Overview
- ADAC Nordrhein publicly announced the ADAC 24H Nürburgring Series on Monday, July 27, 2026, and published a provisional 2027 calendar that adds a Prologue and ties the 24h Qualifiers, Nürburgring 24, ADAC Eifelrennen and ADAC 1000km into a single championship.
- All rounds are planned to run to the 24H Nürburgring technical and sporting regulations on the full 24‑hour Nordschleife layout, with the Prologue set for April and the flagship 24h Nürburgring scheduled for late May 2027.
- ADAC is offering concrete incentives to draw teams, including reduced entry fees for series registrants, guaranteed starting places at the N24 and expected prize money for the additional races to encourage teams to commit to the full package.
- The move directly challenges the established Nürburgring Langstrecken‑Serie, which has publicly opposed ADAC’s initiative, and leaves open how calendars, sanctioning and final regulations will be reconciled between organisers.
- The launch reflects wider Eifel politics and past legal fights over Nürburgring control dating back to 2023 and 2024, and the series’ success will depend on whether teams, marshals and commercial partners shift away from the NLS toward ADAC’s unified preparation pathway.
