Anyone wishing to experience the BELMOT Oldtimer-Grand-Prix in all its glory at the Nürburgring from 7 to 90 August should not just focus on the action on the track. In the paddocks, the AMG Arena and on the ring°boulevard, visitors can see historic racing cars up close. There will also be exhibitions, panel discussions, autograph sessions and plenty of activities organised by our partners. There are also special programme features: dragster show runs, a Le Mans-style start demonstration, the Formula Heritage fan vote and a talk by motorcycling legend Helmut Dähne are just a few of the many highlights in the supporting programme. And best of all: access to the paddock is already included in every ticket. Anyone strolling around the event grounds over the weekend will come across numerous highlights. In the Grand Prix paddock, visitors can view the competing vehicles from most racing series up close, whilst the Historic Paddock is home to the pre-war sports cars of the Vintage Sports Car Trophy and the historic motorbikes of the GrabTheFlag! riders’ association. There will also be opportunities to meet drivers and motorsport legends: Autograph sessions are planned at the Motor-Klassik tent, whilst at the BELMOT stand, Jan Schmitz will be hosting panel discussions with guests from the worlds of racing, the classic car scene and the automotive market. For selected races, he will also be providing commentary on the cars and drivers in the pre-start area before they head out onto the track. Schnitzer Classic brings together original historic vehicles and former racing partners in panel discussions, with many of them taking the time to answer questions in detail: As a tribute to the unforgettable Herbert Schnitzer Sr., Schnitzer Classic will feature not only an impressive line-up of cars but also panel discussions with the prominent drivers taking part. The discussions will be expertly moderated by Karsten Arndt, the man behind the popular classic car podcast ‘Alte Schule’. The weekend’s winners will also be on display on the podium, which takes centre stage after each race. To complement the ClassOne Revival on the circuit, supported by BMW Classic, Audi will also be showcasing vehicles from its more recent motorsport history on the Sport Renntruck, such as the RS5 DTM (2020) and the R18 (2015). A real eye-catcher there: the original 2020 DTM winner’s trophy. A race weekend with spectacular extrasThe “programme alongside the programme” is making a big impression this year. Dragster show runs will bring blistering acceleration to the start-finish straight on Saturday and Sunday, whilst the Le Mans-style start demonstration and the subsequent fireworks display will provide the backdrop to Saturday’s evening race. Formula fans can vote for their favourites in the five Formula Heritage classes via the OGP website. The crowd favourites will be presented with ‘Design Awards’ over the weekend. Motorcycle legend Helmut Dähne will give a talk on Saturday about the highlights of his career – attendance is by prior free registration only (also via the OGP website). In addition, the multiple Tourist Trophy winner and Nordschleife record holder will be spending time in the historic motorcycles area, where his winning BMW R 90 S will also be on display. Other exhibits include the 1927 Caracciola Mercedes and a major Bugatti display in the Historic Paddock on Sunday. Spectacular vehicles will also be on show in the GP paddock in the Maserati area – where the 100th anniversary of the distinctive trident in the brand’s logo will be celebrated. OGP partners enrich the programmeThe partners of the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix are also creating additional meeting points in and around the paddock – led by BELMOT: at the stand of the event’s namesake, Jan Schmitz will be hosting panel discussions on exciting topics, and he will also be accompanying selected pre-start line-ups. The Motor-Klassik tent is the venue for the All-Star autograph sessions. There’s also a connoisseur’s competition or simply a cup of coffee for a quick break. On the ring°boulevard, Classicbid will be presenting the vehicles up for auction on Saturday from 2.00 pm to 3.00 pm. In addition, the classic car specialists offer the opportunity to purchase a classic car via direct sale, even without taking part in the auction. Junghans is supporting the OGP as the Official Timing Partner and will be showcasing, amongst other things, a BMW M1 and the Toyota TF106, whilst also donating a Junghans Meister S Automatic with a special engraving to the winner of the Touring Car Golden Era. Well prepared for the OGPVisitors are advised to take a look at the event’s digital information resources. The official website is the central point of contact. There you’ll find information, news, photo galleries and more. The visitor guide, organised by area, and the fan timetable will help you plan your personal highlights of the weekend. Tickets are also available via the website – and the terms are particularly attractive: access to the paddock is included with every ticket. Families benefit in particular, as children and young people up to and including the age of 17 enjoy free entry when accompanied by an adult ticket holder.

