The Nürburgring delivered a GT World event to remember this weekend (28–30 August). Headlined by the GT World Challenge powered by AWS Endurance Cup, the long-running meeting in the Eifel mountains drew 28,000 spectators to experience a full schedule of entertainment on the circuit and activities in the open paddock. The fans saw champions crowned on Sunday afternoon as Mercedes-AMG Team Mann-Filter completed its mission to clinch the Endurance Cup on home turf. Fourth place was enough to put the drivers' title beyond doubt for Maro Engel, Lucas Auer and Luca Stolz, cementing their status among the elite of global GT racing. The star of the three-hour race was the #7 Comtoyou Racing Aston Martin, which was in full control from start to finish. The Belgian squad came to the Nürburgring knowing that victory was essential to keep its title hopes alive and its trio of Nicki Thiim, Marco Sørensen and Mattia Drudi executed perfectly from pole.It was not quite enough to take the fight to the finale at Portimão, but the win was a fitting reward for a peerless performance. Team WRT claimed the runner-up spot with its #32 BMW, followed by Mercedes-AMG Team Verstappen Racing which claimed its first-ever Endurance Cup podium just a few weeks after earning a maiden Sprint Cup triumph. Tresor Attempto Racing took Gold Cup victory after Dylan Pereira seized the class lead during the final hour. The #99 Audi was a factor from the very beginning, first with Alex Aka and then Alex Frassineti at the wheel. The battle for the Gold Cup crown will go to Portimão with several crews still firmly in the hunt. The Silver Cup has been settled. Team WRT wrapped up the title with its #30 BMW crew of Matisse Lismont, Ignacio Montenegro and Amaury Cordeel, who led much of the race but finished second after a late charge from HRT Ford Racing. This marked the first GT World Challenge class victory for the Mustang GT3 thanks to the crew of Eduardo Coseteng, Nicolas Baert and Niklas Kalus – the latter making a big impression on his series debut by completing the winning overtake. The #222 2 Seas Motorsport Mercedes-AMG won the Bronze Cup class from pole, though the car lost the lead at the start and did not regain it until the final hour. The same squad won this race last year with Charles Dawson at the wheel for both; on this occasion, his victorious teammates were Kiern Jewiss and Reece Barr. The Bronze Cup teams' title has been decided in favour of Kessel Racing, which came home third in class with its #74 Ferrari despite being involved in a Turn 1 incident. The drivers' fight will be resolved at Portimão. In addition to the action on the track, there were plenty of activities for spectators to experience at the Nürburgring. They were brought closer to the competitors with pit walks organised on Saturday and Sunday, as well as a pre-race autograph session featuring the full field of drivers. The BMW M3 Touring 24H that won so many fans during this year's 24 Hours of Nürburgring was on display in the paddock, though it wasn't just a showpiece. The car ran taxi laps on Saturday and two lucky competition winners were among those to enjoy the ride of a lifetime, sitting in the passenger seat alongside BMW factory driver Max Hesse. Support race action was provided by Lamborghini Super Trofeo, the GT3 Revival Series and Mazda MX-5 Cup Benelux. The notable storylines included a title success for former GT World Challenge racer Jean-Luc Beaubelique. The Frenchman clinched the GT3 Revival Seres Pro-Am crown in his Ferrari 458, the very same car with which he claimed CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa class victory in 2013.

