- Independent regulations an innovative basis for the new endurance racing series
- Ability to respond to wishes from teams with flexibility and without outside influence
- NES.01 this weekend: 15 hours of testing on the Nordschleife and the sprint circuit
Innovative, independent and future-orientated: The Sporting and Technical Regulations form the basis for the new Nürburgring Endurance Series (NES). Both sets of regulations have now received the blessing of the sporting authorities: On 18 March, the Deutscher Motor-Sport Bund (DMSB) approved both the Sporting and Technical Regulations of the NES. The DMSB stamp of approval represents another milestone for the new endurance racing series at the Nürburgring. It was only in January that NES was given the green light to organise the racing series. For the NES Prologue, extensive test drives will be held on Friday (22 March/9:00-18:00) and Saturday (23 March/8:00-14:00), enabling the teams to prepare intensively for the new season in the Green Hell.
Free access, free parking: come and admire the new generation of racing cars
The trip to the Nürburgring is definitely worthwhile for motorsport enthusiasts. Renowned teams with world-class drivers as well as dedicated amateur racing drivers will take on the 24.358-kilometre NES track configuration consisting of the Nordschleife and the sprint circuit. The NES invites all visitors with free admission and free parking to experience the intensive testing on the challenging asphalt track and to look over the shoulders of the teams, collect autographs and marvel at the latest generation of racing cars in the paddock, which is also freely accessible. A trip to the Eifel at the start of the Easter holidays is also interesting for the entire family, especially as a visit to the ring°werk motorsport experience museum is also possible free of charge on Saturday.
Independent regulations allow for flexibility and opportunities to adapt
The organisers of the Nürburgring Endurance Series have created independent regulations for both the sporting and technical areas. Independence in the regulations means that the NES can make decisions at any time, including adjustments at short notice, without having to coordinate these with third-party organisations, apart from approval by the DMSB. This independence therefore ensures a high degree of flexibility and efficient options for adaptation in order to be able to respond to the needs and wishes of the participants. The NES regulations also differ significantly from conventional regulations in other respects. These include, for example, the allocation of vehicles into just three divisions for thoroughbred racing cars as well as improved and production-based touring cars, but also greater clarity thanks to fewer classes, equal opportunities for point-scoring, cost reduction and sustainability.
