ADAC Nordrhein is planning a new 24h Nürburgring series for the Nordschleife from 2027 onwards

• A compact format comprising five events and six races in accordance with the 24-hour regulations is planned

• The 24h Nürburgring series and the DHLM (German Historic Endurance Championship) combine modern and classic motorsport

• Nordschleife classics such as the ADAC Eifelrennen, the ADAC 1000km Race and the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring feature on the calendar

From 2027, the 24h Nürburgring will be placed on a broader footing. For this reason, ADAC Nordrhein, as the organiser, has launched the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Series. In addition to the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring and the 24h Qualifiers, there will be a 24h Prologue to mark the start of the season, giving teams and drivers even more extensive testing opportunities ahead of the four-day highlight of the Nordschleife season. Furthermore, the new racing series will include two summer events, which will run in accordance with the technical regulations of the 24h Nürburgring. These will take place as part of the traditional ADAC Eifelrennen and the ADAC 1000km race, both organised by DAMC 05 Veranstaltungs-GmbH. All events in the new series will be held on the 24h circuit variant, comprising the Grand Prix circuit and the Nordschleife. “We are thereby responding to the wishes of many teams who wanted compact and targeted preparation for the ‘race of the year’ on the Nürburgring Nordschleife,” explains Walter Hornung, sporting director of ADAC Nordrhein. “At the same time, this allows us to extend the extremely positive development of the 24h Nürburgring over the past few years to other events, which will be organised entirely along the lines of the 24h.”

Numerous benefits for registered racing teams

The standardised format for events, regulations and organisation are not the only benefits for registered teams and drivers in the new 24h Series. They also benefit from a reduced entry fee and a guaranteed starting place for the 24h Nürburgring. At the same time, the planned prize money is intended to help cover the costs of the teams’ participation. The organisers also expect a number of teams to take part in both the 24h Series and the DHLM (German Historic Endurance Championship). For these teams, competing in both series will create a range of synergies – for example, in terms of logistics for the joint racing events.

Special offers for fans

The new 24h Nürburgring Series is also set to be a real treat for Nordschleife fans. Whether via the famously comprehensive and high-quality live stream, the live timing and race ticker on the 24h website, or the social media channels followed by hundreds of thousands of fans: the new series will launch with media coverage of the highest standard. At the same time, special offers are planned for visitors at the venue – such as a season ticket of sorts or special camping packages for the various events.

Planned 2027 event calendar

In its inaugural 2027 season, the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Series will comprise five events featuring a total of six races:

• 24h Nürburgring Prologue: 2-3 April 2027 (Friday-Saturday)*

• 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers: 30 April - 2 May 2027 (Friday-Sunday)**
