NLS je sklop šestih dirkaških vzdržljivostnih 4-urnih dirk z eno 6-urno dirko, vključeno v program. NLS je zelo priljubljena dirkaška serija, v kateri se za vsak krog zbere okoli sto udeležencev, množično občinstvo pa obišče Nürburgring, da bi si ogledalo dogajanje.

Del surovin za dirkalno pnevmatiko so trajnostni materiali. Najnovejši Proxes slick uporablja rastlinsko olje, silicijev dioksid iz riževih luščin in reciklirano žico iz kroglic. Toyo pnevmatike bodo podatke in znanje, pridobljene z vzdržljivostnimi dirkami, uporabile pri razvoju prihodnjih visokokakovostnih in visoko zmogljivih izdelkov. Razvoj prispeva k politiki Toyo Tires »uresničevanja trajnostnega življenja mobilnosti«.
