The 2026 ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) reaches its season highlight this Saturday with the KW 6h ADAC Ruhr Cup race, six hours on the Nordschleife.
A 134-car field takes on NLS7, headlined by 24 GT3s across SP9 and the AT1 class. The paddock talk centres on the return of Timo Bernhard and Jörg Bergmeister, the two Nordschleife record-holders sharing a GT4 cockpit for the first time in a special Porsche Museum tribute Cayman with Team75 Bernhard. Ralf Aron also makes his racing comeback in the #80 Mercedes-AMG Team RAVENOL GT3 alongside newly crowned Nürburgring 24h winner Luca Stolz, five months after his crash at the Bathurst 12 Hour.
Max Kruse Racing enters all three of its Audi R8 LMS GT3s for the first time, the #11, #19 and #75 running on E20 alternative fuel in the AT1 class. Read our full interview with Benjamin Leuchter on the programme.
Fresh GT3 projects swell the top class too, with reigning NLS champions FK Performance Motorsport making their Nordschleife GT3 debut, an NLS bow for IMSA and historic racing outfit ERA Motorsport, and Dörr Motorsport back with their McLaren 720S GT3.
Qualifying gets under way at 08:30 CEST, setting the grid for a 12:00 CEST race start. Follow the action live on GT REPORT.
