NLS 2026: Calendar, Results and Race Reports
The ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie has been racing on the Nordschleife since 1977, which makes it one of the longest-running endurance championships anywhere. More than a hundred cars share a twenty-kilometre circuit, from factory GT3 machinery down to near-standard hatchbacks. This is our hub for the 2026 season: the full calendar, every round we have covered, and the background you need to follow it.
2026 champions: Bugane, Fübrich and Markert
The season is over. Edoardo Bugane, Yannick Fübrich and Sven Markert won the BMW M240i class at the NLS 10 finale on 10 October with the #650 Adrenalin Motorsport BMW and took the 2026 title. The race itself went to the #17 Dunlop Motorsport Porsche of Nico Menzel and Sven Müller. Read the full story in our NLS 10 race report, and find all times on the NLS 10 results page. The dates for next season are in the NLS calendar 2027.
The points tables come from the series itself
The NLS publishes the official 2026 points tables as PDF documents: the overall standings (Gesamtwertung), plus the class and trophy tables on the NLS standings page.
