The agreement with ADAC Nordrhein as the organizer has been extended until 2021. An option for further renewal until 2023 has also been included. SPORTTOTAL LIVE GmbH that has made a significant contribution to the revenue and the result of the LIVE business line in recent years (segment sales: EUR34 million; segment EBIT: EUR1 million) will remain in possession of the moving image and promotional marketing rights for the race and will produce and sell the TV images. The media group RTL and broadcaster NITRO are once again the media partners for the race in the "Green Hell" from May 21 to 24, 2020.

Race organizer Walter Hornung summarizes as follows: "The collaboration between ADAC Nordrhein, SPORTTOTAL and NITRO that is based on partnership has brought the 24h race into new dimensions in recent years. The renewal of the contract with SPORTTOTAL means that all those who contributed to the success in the past will remain on board and that we will be able to present motor sport fans with a superlative racing event." The contract ensures planning reliability for the organizers, the media and sponsors. In addition, a high quality dissemination of the race across all platforms is guaranteed.

Long-standing success story ongoing
"Our company has worked together extremely successfully with ADAC Nordrhein as the organizer of the 24h race for over twenty years," states Matthias Wurm, General Manager of SPORTTOTAL LIVE. "We are looking at very positive development in all areas. In recent times we have been successful in a very challenging environment in revitalizing the enthusiasm of strong brands such as TOTAL, REMUS, H&R and DEKRA for the 24h race." A key component in marketing is the partnership with the RTL media group.
