A perfect start for the defending champion: on Thursday evening, the #1 Scherer Audi made the first major statement at the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring 2025. Christopher Haase set the fastest lap of the day with a time of 8:10.580 minutes, securing a dominant entry into Friday’s Top Qualifying session (starting at 1:20 p.m.) for the completely new driver line-up. Haase had already been the fastest driver on the track during the first qualifying session in the early afternoon and managed to improve his time by nearly four seconds in the evening. "Christopher went out right at the beginning when the track was clear. That lap was just superb," said teammate Luca Ludwig. The driver trio is completed by Markus Winkelhock. In addition to the #1 Scherer Audi, two Lamborghinis, one Aston Martin, and the #16 Scherer Porsche secured the remaining five open spots for the Top Qualifying on Thursday. Twelve cars had already pre-qualified. Italy’s Marco Mapelli and South African Jordan Pepper put the Abt Lamborghinis #28 and #27 into the shootout for pole position. Also securing coveted Top Qualifying slots were Italy’s Mattia Drudi in the #34 Walkenhorst Aston Martin and Laurens Vanthoor in the #16 Porsche from Scherer PHX. This first highlight of the weekend — where the Glickenhaus Trophy will also be awarded to the pole-sitter — can be watched live starting at 1:00 p.m. on RTL+ and from 1:15 p.m. via the livestream at www.24h-rennen.de/live. On-site, the Nürburgring Nordschleife is already well attended under summery weather conditions, but there’s still room for last-minute fans. Tickets are available at the open box offices and digitally throughout the event weekend at https://www.24h-rennen.de/ticketbestellung/. After the third qualifying session (4:15–5:45 p.m.) and the second race of the Touring Car Legends (6:30–6:55 p.m.), the Nürburgring will be all about the fans. First, drifting artists from Falken and Monster will visit spectators along the Nordschleife in a parade lap before showcasing their skills during the traditional Falken Drift Show at the Müllenbachschleife. At the same time, a pit walk through the pit lane including an autograph session with the drivers will take place. The race weekend had already begun on Wednesday evening with the comeback of the Adenau Racing Day, which had been canceled last year to the disappointment of many loyal motorsport fans due to roadworks in the town center of the racing city. In front of a large crowd of fans, a colorful parade of around 30 race cars from various classes wound its way down the main street towards the city center and the big show stage at the marketplace, where hosts Olli Martini and Patrick Simon were already waiting to introduce the drivers and teams.

Kevin Estre has secured pole position in the ‘Grello’ at the 53rd running of the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring. The 36-year-old Frenchman was also the fastest in the #911 Manthey Porsche on Friday in the battle for the final grid positions in top qualifying. With a time of 8:12.741 minutes, he was almost 1.2 seconds faster than Thomas Neubauer in the #45 Rinaldi-Ferrari, who completed an all-French front row in 8:13.909 minutes. Estre thus secured the Glickenhaus Trophy for the pole man for the first time, which will be handed over tomorrow before the start of the race. Three-time fastest driver in practice, Maro Engel, finished third this time in the #14 Getspeed Mercedes-AMG (8:14.233 minutes). For Manthey, the pole position of the ‘Grello’ is a perfect starting position to crown himself the sole record winner again with a possible eighth overall victory. Estre: ‘Did my job’"There's nothing better than driving a lap of the Nordschleife alone in the “Grello”, with new tyres and no traffic. It's incredible,‘ said Kevin Estre: ’I'm really looking forward to the weekend. We have great conditions, maybe a bit too warm for the tyres, but good for the fans. We'll let Thomas Preining drive the start tomorrow, I've done my job for the weekend." Six different manufacturers in the top eight placesThomas Neubauer was not entirely satisfied: "It was a very good qualifying session for us, but I'm a little disappointed. Second place makes you a bit of a loser. But of course, second place is still a very good result for us. We have worked very hard over the past few months. But the main focus is on tomorrow, on the race." Maro Engel explained: "It hasn't been an easy weekend for us so far. The team has done a very good job and given me a very good car. Nevertheless, the gap to the front is bigger than we would like it to be. But anything is certainly possible from third place. Being at the front also minimises the risk at the start." In total, there are three different brands in the top three positions and, with one Lamborghini, Audi and Aston Martin each, six in the top eight grid positions. Red flag after Laurens Vanthoor's accidentLaurens Vanthoor caused a major scare and a red flag. The Belgian, who had only managed to get his team into top qualifying at the last minute on Thursday evening, lost control of the #16 Scherer Porsche on his first flying lap in the Aremberg area and crashed into the crash barrier at high speed. After a check-up at the Medical Centre, the doctors treating the driver gave the all-clear for the time being, but the car is no longer operational and will not take part in the race. Top qualifying was restarted at 16:00 after a longer break and repair work on the crash