1000km Nürburgring
Encyclopedia
The ADAC 1000 km Nürburgring is an endurance race for sports cars
held on the Nürburgring
in Germany and organized by the ADAC
since 1953.
The first event that counted towards the World Sportscar Championship
was won by Alberto Ascari
and Giuseppe Farina
in a Ferrari
. Due to disappointing attendance, the race was not held in the following two years. It became quite popular in the 1960s and 1970s though, and even more so after Formula One
decided not to race at the Nürburgring after 1976 on safety grounds.
The last race on the Northern Loop in 1983 was won by Jochen Mass
and Jacky Ickx
in their Rothmans Porsche 956
. In that year, due to the ongoing construction work, the track had been shorted to 20.832 km and provisional pits were used. This event saw the fastest ever timed lap of the Nordschleife when German driver Stefan Bellof
lapped his Rothmans Porsche in 6:11.13 during practice. Bellof also set the race lap record during that race lapping in 6:25.91.
Since 1984, the 1000 km races were run on the new, much shorter Grand-Prix-Strecke, while the 24 Hours Nürburgring
stayed on the legendary long track. In 1991, the 1000 km races were first shortened to 480 km, then discontinued overall due to the demise of the World Sportscar Championship
.
In 2000, the 1000 km were resumed, with new competitive cars of BMW and Audi. The race was held as a part of the European Le Mans Series
(ELMS), the Euro version of the American Le Mans Series
(ALMS
). In a wet race, the unusual front-engined Panoz
of Jan Magnussen
and David Brabham
won, ahead of a BMW V12 LMR, an Audi R8
and the second Panoz.
On September 4, 2005, the 1000 km was held as a part of the Le Mans Endurance Series (LMES).
The 500 km Nürburgring was also similar event for smaller sportscars during the 1960s and 1970s.
VLN
also runs a six hour endurance race, while covering only 4h in other heats. In 2010, for the first time a distance of more than 1000 km was covered by the winning Porsche 911 GT3.
Current record of most wins belongs to Stirling Moss
who won the race in 1956, 1958, 1959 and 1960.
in 2010 the tradition and name of the renowned ADAC 1000 km of Nürburgring will be continued by the motor sport club DAMC 05. In contrast to former years, the race is organised for older cars and therefore the term “classic” was added to the name.
