The 2025 Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie was the 48th season of the German endurance series (formerly VLN) run at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and sixth run as the Nürburgring Langstrecken Serie (NLS). The season began on 22 March and finished on 11 October.
Calendar In 2025, the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie introduced "NLS Light," a special 4-hour race that, for the first time, excluded vehicles from the SP9, SPX, SP-Pro, and CUP 2 classes. Additionally, the two Nürburgring 24 Hours Qualifying Races were once again included as part of the NLS season. Race Length Circuit Date 1 NLS1 70.
