Lutz Rühl was a club-level driver racing in national endurance championships at the Nürburgring between 2010 and 2021. He spent six seasons in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, a multiclass series where amateurs and professionals share the track, driving Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport and production-based race cars for raceunion Teichmann Racing and others. He made two appearances in the Nürburgring 24 Hours, the circuit's flagship endurance race, in 2020 and 2021.[1]
Across 30 starts, Rühl took one podium finish. That result came in the 2021 Nürburgring 24 Hours. His most frequent rivals in the Langstrecken-Serie were competitive amateurs; he ran closely with Holger Goedicke but typically finished behind Elmar Jurek, the 2012 Cup 3 champion. He finished ahead of professional drivers Jakub Giermaziak, a multiple-time SP 9 Pro champion, and Max Sandritter on single occasions.[2]
