Nürburgring 24 Hours – The History of the First 40 Races
24 hours of flat-out racing through the "Green Hell"—this unique challenge draws the racing community to the legendary Nürburgring year after year. No other German motorsport event attracts more participants or spectators than the 24-hour race on the Nordschleife. Since its debut in July 1970, the event has been defined by contrasts: young versus old, professionals versus amateurs, production-based touring cars versus thoroughbred racing machines—all set against the backdrop of the notoriously unpredictable Eifel weather. This endurance classic, held on the world's most beautiful and challenging circuit, has created new heroes and shattered dreams; yet one thing it has never been is boring.
This official history book provides a comprehensive chronicle of the 24-hour race from 1970 to 2012. Renowned authors Wilfried Müller and Jörg Ufer trace the event's evolution from its inception to the present day, sharing gripping anecdotes and introducing the legends of this classic race—from record-holding starter Volker Strycek and rally legend Walter Röhrl to Olaf Manthey’s successful team. The volume is rounded off with complete results lists for every edition of the race.
