ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring
A GREEN HELL OF A RIDE
As one of the world's biggest motorsport events, the 24h Nürburgring stands out as a true highlight on the annual racing calendar. Renowned manufacturers, teams and drivers have been competing in this challenging endurance race since 1970.
Today's 25.378-kilometre circuit, combining the iconic Nordschleife with the Nürburgring Grand Prix track, presents exceptional challenges for both drivers and cars due to its distinctive layout. The success story of Mercedes-AMG Motorsport has always been closely linked to the Eifel circuit known as the 'Green Hell', marked by numerous overall victories.
ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring 2026
The 54th edition of the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring will take place from 14 to 17 May 2026. At the highlight of the Nordschleife season, we will be competing this year with two Performance Teams, Mercedes-AMG Team RAVENOL and Mercedes-AMG Team Verstappen Racing.
Both Mercedes-AMG GT3s are fielded by the Winward Racing team. They will compete in the top category SP9 PRO and feature a strong line-up.
Maro Engel, Maxime Martin, Fabian Schiller and Luca Stolz will be driving for Mercedes-AMG Team RAVENOL – an experienced quartet that already competed together in 2025. The vehicle in RAVENOL design bears the start number 80, referring to the 80th anniversary of the lubricant brand.
The lineup of the Mercedes-AMG Team Verstappen Racing consists of Lucas Auer, Jules Gounon, Daniel Juncadella and Max Verstappen, who is making his debut at the 24h Nürburgring. Their entry is supported by Red Bull, which is also reflected in the striking design of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 with start number 3.
In addition to the Performance Teams, further entries are planned, which will be carried out by Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing Teams.
As in the previous two years, the results of the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring will count towards the Intercontinental GT Challenge standings. In the run-up to the race, the teams will have the opportunity to prepare intensively for the legendary Nordschleife classic in the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) and the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers.
