Everything to play for as Endurance Cup title battle resumes at the Nürburgring

 Biggest-ever Nürburgring grid features 61 cars and 10 manufacturers, Long-distance action resumes two months after record-breaking CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa and  Support line-up features GT4 European Series powered by RAFA Racing Club, Lamborghini Super Trofeo and McLaren Trophy Europe

GT World Challenge powered by AWS roars back into action on 29–31 August when a 61-car field tackles a three-hour Endurance Cup race at the Nürburgring.


 

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.

 
The 2026 GT World Challenge Asia powered by AWS calendar is now complete following confirmation of several dates and circuits.


 

It builds on the draft schedule originally released in late June at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa where the dates and destinations of Asia’s first three events – Sepang (Malaysia), Mandalika (Indonesia) and Shanghai (China), which returns to the calendar after a one-year hiatus – were announced.


 

Fuji, which hosts Rounds 7 and 8, remains on the same weekend as this year, while Okayama again stages the second SRO GT PowerTour event – also featuring the Japan Cup – at the end of August. This is no coincidence: logistically, cars and equipment can be easily moved to Suzuka for the 1000km Intercontinental GT Challenge race two weeks later.


 

It’s then on to the Beijing Street Circuit, which retains its mid-October slot. Next season will be the first since 2018 to feature two Chinese events. However, that also leaves no room for Chang in Thailand, which has appeared in all but one GT World Challenge Asia campaign. The venue remains under consideration for 2027.


 

As ever, the calendar comprises 12 one-hour races split across six circuits.


 

China’s nationwide College Entrance Exam prevents Shanghai’s races from being staged on Sunday 7 June. The event’s timetable will be confirmed at a later date.


 

Benjamin Franassovici, SRO Motorsports Group Asia Director: “Most of our 2026 calendar was publicly revealed several weeks ago but it’s good to have all of the details now confirmed so that teams can firm up their plans. Staging a second event in China is, naturally, something that our many Chinese teams and drivers have been calling for, so it makes a lot of sense to add Shanghai – somewhere all of our customers enjoy – alongside Beijing, which will debut later this year. That unfortunately means we cannot visit Chang, which has always been very welcoming and accommodating. I hope the championship can return there one day.”


 

SRO Asia’s other two series, the Japan Cup and SRO GT Cup, will reveal their 2026 calendars in due course.
