NLS Adjusts 2026 Calendar for Verstappen’s Nurburgring 24 Hours Participation

The Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) is modifying its 2026 schedule to allow four-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen to compete on the Nordschleife. The Nurburgring 24 Hours, scheduled for May 14-17, does not conflict with any F1 events, but the initial dates for NLS preparation races did. While participating in at least one NLS race was not mandatory for drivers, these adjustments aim to accommodate Verstappen’s involvement. This change highlights the significance of Verstappen’s participation in endurance racing.