barrier. Qualifying 3 then started, in which the final grid positions were determined from the ninth row onwards. Tickets still availableWhen the starting grid for the 24h Nürburgring is drawn on Saturday, the ‘race of the year’ can finally get underway at 16:00. But before the 136 participants embark on the spectacular fight through the day and this time the shortest night, a varied programme awaits the spectators at the Nürburgring. The thrilling motorsport on the track starts at 9.00 am with the ADAC 24h-Classic. After the warm-up for the main race at 12.20 pm, the touring car legends will contest their third race of the weekend at 1.20 pm. Tickets are still available at the box offices and digitally here. Comprehensive live reports on NITRO, YouTube and the 24h homepageIf you want to follow the action at the Ring from home, free TV partner NITRO is the right place to go, starting its 28-hour non-stop live broadcast at 13:00 and aiming to extend its own world record on the occasion of the tenth anniversary at the Ring.

The ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring is transforming the region around the legendary race track into a party zone this week. Since Monday (June 16), the forests around the Ring have been open for camping, and by the time the first wheels start turning on Corpus Christi (Thursday, June 19), tens of thousands will have set up camp there to create a festival atmosphere that is already legendary. After the qualifying days on Thursday and Friday, the 141 participants will be ready to go on Saturday (June 21) at 4:00 p.m. Then the exciting question will be whether the favored Porsche 911 GT3 R will prevail or one of the other eight brands represented in the top class. Anyone who wants to experience this spectacular battle at the Ring live can secure their ticket online at any time during the event. For the first time, the 24h is offering the option of saving your ticket on your mobile device, so you no longer need to make a detour to the box office, which is open on all event days. The battle for the 53rd overall victory at the season's highlight on the Nordschleife will be fiercer than ever this year: the largest starting field since 2019 is divided into a total of 20 classes. Around 450 drivers from 34 nations will attempt the endurance test on the world's longest race track. Among them are 27 GT3 cars, which are likely to battle it out for victory. The size of the leading group alone indicates that it will be a tough fight, and the top teams are fielding excellent driver line-ups across the board. Everyone is chasing PorscheAfter a series of victories in all the preparatory races in the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) and the 24h Qualifiers, the Porsche teams are considered the favorites. Falken Motorsports, Manthey EMA, and Scherer PHX secured these victories and now find themselves in the role of the hunted. Some of the hunters come from their own stable – in the form of last year's winning Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II from Scherer PHX. Other top teams are relying on other brands: BMW (Rowe), Mercedes-AMG (GetSpeed), Aston Martin (Walkenhorst), Ford (HRT), Realize Kondo (Ferrari), and Abt (Lamborghini) are the frontrunners, with other teams just waiting for their chance to take overall victory. The 24-hour weekend promises plenty of motorsport entertainmentThere will be plenty of other motorsport excitement at the 24h Nürburgring, because in addition to the battle for overall victory, winner's trophies will be awarded in 19 other, often fiercely contested classes. The sporting support program also promises exciting entertainment. The traditional performance test of the Rundstrecken Challenge Nürburgring (RCN) will kick off the action on Thursday morning. The touring car legends and the Cup and Touring Car Trophy will offer five races from Thursday to Saturday. Another absolute highlight will be the ADAC 24h Classic, in which the starting field is completely booked out with the maximum possible number of 210 historic vehicles. Full program – also off the trackThe gigantic fan program will also ensure that the expected 200,000 visitors are well entertained. The weekend will get underway on Wednesday (June 15) at 4:00 p.m. with the Adenauer Racing Day. The racing town on the Ring will then host autograph sessions, a parade of race cars, driver interviews, and much more. On Thursday, the fan zone on the ring°boulevard will open, along with the many attractions around the RAVENOL Ferris wheel in the paddock. On Friday evening, the Falken Drift Show in the Müllenbachschleife and the big 24-hour autograph session with the opportunity to walk the pit lane and track at the start/finish line are on the program starting at 7:30 p.m. Many more fan offers can be found in the fan schedule here. Even more service: simplified ticket procedure, WhatsApp channel for visitorsThe 24h Nürburgring is one of the largest motorsport events in Germany – 240,000 fans flocked to the Eifel region last race weekend. To give you an even better experience, the organizers have further improved their fan service. A new WhatsApp channel provides information about parking and camping availability as well as important visitor news as soon as you arrive. Also important to know: All tickets purchased in advance will be exchanged for a visitor wristband at all entrances on site. This means that there is no longer any need to make a detour to the box office, saving you from having to wait in line.

