Spread the love

The 2026 Nürburgring 24 Hours brings together one of motorsport’s most varied grids. This year, the race mixes GT3 heavyweights, GT4 challengers, one-make Porsche and BMW classes, modified production cars, experimental machines and alternative-fuel projects on the same 25.378km Nordschleife layout. The class guide identifies more than 20 categories, while the participant list groups each car by race number, class, team, drivers and vehicle.

SP9: GT3 cars lead the fight for overall victory

SP9 sits at the top of the race. The class brings together FIA-homologated GT3 machinery and decides the overall contest. Balance of Performance controls key areas such as weight, fuel capacity, boost and aerodynamics, while teams can choose tyre suppliers and compounds.

SP-X and SP-Pro: the experimental edge

Next, the grid moves into its most unusual territory. SP-X welcomes concepts built specifically for the Nürburgring, including special engineering projects and cars that do not fit mainstream GT categories. SP-Pro also gives unusual machinery a home, although its engine rules differ from SP-X.

SP10: GT4 brings depth behind the GT3 field

SP10 gathers the GT4 cars. These machines follow SRO GT4 regulations and sit below GT3 pace, yet they still give the field a strong professional backbone. The category also mirrors SP9’s class-within-a-class approach.

SP8T, SP7, SP4, SP4T, SP3, SP3T and SP2T: the Specials add variety

The SP classes below GT4 create much of the Nürburgring 24 Hours’ character. They group cars by engine type, engine size and technical concept, so they place everything from McLaren machinery to Dacia, Toyota, Hyundai, Subaru and Volkswagen entries into the same overall race story.

AT1 and AT2: alternative fuels close the class picture

Finally, AT1 and AT2 show how the Nürburgring 24 Hours supports alternative-fuel technology. Some sustainable-fuel cars join other categories, but these dedicated AT classes give selected projects a clearer identity.

AT1

#19 Max Kruse Racing – Jan Jaap van Roon/ Tom Coronel/ Christian Kohlhaas/ Duncan Huismann – Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II
#75 Max Kruse Racing – Dominik Fugel/ Marcel Fugel/ Benjamin Leuchter/ Tom Coronel – Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II

#146 GITI TIRE MOTORSPORT BY WS RACING – Carrie Schreiner/ Janina Schall/ Michelle Halder/ Fabienne Wohlwend – Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992.1)
#320 Four Motors Bioconcept-Car – Smudo/ Henrik Bollerslev/ Marco van Ramshorst/ Nano Lopez – Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992.1)
#632 BLACK FALCON Team FANATEC – Jimmy Broadbent/ Steve Brown/ Misha Charoudin/ Manuel Metzger – Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992.1)

Why the class structure matters

Together, these classes turn the Nürburgring 24 Hours into more than a fight for outright victory. SP9 supplies the headline pace, SP-X and SP-Pro push technical boundaries, GT4 and Cup classes add depth, the production-based groups preserve the event’s club-racing roots, and the AT categories bring future-fuel ideas into the race. As a result, the 2026 field offers a complete cross-section of endurance racing in one event.
