Talk:6 Hours of Nürburgring

message: It adds nothing to the article to list 2nd and 3rd places, especially as there are already full race rseults and reports linked for several years (and hopefully every year in the future).  Listing a podium goes against the established consensus on nearly every motorsports article which lists only the winner.  The359 (talk) 21:29, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Hallo, the 6 Hours of Nürburgring were a race for touring cars but not the 1000-km-Rennen. It is correct that the last one since 2004 were limited to 6 hours but the name was not changed. -- Spurzem (talk) 10:01, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The name was changed, same as the 1000km of Silverstone and Spa which are now titled 6 Hours.  They have all been renamed.  Moving article back. The359 (Talk) 17:29, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  No, the name was not changed. Look in the book ADAC 1000 km Rennen, ISBN 978-3-89880-903-0. There you can see photographs of the program booklets 2006 and 2007 inscribed "1000 km Rennen … Nürburgring". The "6 Hours of Nürburgring" were other races from 1963 to the 1980th and since 2015. But if you mean you should sell a mistake than should do so. Best regards -- Spurzem (talk) 22:28, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  But the 2006 and 2007 races were titled the 1000 km of Nurburgring.  That is why they are listed under the heading of "1000 km distance, 5.1 km circuit".  They were simply stopped before 1000 km because they hit their maximum time limit of six hours.  When the WEC was established in 2012, their events were all changed from 1000 km to 6 hours.  As I said, this change also applies to Silverstone, Spa, Fuji, etc.  This is a continuation of the sports car race.  A touring car race under the same title is not part of this continuation.