Two days, more than 30 exhibitors and numerous career opportunities: On Friday, 11 September, and Saturday, 12 September, the fifth edition of the "Job Fair powered by Nürburgring” will take place. From 10:00 am to 04:00 pm on both days, companies and institutions will present their career and training opportunities at the ring°boulevard. The exhibitors range from regional companies to national employers and institutions. Among those taking part are the Bundespolizei and Bundeswehr, dm, as well as companies such as Manthey, Köllemann, Schnorpfeil and STRABAG. With Nürburgring Hotels & Ferienpark and the Nürburgring operating company, the wide range of career opportunities at the legendary racetrack and event venue will also be represented. This brings together a wide variety of professional fields on the second weekend of September – from retail, construction and technology to public-sector employers and motorsport. In addition to personal conversations at the exhibition stands, a large job wall provides a direct overview of current vacancies at the participating companies. School classes use job fair for career orientationFriday will also focus on career orientation for school students. Partner schools from the region will visit the job fair with their classes. These include Berufsbildende Schule Ahrweiler, Erich-Klausener-Gymnasium Adenau, Grund- und Realschule plus St. Martin Kelberg and Hocheifel Realschule Plus & Fachoberschule Adenau. This gives students the opportunity to talk directly to potential training companies and employers. Parking is free on Friday. Visitors attending the job fair on Saturday will receive a €5 voucher for the ring°fanshop upon presentation of their parking ticket. Motorsport action alongside the job fairVisitors can also enjoy motorsport right next door on both days of the job fair. On Friday, the teams of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie will be out on track for practice. On Saturday, things get serious: while the job fair is taking place at the ring°boulevard, the race of the ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie will start in parallel. The race livestream will also be shown on the ring°wall, which already provides the highly visible LED backdrop for the fair. This means visitors can combine their visit to the job fair with motorsport action at the Nürburgring on both days.

The GT World Challenge powered by AWS returns to action this weekend (28–30 August). A 55-car grid will chase victory at the Eifel venue, which hosts its 15th GT World Challenge event since joining the calendar in 2012. This begins a run of four rounds in eight weeks – two each for the Sprint Cup and the Endurance Cup – culminating in the season finale at Portimão in mid-October. But we may not have to wait that long to decide this year’s Endurance Cup champions, with at least one title likely to be settled in Germany. The weekend will also feature a busy support line-up consisting of Lamborghini Super Trofeo, the GT3 Revival Series and the Mazda MX-5 Cup Benelux. Off-track activities will give fans even more to see and do at the legendary German venue, with pit walks and an autograph session allowing spectators to see the cars up close and meet the drivers. The location is nothing short of spectacular, blending a rich motorsport culture with breathtaking Eifel scenery. Race previewThe Nürburgring is familiar territory for GT World Challenge. Indeed, with the exception of Spa-Francorchamps, no circuit has staged more events than the 5.1km GP-Strecke. This year’s 55-car grid features 10 manufacturers, marking the first Endurance Cup race since the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa ran at the end of June. Porsche was the big winner in the Ardennes as Lionspeed GP produced a remarkable charge from the back of the field to secure victory. Mercedes-AMG Team Mann-Filter took the runner-up spot, the squad’s third such result from as many Endurance Cup races following Circuit Paul Ricard and Monza. This result put the trio of Maro Engel, Lucas Auer and Luca Stolz in position to be crowned champions at the Nürburgring, where a finish of fourth or better will seal the title regardless of what their rivals achieve. Among the class battles, the Gold Cup is the closest contest heading to Germany with just eight points separating Garage 59 (McLaren) from ROWE Racing (BMW). Team WRT (BMW) holds a commanding advantage in Silver and is on course to secure the title with a round to spare, while Kessel Racing (Ferrari) looks well placed to defend its Bronze crown after scoring maximum points at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa. You can find the entry list here. Fan ActivationsThe Nürburgring is among the most famous and historic venues in global motorsport. As such, it is a must-visit for every fan. The surrounding area is steeped in racing culture, with memorabilia found in almost every local bar and plenty of racing-related businesses. The wider region is visually spectacular, from the verdant Eifel mountains to the imposing Nürburg castle which can be seen from the circuit. At the track, there will be plenty of opportunities to get close to the action. At 17:55 on Saturday evening, the public will be invited into the pit lane where they can watch as the teams undertake pit stop practice. There will also be an autograph session between 12:30 and 13:10 on Sunday, followed by a pit walk between 13:45 and 14:15. On display at the circuit, fans can see the BMW M3 Touring 24H which became a cult icon during this year’s Nürburgring 24 Hours. The circuit is also home to a series of merchandise stores – both modern and retro – selling a very wide variety of souvenirs. You’ll find the usual items like t-shirts, hats and stickers, as well as more unique mementos – including a toaster that leaves an imprint of the Nordschleife layout on your toast! Support RacesAs ever, there's plenty more on-track activity to look forward to during the Nürburgring weekend. Lamborghini Super Trofeo returns from its summer break with just nine points separating three crews at the top of the Pro standings. Silas Lovén Rytter and Patrik Fraboni (Oregon Team) lead Kevin Gilardoni and Simone Iaquinta (DL Racing) by seven, with Nicholas Pujatti and Benedetto Strigano (Villorba Corse) two points further back. The Eifel venue marks its 14th appearance on the Super Trofeo calendar and is sure to produce another pair of entertaining races. The GT3 Revival Series is set for its maiden appearance at the Nürburgring. Launched this year as a home for the early generations of GT3 machinery, the new championship has attracted big grids featuring some iconic cars. The Pro-Am title could be settled in Germany, with Jean-Luc Beaubelique on the cusp of closing the deal with his Ferrari 458 – which, in a previous life, scored class honours at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa. The Mazda MX-5 Cup Benelux completes the Nürburgring support line-up. Using the globally popular MX-5 platform, this one-make series is popular with young hopefuls and experienced veterans. The Nürburgring makes the fourth of six events and is the only one staged outside the Benelux region. The full timetable can be found here. TicketsTickets begin at 10€ for Friday, while Saturday entry costs 20€ and Sunday is priced at 30€.

