The opening hours of the 2026 ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring 24 Hours delivered everything the Nordschleife is known for: changing weather, packed traffic, dramatic incidents and a relentless fight at the front. While rain and mixed conditions dominated much of the opening phase, a dreamlike sunset added another layer to the ever-changing challenge around the Green Hell.