Our Nürburgring highlights in August

28.07.2026

August: Motorsport Month: Over the coming weeks, one top-class racing event after another will take place at the Nürburgring. The highlights will be the DTM races (14–16 August) and the Oldtimer Grand Prix (7–9 August). But the GT World Challenge (28–30 August) and the 6-hour race of the Nürburgring Endurance Series (1 August) are also definitely worth a trip to the Eifel. Here are the Nürburgring highlights for August: Two extra hours in the Green Hell: the NLS 6-hour race | 1 August 2026An extra dose of racing on the Nordschleife: the traditional 6-hour race of the ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie is coming up. But the seventh NLS round of the year offers far more than just two extra hours of racing. Fans can look forward to a long race day in August with a well-filled starting grid. Even after the 24-hour race, the organisers were recently delighted with high entry numbers, so we can expect well over 100 racing cars. These include lightning-fast GT cars, numerous production-based touring cars and an ever-increasing number of vehicles running on alternative fuels. For 25 euros (children under 14 free), fans gain access to the grandstands, the paddock and even the pit walk, as well as the starting grid before the race. Anyone wishing to enjoy an endurance race as an exclusive experience can opt for the VIP ticket for 295 euros, which includes a guided bus tour of the Nordschleife, a VIP shuttle to the circuit, and delicious food and drinks. There is also the ‘RACE & LUNCH’ ticket, available for 210 euros. Dream cars of yesteryear: 53rd BELMOT Classic Car Grand Prix | 7 to 9 August 2026Year after year, it’s Germany’s most beautiful automotive journey through time – and 2026 is no exception, with a star-studded line-up. On the second weekend in August, the 53rd BELMOT Classic Car Grand Prix will become a reunion of motorsport legends. Racing greats such as Uwe Alzen, Christian Danner and Leopold, Prince of Bavaria, will be getting behind the wheel once again. Meanwhile, on the tarmac of the Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit, a lightning-fast and thunderously loud museum of motorsport awaits: the line-up ranges from Group 5 monsters such as the fiery Ford Capri Turbo, through timeless rarities like the Porsche 550 A Spyder and Aston Martin DB4 GT, to Formula cars from various eras. Cars from the DTM – including the 2012 BMW championship-winning car – bridge the gap to the more recent past. The Saturday evening race featuring historic sports cars is traditionally a highlight. Fans can experience this feast for the eyes and ears from as little as 35 euros – including access to the paddock; the full weekend can be booked from 89 euros. Children and young people up to the age of 17 go free. The VIP packages, starting at 450 euros, promise first-class comfort in a historic setting. Big names, thrilling racing: DTM at the Nürburgring | 14 to 16 August 2026 Glock, Grello or 24-hour winner Maro Engel: in mid-August, the big names in German motorsport will return to the Nürburgring. At stake is the DTM crown – for more than 40 years, THE racing series in our country. Their arena? The Nürburgring’s sprint circuit: 3.629 kilometres – short, tight and renowned for lap-after-lap battles for position. Fans can look forward to two days of racing on Saturday and Sunday (each featuring qualifying and a race), spectacular pit stops and a diverse line-up of cars from eight different manufacturers. The DTM offers plenty to keep you entertained for a long day of racing in the Eifel – or even a whole weekend. Whether it’s the supporting races such as the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup, the numerous stands and attractions in and around the paddock (included in the admission price), or up-close experiences such as the pit walk with an autograph session or the Track Safari. Day tickets for race days are available from 49 euros, and weekend tickets from 69 euros. Also available: ‘RACE&LUNCH’ options (from 280 euros) and VIP packages from 450 euros. Classic two-wheelers to marvel at: Cologne Circuit | 22–23 August 2026On the fourth weekend in August, the engines certainly don’t fall silent – they simply change a gear. The MSC Porz invites you to the traditional Cologne Circuit on the Grand Prix track. This event has been a fixture since 1991 and will be held this year as an official round of the VFV German Historic Motorcycle Championship. Vintage motorcycle enthusiasts can marvel at historic racing machines from various eras. The absolute crowd favourites are the spectacular starts of the vintage sidecars and the high-speed races of the supersport bikes and superbikes. Day tickets are available from 10 euros and – like all tickets this weekend – include free access to the grandstand and the paddock. 60 GT cars and motorcycling icon Rossi: GT World Challenge | 28 to 30 August 2026 60 supercars on a 5.1-kilometre Grand Prix circuit: there’ll be plenty of traffic on the track during the GT World Challenge powered by AWS’s guest appearance. The world’s largest GT series will deliver thrilling duels during its 3-hour race on Sunday. The field of entrants is huge – and, at the same time, packed with top-class contenders. The starting line-up includes Nordschleife favourites such as the ROWE BMW, the Red Bull-branded Mercedes-AMG from Verstappen Racing and the powerful Ford Mustang from HRT. Experience suggests that the biggest crowds will gather around the number 46 BMW: motorbike legend Valentino Rossi will be behind the wheel – and spectators can be there to watch. Tickets grant free access to the paddock and are available from 10 euros (weekend ticket: 40 euros). A special treat awaits as part of the supporting programme: in the new GT3 Revival Series, rare legendary sports cars such as the BMW Z4 and the Mercedes-Benz SLS will take to the track.

Nürburgring Caravan Park Expands Its Accommodation Options

31.03.2026

The Nürburgring is continuing to expand its tourism offerings in a targeted manner. With the new Caravan Park, an additional year-round accommodation option for RV travelers has been created in the immediate vicinity of the racetrack’s center. A total of 39 parking spaces expand the on-site offerings. The Nürburgring Caravan Park is located along the A7 on the edge of the forest, yet just a few steps away from central hubs such as the info°center, the ring°boulevard, and the dining and leisure options at the ring°carré. This location thus combines nature-oriented accommodations with direct access to events and experiences in the legendary Green Hell. The facility is aimed at event attendees, motorsports fans, and independent travelers looking to explore the Eifel region. 39 campsites accessible around the clockThe Caravan Park features 39 sites in three sizes (M, XL, and XXL) and is open year-round. The facility offers round-the-clock access to infrastructure including electricity, fresh water connections, and disposal options for wastewater and toilet cassettes. On-site restroom facilities round out the offerings. Bookings are made entirely online via the Nürburgring website. Prices start at 13 euros per night during the off-season (November through February). During the season (March through October, excluding events), a site can be booked starting at 17 euros. During events, prices start at 65 euros per night. Expanding the overall tourism offeringWith the Caravan Park, the Nürburgring is expanding its lodging options to include another choice right on-site. In combination with the accommodations at Nürburgring Hotels & Ferienpark and the existing infrastructure, the Nürburgring is strengthening its role as a versatile destination. In addition to around 60 events between March and November, as well as year-round experiences, dining, and leisure activities, the Nürburgring is thus creating another opportunity to tailor stays to individual preferences and needs.
