New racing series: German Historic Endurance Championship (DHLM) starting 2026

Four seasonal races at top events over the entire length of the Nürburgring, including the legendary Nordschleife, will form the platform for the debut season. In the inaugural season, the races will be held over a distance of three hours each. The grand finale will be the ADAC 1000 km race weekend with two races in one event. Four separate dates are then planned for 2027. Race 3 will then be advertised as the ADAC Eifel Race and the ADAC 1000 km race will be held over the full challenging long distance.

This year, the ADAC 1000 km race will act as a DHLM prologue to the upcoming season. Together with the return of the racing prototypes to the Nordschleife, this will be a motorsport highlight.
