotti will be taking the wheel for Dörr Esports and Benjamin Leuchter will be starting for Falken in the Porsche 911 GT3. It will be a thrilling fight for the overall victory. The Cup 2 class has new features. In the Porsche Esports Endurance Trophy Nürburgring, which is organized by Manthey, there will be a pro and an amateur driver classification for the first time this year, in addition to the normal class classification. What is particularly interesting is that one of the winners of the real PETN, Lucas Daugaard from Denmark, is classified as an amateur in the virtual world for AVIA W&S Racing. Other teams from the NLS are SRS Team Sorg Rennsport, pb Performance by GnG, Halder Motorsport, Scherer eSport and Team75 Bernhard by SimRC. After the entries were received, the organizers were faced with a huge problem: there was simply too much interest in this class, so the teams had to qualify in advance for the 2024/25 season. iRacing allows a maximum of 64 participating vehicles in one race. Even though some of the top teams failed to qualify and will not be able to participate, fans can still look forward to exciting races, because the line-up is fast and, above all, close. The same applies to the GT4 class SP10, by the way. Here, too, the protagonists had to go through a pre-qualification. This was not a problem for Falken Simracing, Dörr Esports and Nürburgring eSports, as well as for the simracing professional teams BS+Competition, Team Heusinkveld and Coanda eSports. Last year's champions have decided to move up to the GT4 class this year. Marvin Strehl and Corentin Guinez will start for SimRC in the Mercedes-AMG GT4. There will be a major revival in the SP3 this winter season, which will be contested with Renault Clio this year. Long-standing NLS fans will remember the years when the Renault Clio Cup enriched the Nordschleife races. Interesting teams will also be competing in the virtual comeback. For example, Tomas Enge Racing, led by the former Formula 1 and DTM driver from the Czech Republic. Last year's VT2 class runners-up, WolfMotorsportSimracing, are competing again. Also competing are RACE SIM Zone, with RCN driver Nadia Brülisauer and the Eifel Racing by GTÜ kart and sim racing circle, who are also planning to compete in real-life Nordschleife racing in the medium term. Presenters Olli Martini and Patrick Simon will open the livestream on VLN.de on Saturday at 11:45 a.m. from the virtual studio at the Nürburgring with a pre-show and a summary of the practice sessions. The virtual starting lights will switch to green at 1 p.m. for the three-hour race.

Agreements and business relationships with our guests, customers, partners, service providers and employees remain unaffected by the insolvency proceedings.

