The fascination of the Nürburgring Nordschleife and the flair of the 24 Hours succumb time and again to professional racers and amateur drivers alike. Formula 1 stars in highly tuned touring cars, old Nordschleife veterans in brawny GTs, amateurs in sporty small cars and - above all - 130,000 fans around the track: the international ADAC Zurich Agrippina 24 Hours - Race - Nürburgring lives from the people who gather here for a five-day horsepower spectacle. On the most beautiful, longest and most demanding race track in the world, the long-distance classic took place at the end of May 2001, offering superlatives in all areas. Professionals, celebrities and privateers had to give their all already in qualifying to get one of the 210 available starting places in the race. The challenge of piloting the race cars twice around the clock safely and, above all, quickly over the more than 25 kilometres of track is unparalleled. In an illustrated book with almost 500 colour photos and entertaining text contributions, the biggest motorsport event in the world has been captured and preserved for us and all those who were there, whether as drivers, spectators, team members, industry partners or interested observers in front of the TV screen.
