Overview
- The Nürburgring‑Langstrecken‑Serie runs back‑to‑back four‑hour races on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 12–13, with Motorsport‑Total.com streaming both days from 08:15 including qualifying, race coverage, onboard and helicopter footage.
- A field of 136 cars from 14 manufacturers is entered for the weekend, creating a deep and varied grid that will run on the 24.433‑km NLS layout combining the Grand‑Prix sprint and the Nordschleife.
- The overall class is especially tight with 22 SP9 GT3 cars plus four AT1 alternative‑fuel GT3s producing about 26 realistic contenders from seven major brands including Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes‑AMG, Aston Martin, Ford and Lamborghini.
- The championship leader trio Edoardo Bugane, Yannick Fübrich and Sven Markert sit on 79 points with nearest pursuers on 64 and 56 points, making this double‑header likely to swing the title fight given that every race counts this season.
- NLS released its 2027 calendar with eight races and a 6‑hour centerpiece, announced that the two 24h‑Qualifier races will not count toward the 2027 championship, and confirmed the proposed 24‑hour Nürburgring series has been postponed to 2028 to give teams more preparation time.