Before the end of the year, the organisers of the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring published the timetable for the major event from 19–22 June 2025. This means that everyone involved – active participants, fans and, of course, the organisers themselves – can start planning for the coming year early. As usual, the program will be extensive and will once again offer everything from historic racing to high-tech cars in the 24-hour field, providing exciting motorsport on the legendary Nordschleife. The timetable for the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers from May 24th to 25th, 2025 has also been published. The Prologue weekend, the season highlight of the 24h four weeks later, will also be part of the NLS (Nürburgring Endurance Series) next year, ensuring numerous attractive entries and exciting racing in the two four-hour races. The schedules are now available on the 24h race homepage. The biggest change in the program of the legendary 24h race awaits spectators during the practice days on Thursday and Friday. As usual, the Thursday program will be dominated by the two 24-hour qualifying sessions, which together take up more than five hours of time. In the evening battle for the best lap times, the first 15 minutes are reserved exclusively for the SP9 participants – the GT3 racing cars. Only after that is the track open to all participants for the atmospheric night qualifying session, which lasts until 23:30. Traditionally, this is the first atmospheric highlight of the event weekend. The reason for this change in detail can be explained by looking at the Friday program: the top qualifying session, in which the fastest participants fight for pole position in a single time trial, is scheduled for midday. Those responsible for the regulations are currently working on a new, simplified mode for this part of qualifying, which is to be adopted by the time the announcement is published in January. The plan is to create a process that provides additional transparency and thus increases the sporting excitement. The third qualifying session will then take place on Friday afternoon, where the focus will be on the participants who are fighting for the starting positions behind the fastest cars in the field. For them, the new qualification mode will bring increased attention. Key points for an attractive supporting program have been setIt won't just be the 24-hour sessions that keep the crowds glued to the track during the season's highlight; the supporting program, the sporting part of which has now also been finalized, will ensure that. The highlight, of course, continues to be the ADAC 24h-Classic. The huge field of youngtimers and Anhang-K classic cars will be causing a stir on the track for two and a half hours on Saturday morning. The first races will take place much earlier, namely on Thursday: after the traditional warm-up with the RCN (Rundstrecken Challenge Nürburgring) performance test in the morning, the touring car legends will kick off the action with the first of a total of three races. The battles between the racing cars from the former DTM, STW and other legendary series on the Grand Prix circuit are undoubtedly among the crowd favorites. The Cup and Touring Car Trophy will also hold their first race on Thursday. On Friday, both series will then frame the qualifying sessions of the 24-hour race and the 24-hour Classic race with further races. On Saturday, there will be another touring car legends race before the starting signal is given at 4:00 p.m. for the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring! In addition to the sporting events, many other highlights are planned for the 2025 supporting program. After all, program items such as the Falken Drift Show on Friday evening or the big autograph session with all the teams are just as much a must for numerous visitors as the show acts during the starting lineup or the numerous attractions throughout the event grounds. Two NLS races upgrade 24h QualifiersThe ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers from May 23rd to 25th, 2025 not only form the prologue for the actual 24h a month later. The two four-hour races on Saturday and Sunday will also count as the fourth and fifth rounds of the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS). This increases the sporting value and should ensure a full field of participants. Visitors will also experience more action on the track: the race weekend will kick off with three hours of testing and setup sessions on Friday afternoon. After qualifying for the first four-hour race on Saturday afternoon (start: 5:30 p.m.), the track will be the RCN's for three and a half hours. On Sunday, it's one thing after another: after qualifying in the morning, the fastest teams go into top qualifying and thus into the battle for pole position. At 1:00 p.m., the starting field is then sent into the second qualifier race of the weekend - which not only promises NLS points, but also the very last test under competitive conditions before the 24-hour race in June.

At the last works meeting in 2024, Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG honored a total of 35 employees for their many years of service at the Nürburgring. Together, the honorees bring nearly 500 years of experience at the legendary race track and event location – a combination of tradition, solidarity, and diverse careers, some of which began here with their training. The honors were bestowed by managing directors Christian Stephani and Ingo Böder, head of HR Michael Dürbaum and chair of the works council Sylvia Magor. From five years to three decades – the range of anniversaries and years of service at the Nürburgring not only illustrates the high level of loyalty of the employees, but also the diverse career paths. Whether in track service, facility management, accounting, marketing, IT or events – the anniversaries also represent the wide range of tasks at the Nürburgring with their numerous fields of activity. This is also reflected in the longest-standing employees who were honored: Elvira Emmerichs from Financial Accounting and Michael Geuthner from Track Services can each look back on 25 years of service. Hans Zimmermann, Team Leader of Track Services, has been with the Nürburgring for five years longer: He has been working at the Nürburgring for a full 30 years. The annual tribute to long-standing employees is a tradition at the versatile event location and is a sign of the strong sense of community that characterizes work at the Ring. “It is impressive to see how many colleagues have remained loyal to the Nürburgring for many years – some of them since their training. This shows that the Nürburgring is not only a special place for motorsport, but also for professional fulfillment and personal development,” emphasizes Head of Human Resources Michael Dürbaum. ”We are proud of the loyalty and commitment of our employees, who advance the Nürburgring every day with their dedication.”

