Nurburgring endurance racing set for split in 2024 following lawsuit

Understanding the political situation is a complex undertaking as there are several different parties with different goals involved. The basic facts are: 

  • VLN and the Russian Nurburgring owner NR Holding staged the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) together 
  • NR Holding proposed a new structure in spring 2023 with the Automobilclub von Deutschland (AvD) joining the construct
  • VLN declined the proposal 
  • NR Holding then commissioned AvD to stage a new endurance series without VLN involvement, terminating the NLS contracts by the end of 2023 
  • NR Holding also announced not to grant slots at the Nordschleife to VLN in 2024 
  • VLN took legal action, scoring a landslide victory in court in September 2023 
  • In the appeal it has now been ruled VLN to be granted five slots for six races at the Nurburgring in 2024
