I think the problem with the Nurburgring 24 was the withdrawal of factory touring car teams in the late 1990s. Didn't BMW win it back in '98 (with a diesel, possibly)? But then it seemed to become a sort of mix'n'match club event with only a few high-profile drivers. Hopefully it'll pick up again now, as it should be one of the classic enduros, run on THE classic track. (Oh, for it to be on the FIA GT calendar...)