Once the Südschleife had left the dense fir forest of the first few kilometres behind, it was laid out over the next two kilometres or so across partly marshy meadows, which first had to be painstakingly drained by staff from R. Perthel & Co. of Cologne, the company responsible for this section of the works. After a few fast bends, which took the track past one of the many quarries used for the construction, the track continued straight on for several hundred metres towards Müllenbach. There, in the immediate vicinity of the village, a difficult-to-navigate 90-degree bend was constructed, which was to prove a major challenge, particularly for motorcyclists, in the decades that followed. Shortly after this bend, at kilometre 4, a bridge was built to make the inner section of the Südschleife accessible from Müllenbach. At the same time, this underpass led to one of the three access points for tourist drives. These events, which still attract countless people to the Ring today, have in fact been held right from the start. After the bridge, the track climbed again towards the start and finish line – we will read in the next two parts what special features the track offered up to that point. ℹ️ The Nürburgring opened in 1927. As part of #Roadto100, we are looking back at various milestones in our long history in the run-up to our big anniversary year!

Calm under pressure and tactically smart: Marco Wittmann (Fürth/Schubert Motorsport) secured his 20th DTM victory on Sunday at the Nürburgring. The 36-year-old impressed with early and fast pit stops as well as clean overtaking manoeuvres. In the final third of a chaotic race, the BMW driver took the lead and secured his first DTM victory in two years. “The 20th victory means an enormous amount to me! Throughout all my years in the DTM, I have experienced many highs and lows. It feels fantastic to be fighting right at the front on our own strength. The race was chaotic at times, but I kept a cool head, even though things got really tight towards the end,” explained Wittmann. Tom Kalender (Hamm/Mercedes-AMG Team Landgraf) delivered a sensational performance: The youngster gained nine positions and celebrated the first podium finish of his DTM career in second place. Thomas Preining (A/Manthey) narrowly missed out on taking the lead in the standings with third place and is now just one point behind championship leader Maro Engel (Monaco/Mercedes-AMG Team Ravenol). The 40-year-old retired after a collision on the opening lap and therefore failed to score points for the first time in 18 DTM races. 81,000 spectators experienced a hot race weekend at the Nürburgring – with plenty of overtaking manoeuvres and hard-fought battles. Keyfacts, 12th race of the season out of 16• Pole position: Jules Gounon (Mercedes-AMG Team Mann-Filter, Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo #48), 1:25.062 minutes• Winner: Marco Wittmann (Schubert Motorsport, BMW M4 GT3 R #11)• Fastest lap: Finn Wiebelhaus (HRT Ford Racing, Ford Mustang GT3 #64), 1:25.988 minutes Shortly after the start of the 12th DTM championship race, a collision occurred at the first corner of the Nürburgring – the Safety Car was deployed. Championship leader Engel had to retire his Mercedes-AMG GT3, as did fellow Mercedes-AMG driver Lucas Auer (A/Mercedes-AMG Team Landgraf), who consequently dropped to fourth place in the standings. The race was also over for Kelvin van der Linde (ZA/Schubert Motorsport). After the restart, pole-sitter Jules Gounon (F/Mercedes-AMG Team Mann-Filter) led ahead of Ben Dörr (Butzbach/Dörr Motorsport) and Matteo Cairoli (I/Emil Frey Racing). Wittmann had moved up one position to fourth and took second place behind Gounon after an early pit stop. Dörr retired with an incorrectly fitted rear tyre, while Cairoli dropped far down the order after a weak mandatory pit stop. Preining also benefited from this and moved up to third. Shortly afterwards, Wittmann took the lead in the BMW M4 GT3 Evo as Gounon had to serve a Penalty Lap for exceeding the speed limit in the pit lane, losing several positions in the process. After the second tyre change, Wittmann and Preining defended their positions. Kalender, on the other hand, opted for a late stop and returned to the track in fifth place on fresh Pirelli slicks. With skilful overtaking manoeuvres, the 18-year-old fought his way up to third place. The Mercedes-AMG driver then attacked Preining and passed the Austrian one lap before the finish. Kalender even managed to close the gap to the leading Wittmann – but after 39 turbulent laps, Wittmann crossed the finish line first. Behind Wittmann, Kalender and Preining, Arjun Maini (IND/HRT Ford Racing) and Mirko Bortolotti (I/TGI Team by GRT) finished fourth and fifth respectively in the Lamborghini Temerario GT3. Luca Engstler (Kempten/Red Bull Team Abt) took sixth place in another Lamborghini. Aston Martin works driver Nicki Thiim (DK/Comtoyou Racing) moved up to third place in the overall standings with seventh place. Timo Glock (Kreuzlingen) placed the second McLaren 720S GT3 Evo from Dörr Motorsport in eighth. Marco Mapelli (I/Red Bull Team Abt) followed in ninth, ahead of Porsche driver Bastian Buus (DK/Land-Motorsport). Tom Kalender: “When I ran to my team after the podium ceremony, I saw so many happy faces as never before. In just four years, I have made it from karting to the DTM podium. This feeling is indescribable. After my retirement on Saturday, I still had a fresh set of tyres in reserve. That obviously helped me in the battle with Thomas Preining.” Thomas Preining: “A great home race for the team! At the start, I was incredibly lucky to just avoid the collision involving the cars next to me. I would have loved to bring second place home and I gave it everything I had, but Tom Kalender was simply impossible to hold off. We are now fully involved in the championship fight and we have worked hard to get here.” Results, 12th championship race1. Marco Wittmann (D/Schubert Motorsport)2.

Matteo Cairoli (I/Emil Frey Racing) comfortably won the eleventh DTM championship race at the Nürburgring on Saturday. The Ferrari driver controlled the field as pole-sitter in midsummer temperatures and was the first to take the chequered flag after 39 laps with a lead of just under ten seconds. “This victory feels fantastic after some rather disappointing weekends recently. Our team did a mega job last week and did everything possible to get us back on the road to success. It has fully paid off. First pole position, then the victory and the fastest race lap – the car was simply a rocket,” said a delighted Cairoli, who has already claimed three victories as a DTM rookie. Porsche driver Thomas Preining (A) finished second at his team Manthey’s home circuit. Third place went to Marco Wittmann (Fürth/Schubert Motorsport) in the BMW M4 GT3 Evo. Keyfacts, 11th race of the season out of 16• Pole position: Matteo Cairoli (Emil Frey Racing, Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo #14), 1:25.345 minutes• Winner: Matteo Cairoli (Emil Frey Racing, Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo #14)• Fastest lap: Matteo Cairoli (Emil Frey Racing, Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo #14), 1:26.031 minutes Pole-sitter Cairoli maintained the lead ahead of Preining after a perfect start. Behind them, Ben Dörr (Butzbach/Dörr Motorsport) took third place ahead of Wittmann and Lucas Auer (A/Mercedes-AMG Team Landgraf), who lost two positions. While there were some hard-fought battles further down the field, the gaps between the top five remained constant. The 30-year-old Cairoli had built up a lead of more than three seconds by the time of the mandatory pit stop and returned to the track in first place after a quick tyre change. Preining had fitted new Pirelli slicks one lap earlier and reduced the gap to the Italian in his Porsche 911 GT3 R, but was unable to get within striking distance. Wittmann was able to pass Dörr after an early pit stop, while Auer remained in fifth. As Cairoli continued to extend his lead, Dörr closed in on Wittmann but was unable to challenge the experienced driver from Fürth. The Ferrari driver ultimately secured his third victory with a comfortable margin, giving him more race wins this season than any other DTM driver. With second place, Preining also moved up to second in the overall standings. Wittmann and Dörr followed in third and fourth. Auer finished fifth and therefore remained third in the standings. Championship leader Maro Engel (Monaco/Mercedes-AMG Team Ravenol) tactically stayed out of the hard-fought battles and maintained his lead in the drivers’ standings with sixth place. Luca Engstler (Kempten/Red Bull Team Abt) was the best-placed Lamborghini driver in seventh. Jules Gounon (F/Mercedes-AMG Team Mann-Filter) was classified eighth. Ricardo Feller (CH) finished the eleventh race of the season in ninth place in Manthey’s second Porsche 911 GT3 R. Bastian Buus (DK) completed the top ten in the Porsche of Land-Motorsport. Thomas Preining: “A great race for us! The important