This weekend sees the ‘other’ big European 24 hour race, and by many measures the biggest.
We all know about Le Mans of course, and the Spa 24 later in the year is also reasonably high profile (well it was when GT1 and GT2 were involved, jury is out on the changes this year but that’s for another post), but it seems to my eyes that the Nurburgring edition often gets overlooked by the English-speaking racing media. Thankfully this is changing.
So why should you care about a race you may not have followed or even heard of before? I mean if it were that big surely you’d know some of the winners, right? Well, here are some reasons.
