Gennep, Netherlands (11 June 2026):
Less than a week removed from the halfway point of the Michelin 24H SERIES European Series at Paul Ricard in France, drivers and teams are already making early preparations for the penultimate race of the 2026 season – the hotly anticipated Michelin 12H NÜRBURGRING. 

Round four of the championship across the weekend 3/4/5 July will not only mark the welcome return of the Creventic organised category to Germany for the first time since 2022, the event will actually be the maiden visit of the Michelin 24H SERIES to the renowned Nürburgring GP track.

Leading the headline GT3 class going into round four is local squad GetSpeed Team PCX Racing, the Mercedes-AMG outfit holding a six-point advantage at the top of the table. It will also enter the sister GetSpeed Team JR286 car which is second in the GT3-AM class title battle. 

The upcoming event couldn’t be any more of a ‘home’ race meeting for GetSpeed if it tried, the team headquarters are actually situated at the Nürburgring itself – so there will be plentiful support for the current championship leaders.

HOFOR Racing is guaranteed to still be in celebratory mood after a fantastic overall race victory last time out at Circuit Paul Ricard, and the Mercedes-AMG team will go into round four with the lead of the GT3-AM class. 

Also set to be on the grid at the Nürburgring with Mercedes-AMG entries will be category stalwarts Ajith RedAnt Racing and Viper Niza Racing – the former is second in the GT3 PRO-AM standings to GetSpeed Team PCX, and fourth in the outright GT3 battle.

More local interest in GT3 comes courtesy of the sole Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) EVO from Germany’s Proton Competition, the Baden-Württemberg squad is presently third in the PRO-AM standings and fifth in the overall GT3 championship. 

Four Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II cars are listed for the first ever Michelin 12H NÜRBURGRING, one example each from Sainteloc Junior Team – winners of the season-opening Michelin 12H MUGELLO – HAAS RT, Continental Racing by Simpson Motorsport and Juta Racing.

Era Motorsport is confirmed with its Ferrari 296 GT3 EVO, which debuted last time out, and fellow Ferrari squad Pellin Racing makes a welcome return having missed the visit to Paul Ricard. Pellin’s variant is the Ferrari 296 GT3. Completing the GT3 entry will be E2P Racing with its Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 EVO and the returning Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO of ARC Bratislava.

Following victory for the Red Camel-Jordans.nl Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992 I) in round three, the gap at the top of the 992 championship to leaders Mühlner Motorsport – victors at Mugello and Spa – has closed to 16 points with two events to go. Mühlner has also entered a second Porsche for the trip to the Nürburgring

Germany’s RPM Racing and HRT Performance are confirmed in 992, the latter currently entering two Porsches, while the Seblajoux Racing squad will also enter twin cars. Also in action will be Chazel Technologie Course, MM Racing and Van Berlo Motorsport by CP Motorsport.

Two cars are presently listed in GT4, Michelin 12H PAUL RICARD class winners Circuit Toys bring their distinctive Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2 and will be challenged by German squad Bonk Motorsport with its BMW M4 GT4 EVO (G82) making its first appearance of the season.

TCE-TCX expands to six cars for round four, with the class leading asBest Racing SEAT Leon Cup Racer – winner at Mugello and Paul Ricard – entered alongside the team’s Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CS (982) and Cupra TCR DSG, making it a three-car effort for asBest Racing. Chief championship rivals Not Only Motorsport, victors at Spa, will be aiming to overturn asBest’s slim four point lead with its potent Ligier JS2 R.

Making only its second appearance of the European Series season will be the trusty BMW M3 (E46) of J-Mec Engineering, and Sharky Racing will make an overdue and very welcome return to TCE-TCX with an Audi RS3 LMS TCR.

After CR Track Days on Wednesday, 1 July, and Thursday, 2 July, free practice and qualifying will follow at the Nürburgring on Friday, 3 July – the 992, GT4 and TCE-TCX classes will participate in three qualifying sessions, with three additional sessions for GT3 only. Part one of the race is set to begin at 12.00 local time on Saturday, 4 July, with part two beginning at 12.00 on Sunday, 5 July.

In addition to the action from the Michelin 12H NÜRBURGRING, there will also be support races from the Creventic organised Prototype Cup Europe and Radical Cup Europe. Creventic Motorsports TV will carry live coverage on YouTube, with streaming and live timing links available during the event at www.24hseries.com
