The fascination of Green Hell at the Essen Motor Show (30.11. – 8.12.). The Nürburgring is presenting itself in Hall 3 with an emotional staging around legendary asphalt, high-tech and the art of engineering. As a powerful eye-catcher, a hypercar is in the spotlight twice at booth 3B24: during the opening weekend, the Mercedes-AMG ONE from the collection of the well-known automobile influencer Gercollector will thrill fans. From the halfway point of the show, the original Mercedes-AMG ONE that set the record for production vehicles on the legendary Nordschleife can be admired here. In addition, the trade fair appearance of the year-round leisure and event location offers fascinating insights into the digitalization of the legendary Nordschleife, virtual laps in the simulators of the Nürburgring eSports Bar, as well as exclusive offers such as fan articles or credits for tourist rides. Also available: the popular, free Nürburgring wall calendar with all dates for 2025. At the stand, the Nürburgring is also focusing on another key topic: safety on the track. A compact replica of the “Nordschleife Monitoring Center” gives visitors insights into one of the most modern and comprehensive safety projects in the history of the race track. The AI-supported monitoring system, which was set up over the past three years and uses over 100 cameras, ensures the highest level of safety on the most demanding race track in the world. The image signals, with which the entire Nordschleife can be monitored, converge in the Monitoring Center. The new safety standards benefit users such as tourist drivers who are looking forward to unforgettable laps in the Green Hell. At the trade fair, they can top up their credit for future trips directly at the Nürburgring stand for the first time, thus already whetting their appetite for the coming season. Those who don't want to wait until the first opening of the barriers in 2025 can take a few virtual laps at the race track stand in Hall 3. The fully movable simulators of the Nürburgring eSports Bar promise a realistic driving experience. And for those who want to take a piece of the Nürburgring home with them, the small ring°fanshop offers merchandise and exclusive trade fair offers. Fans can also test their knowledge of the Nordschleife in the Nürburgring's competition and win attractive prizes. Another highly visible element of the stand makes the diversity of the Nürburgring tangible. An LED wall displays impressive images and productions related to the Nürburgring as a destination – from the production company Nürburgring TV to the Nürburgring hotels and holiday park, the diverse Nürburgring atmosphere from major events as well as driving and adventure offers comes directly to the trade fair.

In the coming months, the construction machines at the Nürburgring will be back at full throttle. The annual winter construction work has begun. While a total of around 1.3 kilometers of asphalt will be replaced on the Nordschleife, various maintenance measures are planned for the Grand Prix circuit. At the same time, construction of the new exit for tourist drivers at Döttinger Höhe has begun. In total, the Nürburgring is investing 2.5 million euros this winter to prepare the world-famous track for the 2025 season. On the Nordschleife, the asphalt work this year is focused on two sections of the track. In the Pflanzgarten area, 1.15 kilometers of the track will be renovated from the so-called Eiskurve. In the Kesselchen area, 180 meters of asphalt will be renewed in the right-hand bend just before the “Steilstrecke” section. These measures include the complete renewal of the asphalt surface in order to preserve the unique characteristics of the track while at the same time meeting safety requirements. At the same time, extensive maintenance work is being carried out on the Grand Prix circuit and in the adjacent paddock. To ensure that the versatile event areas continue to offer the best conditions for a smooth running of events ranging from the 24-hour race to Rock am Ring and from the Truck Grand Prix to Rad am Ring, drainage channels, cabling ducts, hydrants and shafts, among other things, are being modernized. New exit for tourist driversA key project this winter is the construction of an additional exit at Döttinger Höhe. This measure is intended to significantly reduce the potential for congestion during the popular tourist trips. In the future, on busy days, it will be possible to exit directly onto the parallel L93 after completing a lap. “The schedule for all three parallel measures is again very tight,” explains Alexander Schnobel, the long-standing project manager for the construction work at the Nürburgring. “Just a few days ago, the season finale of the endurance series and the last day of the Touristenfahrten took place here – now the construction machines have taken over the track. The goal is to hand everything over in perfect condition for the new season. As in motorsport, the same applies here: top performance in the shortest possible time, in all weathers.” All the work should be completed by the beginning of March so that the 2025 season can start at the Nürburgring in good time. The Nürburgring had already communicated the event calendar for the coming year in September. The first race will be the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series on March 22. Traditionally, tourist drivers are allowed on the track during opening hours in the days leading up to the race. The Nürburgring traditionally announces these dates, eagerly awaited by Nordschleife fans, in December.

