“We wanted to provide our teams and drivers early planning for the 24h race at the Nürburgring,” said race director Walter Hornung.

“Furthermore, the 24h race will, subject to FIA approval, attract clearly more international attention due to the World Touring Car Championship round held at the Nordschleife in the 24h-race support program.”