thing was that I was able to defend second place at the start. Matteo Cairoli was simply too fast to put him under serious pressure. The 20 points are important for the championship, and we have to continue like this on Sunday. I have been driving for Manthey for so many years that, as an Austrian, the Nürburgring weekend already feels like a home race to me.” Marco Wittmann: “The Nürburgring is a track that suits me really well. We have been at the front since the first practice session on Friday and didn’t have to make any major setup adjustments over the weekend. As a driver, that gives you the confidence you need in a DTM race. I had to keep a close eye on the rear-view mirror during the final laps, so I’m all the happier with the result.” Result, 11th championship race1. Matteo Cairoli (I/Emil Frey Racing)2.

In 2027, the Nürburgring will celebrate its 100th anniversary. For decades, Porsche has achieved motorsport successes and set records there. At the same time, the circuit has been an integral part of the development and testing of production vehicles. Porsche Deutschland is celebrating this special connection with an exclusive edition model: the 911 GT3 100 Jahre Nürburgring incorporates the fascination of the Eifel circuit into numerous exterior and interior details. The model will be presented to the public for the first time as part of the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland from 15–16 August at the Nürburgring. Customers can order the edition from September 2026, with a total of 100 vehicles available for the German market. They will be delivered to customers during the anniversary year 2027. Porsche is also offering a unique customised Manthey Experience. “In every Porsche there is a little bit of the Nürburgring – and this edition model has a particularly large amount,” says Robert Ader, CEO Porsche Deutschland. “We are celebrating the close connection to the legendary circuit in the Eifel, which has long since become our home, with the 911 GT3 100 Jahre Nürburgring.” The exterior: Front and rear panels in greenThe edition model combines Porsche’s motorsport DNA with a tribute to the Nürburgring and its rich history. This idea is reflected in numerous details. Customers can choose between the two exterior colours White and GT-Silvermetallic. White represents the classic, neutral racing colour in which many vehicles are delivered from the factory, leaving room for individual sponsor branding. GT-Silvermetallic, on the other hand, takes its inspiration from Porsche Cup cars. Striking green accents also reference the “Green Hell” – the nickname coined by Jackie Stewart for the legendary Nordschleife. The front and rear panels feature green protective film. In the past, factory teams used this approach to make it easier to distinguish their cars from one another during races. The optionally available Manthey Kit further emphasises the motorsport character of the edition model and has been colour-matched accordingly. In addition to a modified suspension and optimised brake components, the kit features an extensive aerodynamic package that increases downforce to 540 kilograms at 285 km/h. The performance of the kit was demonstrated by reigning DTM champion Ayhancan Güven with a lap time of 6:50.853 minutes on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Another motorsport-inspired detail is the green recovery straps for the towing eyes. They can be screwed in at the front and rear before use on the circuit. In line with racing regulations, white arrow markings indicate the recovery points. Historic Nürburgring logos on the fenders and a selectable race number from 0 to 999 on the bonnet, doors and rear window further underline the connection to the legendary Eifel circuit. For the design, the Style Porsche and Exclusive Manufaktur designers opted for a special typeface that looks handwritten and was inspired by the graffiti on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. As with racing cars, the sunstrip on the windscreen of the edition model combines functionality with recognisability: it reduces glare for the driver when the sun is low while also featuring a golden Porsche lettering as an unmistakable motorsport statement. The exterior components and wheels also fit into the colour concept: while the mirror bases are finished in the exterior colour, the upper and lower housings are presented in green. The lightweight aluminium forged wheels in 911 GT3 design and 20/21-inch format (front/rear) are finished in high-gloss