6/18/2026
The sixth round of the ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie marks the start of the second half of the 2026 season. Held on one of the world’s most demanding racetracks, the four-hour endurance race will once again challenge teams, drivers and equipment on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife and Grand Prix circuit combination.
TOYO TIRES with Ring Racing will compete across three classes with a strong driver line-up and race-proven vehicles. In the top SP9 class, PROXES brand ambassador Yuichi Nakayama will share the Mercedes-AMG GT3 #32 with Andreas Gülden and Tim Sandtler. In SP10, Kazuto Kotaka and Miki Koyama will contest the race in the Toyota Supra GT4 #170, while Takuma Miyazono and Masato Kawabata will start in the VT2-RWD class with the Toyota Supra #520.
The team will build on the experience gained during the 24-hour endurance race in May and will continue the development of PROXES slick racing tires engineered for the specific demands of the Nürburgring. With this race, Toyo Tires aims to further strengthen performance, reliability and competitiveness in endurance racing.
Fans can follow the race live via the official NLS YouTube channel. TOYO TIRES with Ring Racing looks forward to strong support as the team takes on another demanding challenge in the “Green Hell.”
