MOORESVILLE, N.C. — SPEED SPORT 1, The Live Racing Network, will present live flag-to- flag coverage of the ADAC Ravenol 24 Hours of Nürburgring. The broadcast will be available free via its website, apps and on select free ad-supported television platforms including Amazon Freevee, Sling Freestream, LocalNow, SportsTV and more.
Dubbed the “biggest race in the world,” the 24 Hours of Nürburgring enters its 52nd year with a vast field of competitors tackling the infamous Nordschleife circuit — the longest closed- course racetrack globally. This year, 130 vehicles will compete across 23 different classes on the 25.378-kilometer track, which combines the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix circuit. More than 450 drivers from more than three dozen nations will participate in this prestigious 24-hour race.
Following its recent launch on Amazon, SPEED SPORT 1 is now accessible in more than 175 million households and devices, serving as the exclusive North American broadcaster for this popular event. Expectations are high for a significant viewership.
“We aired the 24 Hours of Nürburgring live last year when we were in the very early testing stages of SPEED SPORT 1, and the response was overwhelming,” said Joe Tripp, CEO at SPEED SPORT. “Endurance racing fans are passionate, knowledgeable and their expectations are high. I’m confident they’ll be pleased with what they see this weekend.”
“This year’s 24 Hours of Nürburgring promises to be a thrilling spectacle, and we are excited to bring every moment to our viewers,” said Dan Teitscheid, President of SPEED SPORT 1. “Our team is dedicated to delivering the best possible coverage for motorsports fans everywhere.”