When it's time for the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring, many visitors consider it a trip to heaven in the (green) hell: for a week, the race track is firmly in the hands of horsepower enthusiasts, who transform the usually tranquil forests into a gigantic camping area. Last year, 240,000 visitors were counted during the four days of the festival, many of whom traditionally put in a lot of their own effort to turn their camping “claims” into a small fan paradise. Visitors can also look forward to many other attractions to enhance their visit – from a ride on the Ferris wheel, which title sponsor RAVENOL is having built in the paddock, to the drift show on Friday evening in the Müllenbachschleife. Of course, there will also be plenty of opportunities to meet the protagonists themselves: autograph sessions, panel discussions, and pit walks are among the regular fixtures. If you don't want to miss anything and would like to receive important visitor information, subscribe to the new WhatsApp fan channel, where the organizers also provide information on the traffic situation and campsite occupancy. As always, the official fan offers are concentrated around the start/finish area. Fans should not miss a stroll along the fan mile on the ring°boulevard. Many companies and partners will be there to invite visitors to take a ride in a racing seat, provide information about their services, exhibit exciting vehicles, and offer a whole range of attractions. On Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m., there will even be a world premiere, as Volkswagen will be presenting its brand-new anniversary model at the Nürburgring – the VW Golf GTI Edition 50! Many attractions also await in the paddockOf course, a stroll through the paddock is also a must. This is where the teams, tire suppliers, and their service crews are at work, and where you can meet race drivers, team bosses, and other exciting participants in this mega-event. But there are also two important areas that are particularly aimed at fans: On the helipad (next to the medical center), a catering area with numerous offerings has been set up in the shadow of the RAVENOL Ferris wheel. A relaxation zone with seating and a large video wall invite you to linger. Mercedes-AMG is running its fan base here with many offerings, and Monster Energy is even setting up its own action area with drift demonstrations. The Monster DJ will provide music. Incidentally, on Friday and Saturday, you can do something very meaningful and register as a stem cell donor free of charge at the DKMS typing campaign! Next door, on the “multi-area,” there are other industry partners, manufacturers, and racing services to discover. It's also worth making the trip because the 24h Classic paddock zone is right next door in the Mercedes-AMG Arena, where you can admire the amazing historic vehicles up close. At the start of the paddock, opposite the gas station and technical inspection, you'll also find the “Hospi Zone.” This is where some of the larger partners are located and several car manufacturers are showcasing interesting vehicles. On tour around the RingStarting on Thursday, a shuttle service will be available for visitors, connecting the most important spectator areas on the Nordschleife with the Grand Prix circuit at regular intervals. One of the buses will already be running on Wednesday from the Pflanzgarten and Brünnchen spectator areas to Adenau and back approximately every half hour. And of course, the racing town on the Ring is worth a visit on all event days. Melanie Koch's REWE supermarket at the entrance to the town is one of the most important supply points for fans and has extra-long opening hours and lots of great offers and promotions for visitors during the race week. First highlight of the long 24-hour week: Adenauer Racing DayFrom 8:00 a.m. on Monday morning, the camping sites around the Nordschleife will be opened to visitors, and from then on, a stream of fans will pour into the Eifel region. Those who arrive early can stop by the paddock on Tuesday, where technical inspections of the competition vehicles will begin at noon. On Wednesday, Adenauer Racing Day in the center of the racing town on the Ring will kick off the official program. Starting at 4:00 p.m., there will be lots of information, meet-and-greets, and autograph opportunities with the drivers and