NES cancels remaining race dates for 2024 and prepares for 2025 endurance series

Despite sufficient sponsors, intensive efforts and numerous conversations regarding the organisation of the races, the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NES) is cancelling all race events scheduled for 2024. At the same time, the NES will be focussing immediately on preparations for the 2025 racing season.

For 2024, NES had created all the prerequisites for running an independent racing series, including organisation and race control, and drew up innovative regulations that were considered positive by experts and approved by the DSMB.

For the NES.02 race, which was to be held on 4 May, all the commitments by marshals necessary to hold the race were in place. The usual number of reserve staff was also available. Early on Friday afternoon between 12:30 and 14:00, 88 marshals withdrew their commitments at short notice, meaning that the event had to be cancelled for safety reasons.

In order to enable the teams to have a perfect 2025 racing season with ideal conditions, the NES will cancel the remaining race dates for 2024 and use the capacity to train additional neutral marshals. The first dates of the training, which is free of charge for participants, will be announced shortly on the nes.de website.

For the year 2025, there will be an allocation of race dates based on the judgement of the Koblenz Higher Regional Court, which Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG has already called for and in which NES will participate.

Particular thanks go to all the teams, sponsors and marshals who have supported the NES despite all the adversity.