The new champions of the ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie are Sven Markert, Ranko Mijatovic and Toby Goodman. In the BMW M240i Racing of the Adrenalin Motorsport Team Mainhattan Wheels, the trio took their sixth class victory in the eighth race and crowned their season with the title in the most popular national racing series in 2024. The last victory of the year went to Mercedes-AMG Team Landgraf in the 56th ADAC Barbarossapreis. Lucas Auer and Mikaël Grenier prevailed in a thrilling finish against Morris Schuring and Ayhancan Güven in the Manthey-Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R. For much of the 2024 season, team principal Matthias Unger had not believed that he would celebrate a seventh consecutive title. In the end, Markert, Mijatovic and Goodman achieved the seemingly impossible. The trio had already had a crash barrier contact during Friday's test due to ABS problems on the Cup BMW. The mechanics did everything they could to get the car ready for the race. They succeeded, but there was another slight impact in training. The adrenaline team also overcame this hurdle with flying colors. In the race, there was only one chance for Markert, Mijatovic and Goodman. They needed to win their class to overtake Joshua Bednarski, Lucas Daugaard and Moritz Oberheim in the AVIA W&S Motorsport Porsche Cayman at the top of the table. But even with the victory in the bag, Adrenalin would have been left empty-handed if W&S had clinched a class win. After 15 laps, the Cayman retired with a technical defect. Markert, Mijatovic and Goodman, meanwhile, drove to a commanding class victory and were able to celebrate at the end. “After our retirement at NLS3, we had almost written off the championship,” said Goodman. ‘The fact that we are still at the top now shows that you can never give up and always have to keep fighting, even when the situation seems impossible.’ Markert added: ”We would never have won this title without the strong performance of Adrenalin Motorsport. The guys fought harder today than we drivers did. They deserve great praise.” Mijatovic had also resigned himself to finishing as runner-up: ”Our opponents were really unlucky in the last race and today. In my particular case, though, I have to say that luck hasn't always been on my side either. Today was different and I'm really proud.” “Nevertheless, we are very satisfied with the season,” said Patrick Wagner, team manager of AVIA W&S Racing. ”With the Cup 3 classification in the Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring and the championship in the ADAC GT4 Germany, we have achieved more than we had expected at the beginning of the year. Winning the championship in the NLS would have been the icing on the cake and we are disappointed. But next year we will give it another go.” Toby Goodman won the NLS Junior Trophy in addition to the championship title. In his debut year, the 22-year-old Briton beat W&S driver Daugaard. Michael Eichhorn, who drove the Cupra Leon from Auto Thomas by Jung Motorsport, won the counterpart – the Gentleman Trophy, which was held for the first time this year. Involved in the title fight for a long time, Daniel Mertens and Joshua Hislop consoled themselves by winning the production car trophy. The Hyundai i30N from Team Mertens Motorsport was the most successful car under the NLS's own regulations for production-based racing touring cars. Desiree Müller secured the Ladies Trophy in the BMW 325i from Eifelkind Racing. Second place in the finale was not enough for Manthey Racing to win the NLS Speed Trophy. Even though it did not start, the Porsche 911 GT3 R #4 from Falken Motorsports took the top car classification. Exciting fight for the last victory of the dayMercedes-AMG Team Landgraf celebrated its maiden victory in the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series at the season finale. Lucas Auer and Mikaël Grenier started from pole position to take the victory. The Mercedes-AMG duo led the field for 20 laps. Grenier and Morris Schuring, who shared the Porsche 911 GT3 R from Manthey-Racing with Ayhancan Güven, were separated by 32.034 seconds at the finish line. However, it was still close at the beginning of the last stint. Not only was this the first victory for Landgraf, but Grenier and Auer were also standing at the top of the podium for the first time. Grenier also celebrated the first victory for a Canadian in the 48-year history of the championship. Marek Böckmann, Nico Bastian and Adam Christodoulou, who were driving the PROsport Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT3, celebrated third place. “That was a very smooth race for us from qualifying to the chequered flag,” said Grenier. ”My first stint was a bit tricky in traffic and I had some problems keeping the pace because I was driving cautiously. In the end, we had a perfect strategy, which was the foundation for our victory today.” Schuring was pleased with the podium finish on his debut: ‘I'm very satisfied with my first race with the legendary Porsche 911 GT3 R ’Grello'. In the end, I had some bad luck with a Code 60 phase, in which, unlike Mikaël, I lost time because he was still able to pass through before the flags were shown. Otherwise, it might have been exciting again.” Bastian was also pleased with the second podium finish in a row: ”It's fantastic to end the season in third place. Especially for the team, this is very important with a view to the coming season. And the guys from PROSport have done a great job after the last few races were not quite optimal. The victory also goes to the crew.” The Up2Race celebrated a dream debut in the SP9. The team with which Timo Glock earned his Nordschleife permit fielded an Audi R8 LMS GT3 for the first time. Pierre Lemmerz, Philippe Charlaix and Michel Albers took victory in the Am class at the first attempt. The Pro-Am class went to Michael Heimrich, Arno Klasen and Sascha Steinhardt, who also drove an Audi R8 LMS GT3 for équipe vitesse. The champions of the 2024 season will be crowned on December 14 at the Bitburger Event Center at the Nürburgring during the big 'Night of Champions'. A week later, the Digital Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie will start the winter season 24/25 with the first of four races.

The ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie was voted the best national racing series of 2024 by readers of the German car magazine sport auto. In the context of the 'sport auto Awards', the Nordschleife championship, which has been held since 1977, received the most of the almost 10,000 votes cast. The DTM and the ADAC GT Masters were among the other series to be voted for. At the festive awards ceremony on the evening of November 13, 2024, VLN Sports Director Christian Vormann accepted the award from Michael Samak, Board Member Markets and Revenues at Motor Presse Stuttgart, and Sport-Auto Editor-in-Chief Marcus Schurig. “Due to the tense situation in our dispute with the race track operator last winter, we had fewer appointments than usual in 2024 and, in addition, a significantly shorter period of preparation,” says Vormann. ”It's overwhelming that the fans are honoring our efforts to maintain Nordschleife racing in the usual way in this way.” Mike Jäger, who was unable to attend the award ceremony due to a VLN shareholders' meeting taking place at the same time, adds: “My sincere thanks go to the readers of Sport Auto who voted for us. Personally, I am very pleased that we had the fans on our side even in this difficult year. Of course, thanks are also due to the entire team behind the VLN, our motivated staff at the office and at the events, the organizing clubs, our participants and partners, and a large number of helpers and service providers. Everyone has fought side by side with us to put together an attractive racing season for 2024 despite all the imponderables – including a direct competitor – and to communicate this positively to the outside world. This is a great motivation for everyone to continue on the chosen path.” The ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie had already won awards from 2014 to 2019, when it was still known as the 'VLN Endurance Championship Nürburgring'. At the time, the category was called 'Best National Mass Sports Series'. The grand finale of the 2024 season takes place this Saturday. The 56th ADAC Barbarossapreis will not only decide the championship title, but many other classifications are still open. Admission tickets are available from 22 euros (children up to 14 years of age are admitted free of charge).

