The Nürburgring 24 Hours is a 24-hour annual touring car and GT endurance racing event that takes place on a combination of the Nordschleife ("North Loop") and the GP-Strecke ("Grand Prix track") circuits of the Nürburgring in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Held since 1970, the over 25.3 km (15.7 mi) lap length allows more than 200 cars and over 700 drivers to participate.
Starting in 2024, the event will be officially named ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring for sponsorship reasons.[1] Furthermore, the 2024 season of the race will be included in the Intercontinental GT Challenge calendar.[2]
Overview
Officially[3] called "ADAC 24h Rennen Nürburgring" in German ('ADAC 24 hour Race Nürburgring'), it was introduced in 1970 by the ADAC as an official race,[vague] unlike the earlier endurance contests that covered 12, 24 (in 1961 and 1967), 36, 84 and even 96 hours, like the Marathon de la Route.[citation needed] This substitute for the Liège-Rome-Liège and Liège-Sofia-Liège rallies was held on the Nürburgring from 1965 to 1971.
It is similar to the
Just like the
Due to various changes and versions of the Grand Prix Strecke, the overall length of the track varied from the original 22.835 km (14.189 mi) to nearly 26 km (16.2 mi) of the maximum length configuration which was in use in 2002 and 2003, after the GP track had been extended by the Mercedes Arena. As this section and its large paved run-off areas was useful as extra paddock zone for the competitors of the support races, it is bypassed with a sharp Z-shape chicane since 2005 for a 25.3 km (15.7 mi) track length.
For practice, 230[4] cars are allowed, 210 qualify for the race, driven by 800 or more drivers, as 2, 3 or 4 can share a car. One driver is allowed to drive 150 minutes non-stop, and can enter on two cars, yet a rest time of at least 2 hours has to be observed between two turns of the same driver.
The 2020 race was postponed to September and held with limited spectators, restricted to the Grand Prix course area (initially planned to be held
Cars
The Nurburgring 24 Hours is known for its wide variety of cars. In 2023, 135 cars in 20 classes were entered.[5] Available classes include:[6]
- The 24h-Special classes that consist of pure race cars that may compete in other race series. It consists of the classes SP1 to SP8 differentiated by engine displacement with an optional suffix T for turbo charged engines, the SP9 class for FIA GT3 cars, the SP10 class for SRO GT4 cars.
- The VLN production cars classes that intend to allow relatively low-cost racing with near-series cars. It consists of several classes of normally-aspirated cars(V3 to V6), and several classes of turbo-charged cars(VT1 to VT3, with separate classes for front-wheel drive cars), differentiated by engine displacement.
- Cup classes(BMW M240i, Porsche Cayman GT4Clubsport).
- TCR touring car.
- AT class for cars using alternative fuels.
The race has often seen cars that are rarely used in other international racing events. Examples include Fiat Cinquecentos[7] in the 1990s, a Volkswagen Caravelle[8] in 2000, the P4/5 Competizione[9] in the 2010s, or a 1988 Opel Manta[10] that has raced from 1994 to 2023.
Safety
Due to the length of the track, the Nürburgring 24 Hours has unusual safety procedures compared to other modern professional endurance races. Safety cars are not used, double yellow flags indicate a local speed limit of 120 km/h, and code 60 flags, used locally for incidents warranting a safety car on shorter tracks, limit the speed to 60 km/h. It is common for course cars and vehicle recovery trucks to travel around the course under local double yellow flags. Since 2015; competitors must hold a valid "DMSB Permit Nordschleife", a license to race specifically on the Nordschleife section of the Nürburgring.[11] They must also take part in 3 races on the track within the last 2 calendar years.[12]
Closing speeds between the fastest and slowest car classes is a common concern, as the track has many blind crests and corners. In 2023, a serious accident happened between a Porsche 911 GT3 R and a Dacia Logan SP3 - the slowest car in the field that year - after the Porsche hit the Logan at the high-speed Stefan-Bellof-S and sent it into the barriers.[13][14]
The unpredictable Eifel weather is also a danger. Heavy rain and fog stopped the race for several hours in 2018, 2020 and 2021, while the 2016 race was red-flagged due to an unusual hailstorm storm that caused a series of crashes.[15][16]
In 2001, driver Christian Peruzzi was killed after a practice accident in an Alfa Romeo 147.[17] It was the only fatality in the event's history.
