02.06.2024Scherer Audi wins shortest “Eifel Marathon” in the long history of the 24-hour classic
A first and a new record winner: Scherer PHX won what was probably the most unusual, and definitely the shortest, “Eifel Marathon” in the long history of the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring. In doing so, the team joined its Meuspath neighbours and record winners Manthey on seven overall victories. Ricardo Feller was at the wheel of the #16 Scherer Audi when it crossed the finish line to take victory at 15:15 on Sunday afternoon, the first time the race had been brought to a close before the full 24 hours of racing – and also the first time the race had been neutralised and completed behind the safety car. Joining Feller on the top step of the podium were Dennis Marschall, who like the Swiss was celebrating his maiden 24-hour victory, and the two Audi “veterans” Frank Stippler and Christopher Mies, who each claimed their third success in the Eifel Mountains in front of 240,000 spectators (across the whole weekend).

Clearly regulated: This is how it goes after the cancellation
The procedure after a red flag at the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring is clearly regulated. For many teams, the repair time gained is an unexpected gift, as no parc fermé regulations apply. The race is reset to zero, so to speak, and then restarted when conditions allow. The start takes place in three groups, with the first group lining up (not one behind the other) and the second and third groups setting off from a formation that also forms a line within the first lap. All participants initially resume the race behind a lead vehicle, which pulls out after the first lap. Only then may they accelerate again from the start line.

24h Nürburgring interrupted due to fog
The Eifel weather is once again showing all its facets at the ADAC Ravenol 24h Nürburgring. The light rainfall of the past few hours and slightly rising temperatures are currently causing clouds of fog to form, which are becoming increasingly dense. Race control therefore decided to red flag the race at around 23:15. The leading Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II #16 of Scherer Sport PHX was the first to be waved off after 46 laps. For all participants and the organisers, it is now time to lick their wounds and wait and see. This is because no parc fermé rules apply during the forced break, so the teams can change tyres, refuel and repair damaged vehicles. The start will take place at 8.00 a.m. on Sunday morning at the earliest.

Max Hesse claims pole position for BMW
Max Hesse has secured pole position at the 52nd edition of the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring. Having posted the best times in the qualifying sessions on Thursday and Friday, the 22-year-old in the #72 RMG-BMW was also the fastest driver in the battle for the final grid positions in the second Top Qualifying session. He went round in a time of 8:10.992 minutes, four tenths of a second faster than Belgium’s Laurens Vanthoor in #911 Manthey-Porsche, becoming the youngest driver ever to claim a first Glickenhaus Trophy for securing the pole position, which Vanthoor himself had received in 2018.
