NURBURGRING 24 HOURS
NURBURGRING (DEU)
20-21 MAY
As grudge-fuelled local derbies go, they don’t come much bigger than the Nurburgring 24 Hours (at least in motorsport terms). Germany’s ‘Big Four’ – Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche – relish the annual squabble for bragging rights, and the stakes have only risen in tandem with the speeds in this glorious GT3 era. Except this year the national hegemony came to an abrupt halt, as the Big Four found themselves soundly beaten by a Ferrari that delivered the Prancing Horse its first Nurburgring 24 Hours victory, in the race’s 51st edition.