Germany’s iconic Nürburgring Nordschleife is the gold-standard for sports car development. And the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is the first car from an American brand to complete a lap in under seven minutes. Driven by Multimatic Motorsports driver Dirk Müller, the 815-horsepower Mustang GTD lapped the circuit nicknamed “The Green Hell” in an officially certified 6:57:685. It’s the fifth fastest time by a stock production sports car and Mustang GTD is only the sixth vehicle in that class to break the seven-minute barrier. The time delivers on the goal laid out by CEO Jim Farley at the Mustang GTD’s debut in August 2023. “The team behind Mustang GTD took what we’ve learned from decades on the track and engineered a Mustang that can compete with the world’s best supercars,” said Jim Farley, Ford president and CEO. “We’re proud to be the first American automaker with a car that can lap the Nürburgring in under seven minutes, but we aren’t satisfied. We know the Mustang GTD can set a faster Nürburgring lap. We’ll be back.” Mustang GTD’s Nürburgring success is due to the work of a small, dedicated team of engineers and designers who worked tirelessly over the course of two years to turn the Mustang GT3 race car into the first-ever Mustang supercar. Ford documented their efforts in the run up to the timed Nürburgring run in The Road To The Ring, a 13-minute documentary that covers the challenge, drama, and excitement of developing Mustang GTD. The documentary, which is available on Ford.com, the Ford YouTube channel, and Facebook is a behind-the-scenes look at the testing of Mustang GTD, from iconic American tracks like Sebring, through to development sessions at the Nürburgring. It features Farley, Muller, Multimatic Chief Technical Officer Larry Holt, Mustang GTD Chief Program Engineer Greg Goodall, and Mustang GTD Design Manager Anthony Colard, as well as other members of the Ford and Multimatic team. Mustang GTD represents the apex of Mustang performance and benefits from lessons learned by the Ford Performance Motorsports and Multimatic Motorsports Mustang GT3 program, in particular around aerodynamics and setup for tracks such as the Nürburgring. However, Mustang GTD isn’t subject to the rules and regulations of GT3 racing, which prohibit much of the technology that allow a sub-seven-minute Nürburgring lap. That includes carbon-ceramic brakes, active aerodynamics, a supercharger, and semi-active suspension. A carbon-fiber body is familiar from GT3 racing, and while the Mustang GTD that completed the sub-seven-minute lap was entirely stock, it did include motorsports-derived safety gear mandated by the Nürburgring. That includes a competition seat with a five-point harness and a roll cage.

Other new features include the option of reserving a parking space on site and a camping area in advance – limited contingents will be reserved in advance for both. The Family & Friends camping and parking offers will go on sale at a later date. The popular bundles are also already being prepared, so the combination ticket with the legendary 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps will be on offer again. Those who don't want to miss the prologue to the 24h Nürburgring can also secure their tickets for the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers from May 24th to 25th, 2025, with immediate effect. Information, prices and the link to the ticket shop are now available here and at www.24h-rennen.de. Ticket purchase is becoming more digital and therefore even easierTwo important innovations make it even easier for visitors to the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring to attend the season's highlight at the Ring. The new race ticket, valid from Saturday to Sunday, eliminates the question of when day visitors need a new ticket during the race night. Like all other tickets, it is Print & Home tickets are now also available as an alternative. From 2025, tickets can also be stored on mobile devices. This allows ticket sales to continue in the online store up to the days of the event. Visitors can also purchase tickets on the spot via their mobile device.

After scanning the tickets, the familiar visitor wristbands will continue to be issued as tickets. As soon as the ticket code has been scanned, the code will no longer be valid. Parking and camping can be booked in advance from JanuaryIt has long been tradition for visitors to organize themselves around the Nordschleife – the many groups and individual visitors turn the longest racetrack world into a gigantic festival site that is extremely atmospheric. There, first come, first served also applies. This tradition will continue in the future, but the range of offers at the world's biggest race is growing: from 2025, the new “Family&Friends Area” will be available on parking area C3 at the Müllenbachschleife. There will be camping and tickets at an all-inclusive price for all visitors who prefer a quieter environment during the event – also ideal for families with children. For example, private generators are not allowed in this area; instead, an “all-inclusive package” with electricity, sanitary facilities and Wi-Fi is being planned. The offer will also be bookable online in good time before the Nürburgring 24 Hours.In the past, visitors have often expressed the wish to reserve parking spaces, for which the technical requirements have now been created: in 2025, there will be a limited opportunity to book a parking space in advance. The advantage of the Nürburg site is that visitors arriving there have the opportunity to avoid the traffic congestion around the start and finish. For the first time, all parking tickets will also be equipped with a code that is scanned at the entrance. The aim is to achieve an improvement in terms of arrival, spectator guidance and parking management. Tickets are expected to be available for booking from mid-January.

