The Nürburgring 24 Hours is an endurance race held since 1970 on the combined Nordschleife and GP-Strecke circuits, attracting a large and varied field across touring cars and GT classes. Its strongest division runs GT3 machinery and hosts established professionals, with names including Max Verstappen and Laurens Vanthoor; other classes range through GT4, TCR, Porsche one-make cups, and production-based cars down to near-standard machinery. The field overall sits at professional level in its top tiers and semi-professional or amateur in its lower classes. The series draws drivers both from regional feeder championships and from higher international endurance grids, and its fastest competitors regularly step up to the 24H Series, WEC, and IMSA; conversely it receives drivers cycling down from those series and from the FIA GT Championship.
