Common card · No. 217258

The 2026 Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie was the 49th season of the German endurance series (formerly VLN) run at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and seventh run as the Nürburgring Langstrecken Serie (NLS). The season began on 14 March and finished on 10 October. The fourth race was marred by the death of 66-year-old Finnish racing driver Juha Miettinen. An hour into the race, a suspected fluid leak caused a seven-car pile-up at the Klostertal section of the circuit, which included the No. 27 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3, No. 111 BMW 325i, No. 410 Porsche Cayman GTS, No. 448 Porsche Cayman CM12, No. 503 Toyota GR Supra, No. 992 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992), and Miettinen's No. 121 BMW 325i. All seven drivers were transported to a medical center; Miettinen was pronounced dead following failed resuscitation attempts, while the remaining six drivers sustained minor injuries. His death marked the first driver fatality during a race at the Nürburgring since 2013.
