Second-placed Abt-Lamborghini subsequently disqualified

• Technical violation detected on the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO

• Subsequent entrants move up: Walkenhorst-Aston Martin now second behind the winning Mercedes-AMG Team RAVENOL

• Five other GT3 cars cleared of any issues following a post-race inspection

Team Abt, which finished second in the 2026 ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring, has been retrospectively disqualified due to a technical infringement. This decision was taken by the stewards at a meeting on 12 June 2026. The following cars move up the order, meaning that behind the winning Mercedes-AMG Team RAVENOL with Maro Engel / Luca Stolz / Fabian Schiller / Maxime Martin (Mercedes-AMG GT3), the Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 EVO from Walkenhorst Motorsport with Christian Krognes / Mattia Drudi / Nicki Thiim now takes second place. New in 3rd place: Rowe Racing with Daniel Harper / Max Hesse / Sheldon van der Linde / Dries Vanthoor (BMW M4 GT3 EVO).

During a technical post-race inspection, the #84 Lamborghini (driven by Luca Engstler / Mirko Bortolotti / Patric Niederhauser) was found to have excessive power output. This was outside the tolerance range prescribed by the Balance of Performance (BoP). In total, six GT3 cars in the SP9 class were inspected in the days following the race as part of a routine post-race inspection. The inspections of the other five cars from Aston Martin, BMW, Ford, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche, including tests on a dynamometer to measure power output, revealed no issues. As the Abt team has decided not to appeal, the result of the 54th ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring is now final and can be viewed at www.24h-rennen.de.
