The renewed unrest within the community around racing at the Nürburgring has received something of a wake-up call today with a conclusive statement from ILN, the group established by several of the major players in NLS/ VLN and the N24 and which aims to “consistently represent the interests of both large and, in particular, small teams in the Nürburgring Langstrecken Series (NLS) and the Rundstrecken Challenge Nürburgring (RCN), as well as in the 24-hour race on the Eifel circuit.”

Belgian looking forward to “living the dream x2” by stepping out of “comfort zone” to race Porsche, McLaren in 2027…

If the rumors are true, seeing him and Palou share the same car would be insane

Fausto Mattei grabbed some shots of an unusual ‘prototype’ being tested at Monza a couple of weeks ago.

Hey all.
I’m attending my first full race week at Silverstone, I’ve only ever done day visits there for ELMS and F1 practice but have some questions about staying there.

I’ll be taking cameras etc and all that business, wondering how will I be able to charge devices there and replenish batteries while camping? Is there electrical services to charge devices ?

I’ve also never camped; assuming there would be showering facilities there and things like that to be able to keep on top of personal hygiene?

What other advice would you be able to offer for someone camping and any tips/tricks and useful information would you be able to offer ?

TIA!

Hey guys, wondering if there are any YouTube channels that cover the WEC similar to what FJ Endurance do.
Additionally if anyone knows any Instagram pages as well.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Ian James provides insight on possible Aston Martin Valkyrie Evo joker updates…

Hi, all! 3rd time in Monza, but 1st time for WEC Monza weekend. Have a couple of questions.

1) Is there a way to visit the old banking part of the track on some of the days? During F1, it was closed unless you climbed a hill under it.

2) During the Imola weekend there was an autograph session in town (not the paddock), will there be a similar thing in Monza now, or was it a prologue thing? Maybe because it's finale, we should expect the same thing?

3) Will the train that comes directly to the track be working for the weekend? I think it was coming to Lesmo, but maybe there is another stop also. Or what will be the best way to get to the track?

4) I can visit any grandstand with GA ticket right?

5) Your personal top choice to take photos from? Some places at Monza are much closer to the road as i remember, so you can get much sharper photos and feel the gust from cars

How did Winward Mercedes take the GTWC Endurance Cup with one round in hand?

Comtoyou Racing managed to convert pole to win at the Nürburgring, as an eventful race gave the team its second 2026 win, whilst Maro Engel, Lucas Auer and Luca Stolz were crowned Endurance Cup champions in the penultimate event, courtesy of a fourth place finish.​

​Comtoyou Racing's No.007 Aston Martin topped GT World Chellenge Europe's penultimate Endurance event qualifying, ahead of Team GetSpeed and Lionspeed GP, with the championship leading No.48 Mann-Filter Mercedes down in eighth.​

This will be my first WEC race in person.

I've been to a few imsa and they have an app that I can listen to the broadcast. Is there something similar I can do while I walk around the track

Love to see our beloved sport having its pressense felt outside the track
