The ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring returns from 19–22 June with its biggest grid in five years: over 140 entries, more than 20 classes, and a line-up that mixes GT3 firepower, quirky fan favourites, and exotic newcomers. From works-supported machinery to grassroots heroes, this year’s entry list is a celebration of everything that makes the 24 Hours of Nürburgring the wildest race on the planet.

Audi defends, Porsche dominates, Ford debuts

Leading the field is Scherer Sport PHX, which returns to defend its title with the #1 Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II driven by Christopher Haase, Luca Ludwig and Markus Winkelhock. But it’s Porsche that has the early-season momentum: the marque has won every NLS race in 2025 so far. Manthey EMA, Falken Motorsports, and Dinamic GT all field factory-grade 911 GT3 Rs, while Scherer Sport PHX adds a second car for Laurens Vanthoor, Patric Niederhauser and Ricardo Feller in its first 24-hour race with Porsche.

There’s also fresh firepower: the Ford Mustang GT3 makes its 24 Hours of the Nürburgring debut with HRT Ford Performance, fielding three cars including a Pro entry with Dennis Olsen, Arjun Maini, and Frank Stippler, who’ll also drive an Audi R8 LMS GT3 for Juta Racing. Yes, Stippi is pulling double duty in two different GT3 cars from two different teams, and few know the ‘Ring better.

Mercedes-AMG’s GetSpeed squad is back in full strength with Maro Engel, Luca Stolz, Maxime Martin, and a second entry for the equally strong line-up of Ralf Aron, Lucas Auer, Adam Christodoulou, and Mikael Grenier. Meanwhile, Rowe Racing fields a solo BMW M4 GT3 Evo for Raffaele Marciello, Augusto Farfus, Jesse Krohn and Kelvin van der Linde. Lamborghini fans will have their eyes on the two-car Abt Sportsline crew, while Aston Martin adds more variety with Walkenhorst Motorsports and PROsport Racing.

From Dacia to Lynk & Co: The rest of the madness

The lower classes are just as compelling. The cult-favourite Dacia Logan returns, joined by the home-built Beetle RSR, a pair of ravenous BMW 318ti from MDM Racing, and the last-known Porsche 997 Cup entry from Saugmotoren Motorsport.

Newcomers? Plenty. The McLaren Artura Trophy Evo makes its ’24’ debut with Dörr Motorsport in the SP8T class. Chinese team Fancy by Teamwork Motorsport enters the first-ever Lynk & Co 03 TCR. Toyota Rookie Racing is back with Toyota’s former CEO Akio ‘Morizo’ Toyoda in the GR Yaris. And the alt-fuel category is up to eleven entries, including multiple e-Fuel Porsches from Four Motors.

Class battles everywhere

Whether it’s the jam-packed Cup 2 Porsche class, the multi-brand GT4 grid, or the 20-car VT2 field split by drivetrain layout, there’s action to be found everywhere. This race isn’t just about the front. Class wins mean everything at the ‘Ring.

With manufacturer pride, privateer passion and plenty of chaos in the mix, the 2025 Nürburgring 24 Hours is shaping up to be one for the ages.