their vehicles. Race car driver Christopher Haase will provide a highlight himself. He is known for driving the #1 Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II from Scherer Sport PHX with Luca Ludwig, which won the 24h Nürburgring last year. However, he is coming to Adenau with a rare Mercedes-Benz 190 16V, which he would like to have signed by Klaus Ludwig. This is because Haase's teammate's famous father will be driving the Racing Day in one of the two reissued HWA Evos, which fans in Adenau will be able to admire and which will be on display in the paddock for the rest of the weekend. Racing driver Vincent Kolb also has some special automotive souvenirs with him: he will be showing two Audi R8 LMS cars from his collection in Adenau, both of which have won the 24-hour race. They will be on display at the ring°boulevard over the weekend. It's racing time from Thursday!On Thursday morning, the RCN performance test will take over the wake-up call at the Nordschleife at 8:15 a.m., and from then on there will be non-stop action on the race track. The first two qualifying sessions for the 24-hour race at noon and in the evening are, of course, a must, and the evening practice session until 11:30 p.m. will give you that real endurance feeling for the first time. Friday evening is fan timeOn Friday afternoon, the top qualifying session marks the sporting highlight of the day, before the third qualifying session in the afternoon determines the starting positions in the 20 race classes of the starting field. Once all 24-hour teams know their starting positions and drivers and teams are making their final preparations for the start of the big race on Saturday, it's time for the fans to shine. The event kicks off with selected drift artists from Falken and Monster, who will take to the Nordschleife at 6:00 p.m. for an extra lap and show off their skills at the main spectator points. From there, they will head straight to the Müllenbachschleife, where the Falken Drift Show will start at 7:30 p.m. Parallel to this horsepower party, the gate to the pit lane will open at the start/finish line, and fans are invited to take part in a track walk and pit walk. During the big autograph session, the drivers will wait for fans in front of each pit and look forward to signing countless autographs and taking selfies. A last friendly breather before the big day! Starting Saturday, the race will be the center of attention twice around the clockFrom Saturday at 4 p.m., there will be only one thing on everyone's mind: the 24h Nürburgring and the question of who will come out on top in the marathon. However, the time until then will not be boring: in the morning, the ADAC 24h Classic with 210 starters will provide top entertainment, and after race 3 of the touring car legends, the traditional countdown to the start will begin. Parades on the Nordschleife, the presentation of the Glickenhaus Cup to the pole-setter, and finally the formation lap will then finally signal the start of the 24-hour race.

Not even on the market yet and already a record holder: racing driver Benny Leuchter drives the new Golf GTI EDITION 50 around the Ring in 07:46:13 minutes. A new record – because never before has a VW with road approval been faster at the Nürburgring. All record drives and further information Onboard through the Green HellThe record lap of the Golf GTI EDITION 50 is now available on the Nürburgring YouTube channel. The onboard footage from the cockpit of the vehicle offers the opportunity to relive this fantastic lap. Information about the official “Nürburgring record laps”The following principle applies to all drives: one track, one complete lap, one time – according to uniform standards. In addition to timekeeping with calibrated measuring technology, official record attempts and attempts to achieve a lap time are always accompanied by a notary. In addition to monitoring the timekeeping, the vehicle is also inspected. TÜV Rheinland checks for standard conformity and documents this. The exact length of the track and the start and finish lines are precisely defined. A full lap of the Nordschleife is driven and measured with a flying start (20.8 kilometers). The vehicle categories for record drives and official lap times at the Nürburgring are divided into different segments by the Federal Motor Transport Authority and specially defined special classes.

