Nürburgring Endurance Series
A club racing series held on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the world's most challenging circuit — and the home of the famous 24-hour race.
// Overview
The Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) — formerly known as VLN — is a ten-round endurance championship held exclusively on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife, one of the most demanding circuits in the world at approximately 25.3 km per lap.
2026 marks the 50th season of the series. The calendar features ten rounds from March to October, with the best eight results counting toward the championship. GT3 cars compete within the SP9 class against up to 200 entries across all categories on any given race day.
Two NLS rounds serve as official qualifying races for the ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring 24 Hours, making them the most prestigious individual rounds of the season.
