Gallery: the motorsport party that is the Nürburgring 24 Hours

5.7 seconds separated the top two in the N24’s closest ever finish

  • As weekends of motorsport go, the one we’ve just witnessed wasn’t half bad. Lewis Hamilton won an eventful Monaco Grand Prix, while the 100th edition of the Indy 500 ended in spectacular fashion as rookie Alexander Rossi claimed a stunning victory with barely any fuel left in his car.

    Meanwhile at the Nürburgring, the carnival atmosphere was coupled with an enthralling race that was decided right at the death. Marco Engel – driving the #4 Black Falcon Mercedes – snatched the lead from counterpart Christian Hohenadel with a brave move on the final lap of the race, surviving contact with a backmarker to take the chequered flag.

    The 5.7-second gap to second place was the smallest in the history of the race, far surpassing the previous record of 40 seconds that split the top two in 2015.