From August 1st to 3rd, 2025, the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix invites visitors to an exciting and diverse journey through motorsport history. Held at the Nürburgring, the event offers highlights such as spectacular races featuring Formula 1 legends and Group C, IMSA, and CanAm sports car prototypes. Touring car fans will enjoy races with historic DRM and DTM vehicles, and for the first time, a race reserved for Super Touring Cars as well as the brand-new Porsche Classic Cup. Rare treasures will also appear in races featuring early F1 and Grand Prix cars from the HGPCA, and in the invitational race for stunning sports cars and GTs built up to 1971. Touring cars, GTs, and formula vehicles will showcase a fascinating spectrum, ranging from pre-war automotive pioneers to modern sports cars. Historic motorcycles will also take to the track, enriching the 2025 OGP program. Classic fans can look forward to the return of Formula 1 cars, alongside long-standing highlights at the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix. The British Masters Racing Legends will contest two championship races at the Ring, taking fans back to the era of the legendary Cosworth DFV engines. Between 1966 and 1985, drivers like Jackie Stewart, Emerson Fittipaldi, and Niki Lauda competed in these cars. As the organizers point out, this was a time when “creative car designers could win races long before wind tunnels and energy drinks were invented.” Another emotional highlight for motorsport and historic fans is the second Masters Series, dedicated to sports car legends from 1982 to 1993. The newly introduced Masters Group C is open to Group C and IMSA vehicles—icons such as the Porsche 962, Mazda 787B, Lancia LC2, and Toyota 87C will return to the track. Living Formula HistoryThe predecessors of the Cosworth F1 era will also be present at the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix. The British HGPCA will showcase front-engine monoposti, transporting fans back to the early days of Formula 1, first held in 1950. Cars like the Maserati 250F and Ferrari 246 Dino represent the automotive icons of that time. German Formula history is also honored in the ADAC Graf Berghe von Trips Trophy, featuring Formula 3 cars from the 1970s and 1980s. DTM, STW, DRM: Motorsport History "Made in Germany"The touring car races, which revive Germany’s glorious motorsport past, are fan favorites. The DRM revival features thrilling action from cars like the BMW M1, BMW 2002, Ford Escort, Turbo Capris, Porsche 935, and 911. Also popular are the touring cars of the "Golden Era", showcasing many beloved vehicles from the most memorable DTM years. The organizers are also adding more excitement: for the first time, there will be a race exclusively for STW cars. Additionally, the Golden Era Classic Cup makes its debut, recalling the history of the Porsche Carrera Cup. Talks with many legendary drivers are already underway, promising that the tradition of DTM and STW reunions at the Oldtimer Grand Prix will not only continue but expand. The Most Beautiful Classics: The Emotional Highlight of the EventA standout moment of the weekend is the race for two-seater sports and GT cars built up to 1971, held on Saturday evening. As twilight falls, this race recalls scenes once seen at Le Mans and other endurance classics. The exclusive field in this invitational event presents a parade of some of the most beautiful race cars ever made. When the headlights flash on, spectators will be transported back to the era when Aston Martins, Bizzarinis, Elvas, Ferraris, Jaguars, Lotuses, and Porsches fought for glory at La Sarthe. Touring cars, GTs, and sports cars complying with FIA Appendix K will compete in other races: the Historic Championship ’65 for older vehicles and its sister series for cars up to 1981—Europe's largest historic racing series, where the German Historic Automobile Champion title is also awarded. Points also count toward the Historic Championship for CanAm & Sportscars, which returns again. This lineup includes everything from the Ford “Dogbone” Escort to the mighty McLaren M8F with eight-liter displacement—a visual and acoustic treat for fans. To connect with modern racing, the FCD Racing Series, organized by the Ferrari Club Deutschland, is part of the event—its Ferrari-filled grid a dream for fans of the Italian marque. Historic Motorcycles, Pre-War Racers, and Much MoreThe program is rounded off with events beyond racing. As tradition dictates, pre-war race cars will participate in the Vintage Sports Car Trophy—non-competitive but thoroughly engaging for history enthusiasts. These rare machines will be stationed in the Nürburgring’s historic paddock, which dates back 100 years and serves as an authentic backdrop. Also housed there are special guests: historic motorcycles from the "Grab The Flag" association. Dozens of machines are expected, and will be seen in “Test on Track” demo runs. This marks a return to the Oldtimer Grand Prix's roots—historic motorcycles were already present at the very first event in 1973. Additional driving events, such as the Friday Track Day on the Nordschleife, and the Motor Klassik reader races, further enrich the experience. Top-brand clubs in the Mercedes Arena and gatherings of other clubs around the Grand Prix track parking areas add even more historic flair to the event.