Californiagold, while the centre locks are matt black and feature a GT3 logo. Exclusive plaques on the B-pillars bear the “GT3 100 Jahre Nürburgring” lettering and the Nürburgring circuit graphic – also in Californiagold. At the rear, the large wing defines the appearance: the underside of the wing blade features golden Porsche lettering, while the sideplates are painted green and adorned with a golden Nürburgring emblem. The interior: green roll cage and driver’s seat with gradient perforation“Welcome to the Green Hell” – five words that underline the unique character of the edition model and set both driver and passenger up for an emotional driving experience. Both door sill plates, made from black anodised, brushed aluminium, feature this lettering. Illuminated in white, it makes a clear statement when the doors are opened. The LED door projector adds to the anticipation of the legendary corners of the Eifel circuit by projecting the Nürburgring track outline onto the entry area. A highlight of the interior, featuring extensive black leather/Race-Tex surfaces, is a special cross-stitching pattern on the upper sections of the dashboard and doors: the combination of three black and one GT-silver stitching rows creates a distinctive look inspired by the Nürburgring curbs. Corresponding to the colour accents at the front and rear, the rear roll cage is painted green. With the two lightweight sports bucket seats, this colour is reserved for the driver’s side: a green background (“Backing”) shimmers through beneath the gradient perforation of the seat centre and cushion. The driver’s headrest is embroidered with the Nürburgring logo, while the passenger-side headrest features the GT3 lettering. Both can be removed for circuit use with a helmet. Another eye-catching detail is the mode button on the GT steering wheel, which bears the “Grüne Hölle” lettering. The push-to-pass button is also finished in green. The dashboard trim panel, painted in high-gloss green, visually stands out from the other black elements. Customers can choose between the 7-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK) and the 6-speed manual sports transmission. The gear markings are finished in green. The gear knob of the manual version is also made of walnut, as in the 911 Carrera T. “The Nürburgring has been part of our development programme for decades and is the emotional home of our GT vehicles.

The sports car for your wristExclusively for buyers of the model, Porsche Design is offering a matching timepiece. The case of the special edition of the iconic Chronograph 1 is made from lightweight and robust titanium and finished with a black coating. Inside is the highly precise, COSC-certified Porsche Design WERK 01.140 calibre with a bilingual day and date display. The movement is powered by a rotor that picks up the shape and colour of the vehicle’s wheel. Further details connect the sports car and timepiece: the historic Nürburgring logo adorns the matt-black dial. The black strap made from original Porsche interior leather is perforated like the vehicle’s seats and features a green textile “Backing”. The decorative stitching matches the vehicle and is finished in GT-Silver. Like all Porsche Design Timepieces, the Chronograph 1 – 911 GT3 100 Jahre Nürburgring is handcrafted at Porsche’s state-of-the-art in-house watchmaking facility in Grenchen, Switzerland. Porsche and the Nürburgring: closely connected for decadesMuch has changed since the Nürburgring opened on 18 June 1927 – but one thing has remained: the unique and highly demanding character of the Nordschleife. Although the circuit has been modified and shortened several times throughout its history, its unmistakable layout is still defined by 73 corners, steep climbs and descents, and around 300 metres of elevation change. Over 20.8 kilometres, the ribbon of asphalt winds through valleys and past Eifel mountains rising to heights of up to 800 metres. Hardly any other circuit is as closely connected to Porsche’s history as the Nordschleife. The Nürburgring already played a central role in the early years of the Porsche brand: on 31 May 1953, Porsche competed in the Eifelrennen for the first time with the 550 Spyder. Just a few weeks later, on 2 August 1953, the 550 Spyder first used the newly developed Type 547 engine – later known as the legendary “Fuhrmann engine” – during practice for the German Grand Prix. From 1954 onwards, this power unit became known as “Carrera” and formed the technological basis for Porsche’s motorsport activities, shaping