NLS 2027 arrive & drive

Real endurance racing on the Nordschleife: the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie. In 2027 the NLS celebrates its 50th anniversary and the Nürburgring its 100th — and you race in our own BMW 125i M, with our own crew.

What is the NLS?

Endurance racing in the Green Hell

The NLS is the endurance series of the Nordschleife. A race usually lasts 4 hours; you share the car with team-mates and drive in stints, with pit stops and driver changes.

For the NLS you need a DMSB Permit Nordschleife. In our 125i M — category B — Permit B is sufficient. And after one good race, Permit A is within reach.

How an NLS race works

Endurance as a team

Usually 4 hours

An NLS race usually lasts 4 hours. In 2027 the calendar also includes a 6-hour race and a double weekend with 2 × 4 hours.

Shared car

You share the car with team-mates. Everyone drives their own stints; together you bring the car to the finish.

Stints and pit stops

Driver changes, refuelling, strategy: we handle the pit stops with our own crew.

On the way to Permit A

At least 1 penalty-free race result and at least 8 laps in a category B car — and you have Permit A. After that, our category A cars are available on request.