The season finale of the ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie will make history in more ways than one. The tradition-rich Nordschleife championship will conclude its 2024 racing season on November 16, unusually late. Nevertheless, a diverse field of participants is getting ready to take on the Green Hell one more time this year. The championship decision is also at the center of attention. Can the Adrenalin Motorsport Team Mainhattan Wheels turn the tide again? Or will the championship leaders from AVIA W&S Motorsport seal the deal and win the first championship title for Porsche in the NLS? The provisional entry list for the 56th ADAC Barbarossapreis includes 85 entries. “We are very satisfied with the quality of the field. There are some great cars in the line-up and we are in for a thrilling race,” says NLS Director of Motorsport Christian Vormann. “Quantitatively, of course, the number of entries does not meet our expectations. But that was clear to us after we were assigned this late date.” What Vormann describes as “great vehicles” makes the hearts of motorsport fans beat faster. After ten years, Dörr Motorsport is finally bringing a McLaren back to the Nordschleife. Ben Dörr shares the cockpit of his 720S GT3 EVO, with which he made his DTM debut this year, with Marvin Kirchhöfer. PROsport-Racing is entering an Aston Martin Vantage GT3 with a professional line-up for the first time. Marek Böckmann, Nico Bastian and Adam Christodoulou will take turns at the wheel of the British supercar. For the first time, Up2Race will field an Audi R8 LMS GT3 for Pierre Lemmerz and Philippe Charlaix. The team, in whose BMW M240i Racing ex-Formula 1 star Timo Glock obtained his Nordschleife license, is happy to take on the new challenge. With next year in mind, 'Grello' will return to the Nordschleife one more time. The Porsche 911 GT3 R from Manthey Racing will be driven by Ayhancan Güven and Morris Schuring. For the 19-year-old Dutchman, it will be his first race with a GT3 car on the Nordschleife. “When I was asked if I wanted to drive ‘Grello’, I didn't have to think about it for a second. This is really something special,” says Schuring. A victory would see him follow in his father's footsteps. In 2015, Gerwin Schuring won the season finale, which was shortened due to fog, in a Porsche Cup car. “Of course, it would be fantastic if I could also do well there and continue the tradition,” says Morris Schuring. Mercedes-AMG Team Landgraf will also be competing again to cover a few more Nordschleife kilometers at the end of the year. The Mercedes-AMG GT3 is strongly fielded with the two performance drivers Lucas Auer and Mikaël Grenier. Scherer Sport PHX will also be taking advantage of this fact. Frank Stippler and Markus Winkelhock will take turns at the wheel of the Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO 2. Meanwhile, Team ADVAN x HRT will contest the final Nordschleife race with the Mercedes-AMG GT3. Dennis Fetzer, Finn Wiebelhaus and Salman Owega will reach for the stars one more time before the team from the industrial park at the Nürburgring switches to the Ford Mustang GT3 next year. Showdown for the championshipIn addition to the fight for the last victory of the year, the focus is also on the championship decision. After the bad luck of the championship leaders Joshua Bednarski, Lucas Daugaard and Moritz Oberheim, who were unable to compete in the Porsche Cayman of AVIA W&S Motorsport after an accident during Friday's test, the decision will now be made at the finale. “Our goal is to win the NLS championship after taking the title in the Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring,” says team manager Patrick Wagner. With their fifth victory in the seventh race, Sven Markert, Ranko Mijatovic and Toby Goodman kept their title chances alive in the BMW M240i Racing of the Adrenalin Motorsport Team Mainhattan Wheels. “Of course, it would be incredibly nice if we were actually able to defend the title in the final race,” says team manager Matthias Unger. “However, it's still out of our hands and we'll have to wait and see what the competition does.” The match point lies with AVIA. The trio currently has 90 points on the credit side. Adrenalin can catch up on the missing 15 points with another victory. If they succeed, Markert, Mijatovic and Goodman would draw level. Then the number of victories will decide the championship. In this case, Bednarski, Daugaard and Oberheim would also have to win their class in order to be at the top according to the rules that apply when there is a tie. Tickets are available for 22 euros (children up to 14 years of age are admitted free of charge). This includes access to the open grandstands on the Grand Prix circuit, the exclusive Brünnchen and Pflanzgarten spectator areas, the paddock, the pit lane, the starting grid and the ring°werk motorsport experience museum. Positions on the starting grid will be determined between 8:30 and 10 am. During the pit walk starting at 10:20 a.m. and the visit to the starting grid starting at 11:10 a.m., fans will experience motorsport up close.

Thrills and goosebumps at the Nürburgring: this year's Race4Friends was once again a unique day for 890 people with mental or physical disabilities. Speedy taxi laps conjured up pure joy on their faces. Thanks to the voluntary commitment of organizers, helpers and photographers, drivers with their racing cars and the Nürburgring, the event was once again an extraordinary experience with unforgettable memories for everyone involved. From the moment you got into the car to the home stretch, the emotions were tangible. Even the cool November weather, with light rain and fog, could not stop the participants and volunteer drivers from transforming the heart of the Nürburgring into a place full of joy. Accompanied by a well-rehearsed team, the first laps on the Grand Prix circuit started in the early morning hours. By the evening, the stream of 100 racing cars, which were parked bumper to bumper in the pit lane, repeatedly ready to go for their passengers, did not stop. On and off the race track, many #HeartRace moments were created thanks to the support of 120 drivers, 200 helpers and 300 companions. In the pits, everything from sandwiches to a hot lunch was available to satisfy every appetite. A DJ provided the background music and the police dog unit thrilled visitors with demonstrations of their skills. Also in the thick of the action: the Nürburgring mascot Legend, who was available for countless souvenir photos.“Our event thrives on the joy and enthusiasm we give to people,” emphasizes Christoph Brune, head of organization and 1st chairman of Race4Friends e.V. ‘That is our motivation and at the same time our greatest reward.’ Since 2010, the association has been organizing the event every year, offering people with disabilities unique motorsport experiences. This is made possible by the support of numerous volunteers and partners. This year, the Nürburgring once again provided the entire infrastructure, including the race track and pit facilities, as well as the track security and staff, free of charge. The “Beast of the Green Hell”, the Mercedes-AMG GT R PRO of the Nürburgring Driving Academy, was also used as a fast taxi. “We are proud to have supported this special event in so many ways for years,” explains Nürburgring Managing Director Christian Stephani. ”The joy that can be felt among everyone involved shows how much positive impact can be achieved together. That cannot be bought with any currency in the world. It's unique.”