the brand to this day. In the decades that followed, the Nürburgring became the stage for numerous successes: in 1967, Porsche won the 1,000-kilometre race for the first time with the 910 – with many more victories to follow. Among the iconic moments is Stefan Bellof’s record lap, when he set a time of 6:11.13 minutes in practice in 1983 – a benchmark that was only beaten in 2018 by Timo Bernhard in the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo. Porsche was among the first manufacturers to systematically integrate the Nürburgring into its testing programme. Between March and October, sports cars are tested here under maximum loads – from endurance and suspension setup work to aerodynamic and functional testing. The Nürburgring is regarded as one of the most demanding tests of vehicle durability in the world. Accordingly, the so-called “compression factor” is extremely high: one kilometre driven on the Nordschleife corresponds, in terms of the stress placed on the vehicle, to numerous kilometres on public roads. This allows almost an entire vehicle life cycle to be simulated within a short period of time. With fast corners, hard compressions, crests and constantly changing road surfaces, the legendary circuit challenges both man and machine. The edition model therefore not only celebrates 100 years of the Nürburgring, but also Porsche’s decades-long connection with one of the most demanding race tracks in the world.

Three countries, eight race weekends, 16 championship rounds: The DTM has published its racing calendar for 2027 and will kick off the season at the Red Bull Ring presented by VKB-Bank. Alongside the Formula 1 circuit in Austria, the Dutch Circuit Zandvoort is the second overseas venue. These are joined by six renowned race tracks in Germany. The finale will, as is traditional, be held at the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg. This means there will be just under six months of motorsport action between the season opener and the season finale. All 16 races will be broadcast live on ProSieben on free-to-air television in 2027. Advance ticket sales for the 2027 DTM will begin on 11 October, the day of this year’s DTM finale. Against the impressive backdrop of the Styrian Alps, a new title chase will begin from 23 to 25 April 2027. Following its successful debut as the season opener this year, the Red Bull Ring will once again host the first two championship rounds, promising motorsport against a breathtaking mountain backdrop. Just two weeks later, from 7 to 9 May, the DTM will be visiting the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben. Precision and consistency are particularly crucial on this technically demanding circuit near Magdeburg. The next challenge comes at the Dekra Lausitzring from 18 to 20 June. This is followed by one of the absolute highlights of the season: From 2 to 4 July, the Norisring will once again transform Nuremberg into the DTM capital. Germany’s only street circuit thrills spectators year after year with its unique atmosphere, packed grandstands and spectacular wheel-to-wheel duels between crash barriers and concrete walls.In the height of summer, from 6 to 8 August, the DTM heads to the Dutch North Sea coast. The Circuit Zandvoort, nestled in the dune landscape right by the sea, provides the setting for races nine and ten of the season. The decisive phase in the title race begins just two weeks later at the Nürburgring. From 20 to 22 August, the series visits the Eifel region, before the Sachsenring opens the final chapter ahead of the season’s climax from 24 to 26 September. When the DTM heads to the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg for the finale from 8 to 10 October, everything will be at stake. The title race will be decided on the historic Grand Prix circuit, where heroes are born and the 2027 DTM champions will be crowned. “The sheer enthusiasm in the stands shows that the DTM is on the road to success and holds great appeal for visitors. In the first five events this year, we saw a 13 per cent increase in visitor numbers. We want to carry this momentum into the 2027 season and are relying on the tried-and-tested venues that are popular with visitors, whilst varying the order in which they are held. With eight top-class race weekends, historic circuits and a balanced mix of national highlights and international guest appearances, we are once again offering fans, teams and partners a calendar of the highest standard,” says ADAC Motorsport Director Thomas Voss.
