VLN & ADAC-24h

24h-ADAC-Rennen 2010 [13.-16.05.2010]

The 24 Hours Nürburgring is a GT and touring car endurance racing event on the Nürburgring, inspired by the famous
24 Hours of Le Mans and the Spa 24 Hours. The venue of this event is held on the Nürburgring Nordschleife (north loop).
The event unconventionally accepts entries of low powered production cars and not so experienced drivers alike, which
makes it for a tougher excersice to the top racing drivers competing in GT2 FIA compliant Racing machines as the abundant
traffic in the already vastly difficult and dangerous Nordschleife adds as a huge difficulty factor. This is the highest class of
racing currently held on the track and thus it is of special significance for car manufacturers due to the prestige involved as
a racing pedigree testing event as the entered GT2 class cars are directly derived from commercial road going sports cars.

For practice, 230 cars are allowed, 220 qualify for the race, driven by 800 or more drivers, as 2, 3 or 4 can share a car.
One driver is allowed to drive 150 minutes nonstop, and can enter on two cars, yet a rest time of at least 2 hours has to be
observed between two turns.

Officially called ADAC 24h Rennen Nürburgring in German, it was introduced in 1970 by the ADAC as a real race,
unlike the earlier endurance contests, over 12h, 24h (in 1961 and 1967), 36h, 84h and even 96h Marathon de la Route,
the substitute for the Liége-Rome-Liége and Liége-Sofia-Liège rallies, held on the Nürburgring from 1965 to 1971.