Christopher Gerhard celebrated his first victory with Nathalie Solbach-Schmidt in the hot seat of the ŠKODA Fabia R5 at the ADAC Rallye Köln-Ahrweiler. The numerous spectators witnessed the most exciting edition of the Rallye Köln-Ahrweiler in recent years. Four different teams were able to sign the list of SS winners. “The fog yesterday evening was really bad, I had a hard time even to continue driving at all. So we started the second day with a huge deficit. It was a real challenge to assess the risk correctly and still come out ahead safely,” explained a happy Christopher Gerhard at the finish. ”The Rallye Köln-Ahrweiler is something special and follows its own rules. Here we are competing against teams with whom we normally do not compete for places.” After around 150 special stage kilometers, the lead over the runners-up, Colin Dünker and his co-pilot Jonas Decker (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 4), was exactly 41.0 seconds. The youngster, who finished eighth last year, was very satisfied: “We didn't expect that! We had problems with the car and were still working on it until 3:00 p.m. yesterday. A big thank you to the entire team, who kept working on it until the end – without them we wouldn't have made it.” The Luxembourger celebrated his best result at the Rallye Köln-Ahrweiler Yann Munhowen, who brought Luc Kalmes in the hot seat in a BMW M3 E30. “I've competed here quite a few times before, but fourth place was my best result so far, so I'm absolutely delighted with third place!”Jonas Tischner was unlucky: he was still in the lead until the eighth stage, but had to retire his BMW M3 with a driveshaft failure on the eleventh stage. Record-breaking winner Georg Berlandy had already retired after the previous stage due to technical problems with his BMW. The international field of participants further enriched the event: the Danes Michael Sørensen and Mie Aagaard Johansen crossed the ramp into the Nürburgring paddock in fourth place. Felix Schumann and Hans-Peter Loth, who competed in a Renault Clio Rallye4, also contributed to the brand diversity. This meant that vehicles from five different brands were represented in the top five places. Yann Munhowen wins the YOUNGTIMER Gold Cup After having to admit defeat by a narrow margin in second place last year, Yann Munhowen and co-driver Luc Kalmes were able to take thespecial classification for historic vehicles for themselves.In their debut at the Rallye Köln-Ahrweiler, Florian Feustel / Katrin Becker were pleased with second place in the youngtimers in their Porsche 911 RSR. With Simon Baales/Florian Rath it was another BMW team in the 318is which completed the top 3. Positive conclusion of the organizers“This year again, we were able to offer first-class motorsport at the end of the season with the Rallye Köln-Ahrweiler again offer first-class motorsport. Our heartfelt thanks go to the many fans who, despite the persistent fog, once again made the event a true rally celebration,” says Hans-Werner Hilger, organizer of the organizing Scuderia Augustusburg Brühl. ”Without the numerous helpers, the support of our sponsors and the cooperation with authorities and local communities, an event of this kind would not be possible.” “We are already looking forward to the 2025 edition, which is planned for November 7-8, 2025.” Clerk of the Course Peter Krieger was also satisfied: ”Once again, we had a starting field of over 70 competition vehicles! It is particularly pleasing that 56 vehicles eventually crossed the ramp at the Nürburgring and mastered the challenge of around 150 special stage kilometers.” Unfortunately, there were some accidents, but luckily everyone involved is fine.