Next year, the ticket regulations will also be aligned with those of the NLS. Accordingly, there will be ticket checks at the fan hotspots at the Nordschleife in the future, and camping visitors will also incur costs.

While the construction vehicles are out and about on the race track, the Nürburgring started its indoor season last weekend with the Rhineland-Palatinate Cheerleading State Championship. 600 participants offered the more than 1,000 spectators in the stands of the ring°arena a colorful show program of dance, acrobatics and floor exercises. The mix of top athletic performances and a great atmosphere was the perfect start to a varied winter program. Further events with sports, music and shows are now on the agenda until March. An overview of the winter highlights: MO-TORRES unplugged (December 13, 2024) Cologne musician MO-TORRES returns to the Nürburgring with his new “Übertrieben Unplugged Tour 2024”. The unique atmosphere of the ring°werk museum will provide the setting for an intimate and emotional concert experience. MO-TORRES, who already thrilled audiences in the Eifel region in 2023, will present his songs, which include the hit “Übertrieben schön”, in a calmer style, seeking closeness to his fans – a recipe for an unforgettable evening. While the VIP upgrade with meet & greet and soundcheck is already sold out, tickets are still available for the concert, which begins at 8 p.m. on Friday, December 13. International Sen5 Rhein Shiai (January 10–12, 2025) From January 10 to 12, 2025, the international karate elite will meet in the ring°arena. More than 1,000 participants from 16 nations are expected to demonstrate their skills on twelve competition areas. The tournament, organized by the Mayen-based karate club Sen5, is one of the largest karate events in Europe and features fights from young talents to top athletes. The wide range of disciplines and the high level of athleticism on display are particularly impressive and will once again attract spectators from across the region. An extensive supporting program with interactive stations, a motocross course and exciting exhibitions ensures that there is no chance of getting bored away from the competitions. Tickets are available online or at the box office for €10 each. Cheersport Regional Championship West (February 15, 2025) On February 15, 2025, the ring°arena will once again be the focus of Cheersport. With over 2,000 athletes from western Germany, the Western Regional Championship is a milestone in the German Cheersport competition series. The best teams, who have previously qualified in the state championships, compete to advance to the next round. With breathtaking choreography and an electric atmosphere, this event is a real spectacle for fans and families alike. Tickets will be available online in advance of the event. STAGE Championship & Events (February 16, 2025) Just one day later, on Sunday, February 16, 2025, the STAGE Championship will be held, where national and international teams will compete in open age groups. With its mix of show, competition and athletic diversity, the event offers a stage for everyone, from beginner teams to experienced competition squads. Once again, many spectators are expected to celebrate the achievements of the athletes in the ring°arena. The STAGE Championship highlights the importance of cheer sports and promotes the development of new talent. Tickets will also be available online in good time. Darts at the Ring Gala (March 29, 2025) The Darts at the Ring Gala is the best sign that the race engines are humming again outside. For the fourth year in a row, the darts stars will compete in the ring°arena during the current outdoor season. This time, world champions Gerwyn Price, Raymond van Barneveld and Rob Cross will be there. In addition, Germany's darts star Martin Schindler and “The Rockstar” Joe Cullen will perform on stage. And the fans will once again ensure a great atmosphere. Tickets are available for the seats in the interior of the arena and on the tiers at nuerburgring.de.
