By that time, about 40 years had passed since the first petrol-engined car became available, and motorcars had already begun to spread among the upper-class people in Europe. So naturally, some of them took up to compete with their vehicles, initially on the public roads. However, as the cars were improved in performance and became faster and faster the danger of racing on the roads significantly increased. Thus, German motorists in the Eifel area wanted a dedicated closed race track, and the 28km-long N\u00fcrburgring was constructed.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the circuit has hosted a wide variety of race meetings, from local events for amateur racers to Formula One races. In 1970, the inaugural N\u00fcrburgring 24-hour race was held as a local event mainly for non-professional drivers. However, it gradually attracted more and more participants from around the world. The pure privateers were joined by some professional manufacturer teams, whose aims were car development or sales promotion. As a result, the around-the-clock race has grown into one of the global motorsport events and has more than 150 cars on its entry list over recent years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"GallerySliderContenet\" >\n<div class=\"GalleryIn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cp\/motorsports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ms_22_nbr_ov_ph_01.jpg\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"[Photo]\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"GalleryIn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cp\/motorsports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ms_22_nbr_ov_ph_02.jpg\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"[Photo]\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"GalleryIn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cp\/motorsports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ms_22_nbr_ov_ph_03.jpg\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"[Photo]\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"GalleryIn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cp\/motorsports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ms_22_nbr_ov_ph_04.jpg\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"[Photo]\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"GalleryIn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cp\/motorsports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ms_22_nbr_ov_ph_05.jpg\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"[Photo]\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"GalleryIn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cp\/motorsports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ms_22_nbr_ov_ph_06.jpg\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"[Photo]\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 60px;\">\n<p>Meanwhile, in 1977, the race organizing clubs which run their endurance races at N\u00fcrburgring created a new series, VLN (Veranstaltergemeinschaft Langstreckenpokal N\u00fcrburgring), under the unified rules and regulations. It was renamed NLS (N\u00fcrburgring Langstrecken-Serie) in 2020, as it is known today.<\/p>\n<p>While the series hasn\u2019t included the 24-hour race in recent years, this doesn&#8217;t mean they have no relevance to each other anymore. Firstly, the teams who want to enter the 24-hour are required a record of participation in an NLS race. On top of this, competing in an NLS event, especially those in the early season, effectively becomes an opportunity to do a simulation for the 24-hour race. Of course, the NLS races themselves are popular and attractive, and a wide variety of drivers, from young guns to veterans, including professionals and gentleman drivers, are racing hard in the series.<\/p>\n<p>It has been true for both the 24-hour and NLS events that the races are so unpredictable at N\u00fcrburgring where, it&#8217;s been said, a &#8220;demon&#8221; lives. For example, the 24-hour races in 2020 and 2021 had prolonged interruptions because of sudden heavy rain or thick fog. So, the around-the-clock race through the Eifel forest is a brutal test of not only the cars&#8217; speed and durability but also the comprehensive strength of the teams, including the ability of race management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"showroom_single\" style=\"margin-top: 60px;\">\n<div class=\"showroom_spec\">\n<h3 class=\"headline\">Yokohama Tire in N\u00fcrburgring<\/h3>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div style=\"\">\n<p style=\"margin: 10px 0 0;\">The characteristics of the N\u00fcrburgring circuit are unique among the world&#8217;s race tracks and are very hard on both cars and tires. Therefore, many car and tire manufacturers use this track as a proving ground, especially for their performance-oriented products. Yokohama Tire also has a test center here to hone the tire performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 10px 0 0;\">Yokohama Tire provides the specifically developed tires for the cars that would race at N\u00fcrburgring, even if the car models were built under unified international specifications, such as GT3, and the company already knew about them in the other series. It is because the requirement for tires here at N\u00fcrburgring is very different from any other race track. For example, the cars&#8217; average speed is much faster here, and the external load on tires due to the track surface&#8217;s undulation is so high.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tableDesign\" style=\"margin-top: 60px;\">\n<h3 class=\"styled_h2\">LINK<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/cp\/global\/motorsports\/2022ms\/nbr\/\">24H N\u00fcrburgring \/ NLS 2022 Index<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/cp\/global\/motorsports\/2022ms\/nbr\/ms_22_nbr_overview\/\">Category Outline<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nuerburgring-langstrecken-serie.de\/en\/startseite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[LINK] Official Website<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HOME Motorsports 2022 Motorsports 2022 24H N\u00fcrburgring \/ NLS 2022 24H N\u00fcrburgring \/ NLS(N\u00fcrburgring Langstreck [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1099,"parent":60,"menu_order":14,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1101","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.y-yokohama.com\/cp\/global\/motorsports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.y-yokohama.com\/cp\/global\/motorsports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.y-yokohama.com\/cp\/global\/motorsports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.y-yokohama.com\/cp\/global\/motorsports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.y-yokohama.com\/cp\/global\/motorsports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1101"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.y-yokohama.com\/cp\/global\/motorsports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1255,"href":"https:\/\/www.y-yokohama.com\/cp\/global\/motorsports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1101\/revisions\/1255"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.y-yokohama.com\/cp\/global\/motorsports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/60"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.y-yokohama.com\/cp\/global\/motorsports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.y-yokohama.com\/cp\/global\/motorsports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
