Abt-Lamborghini, which finished second, was subsequently disqualified

12.06.2026

The Abt team, which finished second in the 2026 ADAC RAVENOL 24 Hours of Nürburgring, has been retroactively disqualified due to a technical violation. This decision was made by the race stewards at a meeting on June 12, 2026. The following cars move up in the standings, so that behind the winning Mercedes-AMG Team RAVENOL with Maro Engel / Luca Stolz / Fabian Schiller / Maxime Martin (Mercedes-AMG GT3), the Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 EVO from Walkenhorst Motorsport with Christian Krognes / Mattia Drudi / Nicki Thiim now follows. New in 3rd place: Rowe Racing with Daniel Harper / Max Hesse / Sheldon van der Linde / Dries Vanthoor (BMW M4 GT3 EVO).

During a technical post-race inspection, the #84 Lamborghini (driven by Luca Engstler / Mirko Bortolotti / Patric Niederhauser) was found to have excessive power output. This was outside the tolerance range prescribed by the Balance of Performance (BoP). In total, six GT3 vehicles in the SP9 class were inspected in the days following the race as part of a routine post-race inspection. The inspections of the other five vehicles—from Aston Martin, BMW, Ford, Mercedes-AMG, and Porsche—including tests on a dynamometer to measure power output, revealed no issues. Since the Abt team has decided not to appeal, the results of the 54th edition of the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring are now final and can be viewed at www.24h-rennen.de.
