The simulated version of the Nürburgring 24h endurance race is possibly one of the most iconic esports racing events of the year, and it crowned its winners over the weekend.
The field was split into five different classes: GT3, Cup, GT4, TCR, and M2.
The GT3 class ended with a spectacular win for the #3 BMW M Verstappen Sim Racing. The winning team also broke some records, including the longest race with 177 laps (the previous record was 176) and the largest gap between winner and runner-up. #150 Williams F1 Team Gaming ranked second, while #1 Drago Racing white placed third.
The Cup Class ended with a one-two win for Coanda Esports, with the #08 team placing first and the #18 team coming in second place. Grid and Go.com Esports completed the podium in third place.
The GT4 class crowned the #190 Szeze Esport team as the winner, followed by #76 SMRC and #86 RDV Compétition Unity.
The TCR class had both Scherer Esport cars on the podium, with team #415 on the top spot and #416 in third place, with #23 WSR Esports placing second between them.
Lastly, the M2 class saw the win of the #7 Simufy Esports Orange team, followed by #17 Team RSO and #083 Blocco Motore in second and third place, respectively.

If you’re unfamiliar with iRacing, it’s a subscription-based, esports-focused racing simulation platform on PC considered by many to be one of the most realistic in the industry. It features precisely simulated cars and LIDAR-scanned tracks that reproduce their real counterparts, making it popular among many real racing drivers who use it for training.
It’s also an attractive esports platform as it features racing regulations closely related to the ones used in real motorsports to create an online esports environment that feels as professional as possible, encouraging clean racing, racecraft, and fair play over winning or placing high in the rankings (albeit the events described in this article cast some shadow on these ideals).
iRacing partners with several real-world racing series and organizations, including Nascar, IMSA, the FIA, and many more.
Lately, the company behind the platform launched iRacing Studios, extending its reach to console gaming and simulation with the iRacing Arcade, Nascar 25, iRacing Arcade, and an IndyCar sim coming at some point in 2026.
Recently, we also got a glimpse at upcoming projects and updates coming to the main iRacing sim down the line.
