•  Four races as part of the DNLS
• Even bigger starting field than last year
• New AM classification inspired by the PETN

Meuspath. After a successful debut season, the Porsche Esports Endurance Trophy Nürburgring (PEETN) is entering its second season in December. Manthey will once again be running the digital Porsche one-make series over the winter months, providing a professional training environment for racing drivers and an attractive platform for sim racers. In line with the real-life role model, the PEETN will be part of the Digital Nürburgring Endurance Series (DNLS). The virtual Nordschleife will continue to be conquered in the well-known racing simulation iRacing. As a result of high demand last season, the PEETN starting field has been expanded by two starting places for the 2024/25 season, so that 16 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992) are now eligible to start in the Cup 2 class. In the classification, the PEETN takes over an element from the real Porsche one-make series on the Nordschleife: an amateur classification has been added for this season. Drivers will be classified based on a reference lap time similar to the PETN. This means that at the end of the season, not only the PEETN team champion will receive trophies and prize money, but the driver champions and AM-driver champions will also be honored. The championship will be decided in four races, each with a distance of three hours. The festive season finale with all teams and drivers will once again be held as part of the first PETN 2025 events at the Nürburgring.

‘We are proud of the great popularity that the Porsche Esports Endurance Trophy Nürburgring has already achieved in its first season, so there was no question for us of continuing the digital Porsche one-make series. In addition to organising the championship, we are focusing on creating synergies between real and virtual racing in order to give sim racers in particular insights into real motorsport. We are looking forward to a close championship fight,’ explains Julia Klee, project manager of the Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring.

The PEETN season kicks off on 21 December with DNLS1.
