GT World Challenge Europe: Nürburgring to Host the Eighth Round of the Endurance Cup from August 29 to 31

The GT World Challenge Europe heads to Germany for one of the most anticipated events of the season: from August 29 to 31, 2025, the legendary Nürburgring will host the eighth round of the Endurance Cup, featuring a 3-hour endurance race scheduled for Sunday, August 31 at 3:00 PM. However, it won’t be the iconic 20+ km Nordschleife to host the race, but rather the GP track, which is about 5 km long. Remember it? Formula 1 raced there until 2007 for the European Grand Prix. In fact, F1 returned to this circuit in 2020 due to special circumstances related to the COVID pandemic.

Here you can watch the Race Live on Sunday directly from the GTW channel in English or German. You can find the German LIVE on the bottom of this page

Bmw, Audi, Porsche, Aston Martin for the GT World challenge win

No fewer than 10 manufacturers will compete on the 5.1km GP-Strecke layout, led by a significant contingent from German brands Audi, BMW, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche. They will be joined by leading Italian marques Ferrari and Lamborghini, British brands Aston Martin and McLaren, and a pair of American heavyweights in Chevrolet and Ford.

A fixture on the calendar for more than a decade, the Nürburgring meeting takes place two months after a record-breaking CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, which saw Lamborghini capture its first-ever win at the Belgian classic. Following a memorable contest in the Belgian Ardennes, the action now shifts across the border to the Eifel mountains, kicking off the final phase of the 2025 campaign.