Support races
The Nürburgring 24 Hours has several support races on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, some happening on the GP Track, some happening on the Nordschleife only, some happening on the combined track.
As of 2023, the support program includes the
History
2006 race
Unlike the two previous races, held on
Due to good conditions and stiff competition by similar cars, a new overall distance record (3,832 km (2,381 mi) in 151 laps) was scored by the Porsche 996 GT3 of
A remarkable 5th place overall was scored by a
2007 race
For the 2007 event held on Corpus Christi weekend of June 7–10, more than 260 teams had applied for the 220 race entries. Prior to the start which had been scheduled for 15:00, an approaching thunderstorm made the organizers delay the beginning of the race. Lightning struck the camp of fans, injuring several, while heavy rain made the track muddy. At 16:51, the race was started after two laps behind a safety car. Veteran Klaus Ludwig at the wheel of the
When the race resumed, the Land Porsche 996 GT3-RSR was slightly damaged when hitting the back of the Manthey car, and the Aston Martin engine failed. Thus the Manthey team could easily defend its 2006 victory. The reliable, yet no more fast enough Zakspeed Dodge Viper GTS-R came in second, with the Alzen brothers
Remarkable performances were the top ten finishes of a
2008 race
For the 2008, over 270 cars were entered, of which only 230 could be accepted. The race began in sunny weather with drama for the favorite Porsche teams of Manthey and Land, losing time with a leaky radiator and a tire failure, and the new Alzen 997 Turbo and the Zakspeed Viper battling for the lead. After the Viper was out, only the
Manthey could catch up and win the race for a third time in a row, with the winning car of 2006 (a 996 model) finishing 2nd. The triumph made the team mechanics cut off Olaf Manthey's famous moustache tips.
2009 race
For 2009, the organizers announced that they wanted to reduce the gap in speeds, by not accepting small capacity cars any more, and by slowing down the fastest classes, SP7 and SP8. Also, the new
Probably also due to the economic crisis, the number of entries is much lower than in previous years, with only 170 cars starting the race. Surprisingly, the pole was set by a Ford GT, followed closely by the four factory-entered Audi R8 LMS and two Porsche GT3 of the Manthey team. They have decided to enter their well-known RSR, which is basically a GT2 car, but now has about 70 hp less due to new air restrictors, and also a 997 GT3 Cup S, the version Porsche homologated for FIA GT3. For the first 19 hours, two of the Audis and the two Manthey Porsche battled for the lead within a lap, the pace likely to result in a new distance record. The Manthey #1 had been punished for approaching an accident site too quickly and had to wait 3 minutes in the box, but the decision was reverted later based on data logging evidence, with the lost time deducted from the results. Around 11:30, the #99 Audi which had a narrow lead was stopped by suspension problems. Following repairs this car finished in 5th position. This left the #97 Audi in second, and with the win in its class, 5 minutes behind the overall winner.
2010 race
The 2010 event on Ascension Day weekend of May 13–16 saw a return of most prominent entries, except the Ford GT, as team Raeder had discontinued this project. To give teams time to rest or for repairs before the race, the night practice was scheduled on Thursday evening. In cold and wet conditions, the Farnbacher-entered
Porsche test driver Walter Röhrl had intended[22] to enter on a standard road legal Porsche 911 GT3 RS, but had to withdraw due to health reasons from the team that comprises racers Roland Asch and Patrick Simon, plus journalists Horst von Saurma and Chris Harris. The car, entered in cooperation with sport auto (Germany),[23] is registered as S-GO 2400, and was driven from Weissach to Nürburg. It has qualified with 9:15, 42nd overall, and 9th[24] among the 17 SP7 class entrants, only beaten by its race-prepped Porsche 997 siblings.
The race was started on Saturday 3 p.m. in sunny but cold weather. Already on the Grand Prix track, the #1 Manthey Porsche driven by five-time winner
The SP4 class was won by 4 Argentinian drivers in the BMW 325i E92 Coupe of Motorsport Team Sorg Rennsport. This was the first victory for an Argentinian team at the Nürburgring 24 Hours race and the first Argentinian team to compete in the Nürburgring since Juan Manuel Fangio.

After 2010 Sorg Rennsport took the victory in class SP4 again. Gianvito Rossi, Diego Romanini, Alfredo Varini and Alexander Rappold have been the only team in that class.

2021 race
The 2021 race was won by the Porsche-based Manthey Racing, who was forced to sit out the previous year's race due to COVID-19 concerns involving the team crew.
