This weekend, the Nürburgring Nordschleife will stage the 44th ADAC Zurich 24h-Race.

On Saturday, for instance, prior to the start of the main event, the crowds will be provided top racing at its best by popular series such as the FIA World Touring Car Championship, WTCC, FIA European Touring Car Cup, ETCC, and the Audi Sport TT Cup. All race series RAVENOL is involved in both as team partner and as series partner. Furthermore, RAVENOL is official lubricant partner of the Nürburgring 24h Race.
