The Red Bull Ring is set to host the 24H Series European Series for the first time in a decade next year, following Creventic’s reveal of its 2027 calendar.
The Austrian venue, which hosted its only previous 24H Series event in 2017, will host a 12-hour race from 14th to 16th May, as part of a five-round schedule.
The season begins at Mugello on 19th to 21st March, before heading to Spa-Francorchamps on 9th to 11th April.
The Red Bull Ring will host Round 3, with the Circuit Paul Ricard taking the series into its summer break on 4th to 6th June.
The first four rounds will all be 12-hour races, before the season concludes with its traditional finale, the Michelin 24H Barcelona, on 10th to 12th September 2027.
The Nürburgring, therefore, has dropped off the schedule after making its maiden appearance this year.
The format for each event will be announced in due course, although it has been confirmed that each round will be preceded by a pair of track days, and the Radical Cup Europe will be a permanent fixture on the support package.
In 2026, each 12-hour race is split into two segments, with only the 24H Barcelona running continuously.
“We are very pleased to present a 2027 calendar with such a clear identity: five outstanding Grand Prix circuits, four 12-hour races and the 24H Barcelona as our season finale. It gives our teams continuity at venues they know and value, while the return of the Red Bull Ring adds something genuinely special,” said Helen Roukens, general manager at Creventic.
“The compact five-round format is attractive for teams. It provides 72 hours of racing at five leading circuits without creating an oversized calendar, making a complete championship campaign realistic and worthwhile for professional organisations and ambitious privateer teams alike.
“We therefore expect full-season entries to grow again in 2027, continuing the positive development of recent seasons. We look forward to welcoming our competitors to five fantastic events in 2027.’’
