Post

21-03-2026, 08:15 CET, Qualification Race 2 ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS)


Following the weather-enforced break, the Eifel is buzzing with excitement ahead of the 58th ADAC Barbarossa Prize and the ‘real’ start of the NLS season!
All eyes are on the eagerly awaited debut of Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen, who is making his first appearance in a
Mercedes-AMG GT3 in the Green Hell.
Carrying start number 3, the champion is taking on the assembled endurance elite and aims
to prove that he can compete at the very front even on the toughest circuit in the world. But he isn’t the only highlight on the grid, as a viral fan project is finally becoming a reality: the BMW M3 Touring 24H is rolling to the start!
What began as an April Fool’s joke in 2025 has been transformed by Schubert Motorsport into a thoroughbred GT3 racing machine,
whose design consists entirely of genuine fan comments. This spectacular duo faces top-class competition from Rowe Racing,
Abt Lamborghini and the lightning-fast Falken Porsche. Experience four hours of non-stop action as exotic cars meet world-class drivers and motorsport history is made.

They might as well come and participate in kids' karting. A minute at the finish line is just ridiculous. #-o

How is this possible? Why did they have more tires than others? Was it on purpose?

Someone in the garage screwed up. They had 6 sets for the day and that is enough to have fresh tyres for every stint. My guess is since they let each driver do one run in quali (3 sets) and then used 4 sets in the race they ended up using 7 by mistake. In reality they could have just let Verstappen do quali on his own with 1 or 2 sets since he was several seconds faster than the competition and his teammates.

Though I doubt Max will shed any tears over missing out on the "Barbarossa prize" :lol: This was a general repetition for the 24h and they got the experience they wanted in that sense.

This Christophe Haase guy that Max raced against in the beginning, is he a good driver? I have heard he is a Nordschleife specialist who has raced there his whole career.
