The yearly Nurburgring 24 Hours has been postponed to September, with the original dates of the 23rd and 24th of May not being deemed as safe by the event's organisers.

May to September

The endurance race is the next to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic. Interestingly, Formula 1 initially targeted the very same weekend for the sport to return, but the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring being cancelled will most likely mean F1 will have to wait for longer as well.

The new dates for the race in the Green Hell are the 26th and 27th of September, making other series like the VLN move.

The qualifying session, which was originally planned for April, has also been cancelled. Organisers have made clear any ticket purchase will be valid for the new date, and refunds are available for anyone who can't make it in September.
