Several dates at the Nürburgring in April are proving to be real visitor magnets. In addition to the well-known motorcycle season opener 'Anlassen' (April 27), thousands of ring fans are traditionally expected in the Eifel region over the entire Easter weekend (April 18-21). The exciting second race of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (April 26) is also taking place – an important test for many teams in preparation for the 24-hour race. The Nürburgring Drift Cup also starts its season on the same weekend (April 26th-27th). Classic car fans also get their money's worth in the fourth month of the year. The After Work Classics invites all owners of historic vehicles to the Grand Prix circuit for the first time in 2025 on April 22nd. A brief overview of the highlights: “Anlassen” motorcycle service | April 27Thousands of motorcyclists and their joint ride over the famous 20.832 kilometers of the Nordschleife: the two-wheeler parade at “Anlassen” is an extraordinary experience for the two-wheeler community every year. This year, the Nürburgring is once again inviting all motorcyclists to the season opener. On Sunday, April 27, thousands of bikers are expected in the Eifel again. From early morning, demonstrations, hands-on activities and various exhibitors will lure visitors to the paddock of the Ring before “Anlassen” reaches its climax: with a special two-wheeler church service and the joint convoy across the famous asphalt of the race track at the end. As every year, admission to the event is free. Easter weekend at the Nürburgring | April 18-21Four days of tourist trips in a row: Easter is traditionally also a celebration for Nürburgring enthusiasts. Both the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix circuit are open to everyone from Good Friday to Easter Monday (April 18 to 21). Visitors can take to the legendary asphalt in their own vehicles all day long. The Easter tourist trips are a real magnet for visitors: thousands of automobile fans from all over the world usually flock to the Eifel for a short vacation during this weekend. And there is also plenty to discover off the track at the Nürburgring destination: driving fun for children and adults on the ring°kart track, family fun with historic racing cars in the ring°werk motorsport adventure museum, fascinating digital action in the Nürburgring eSports Bar – and maybe the Easter Bunny will even leave a little something for loved ones in the ring°fanshop. ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie | April 26Racing action on the legendary Nordschleife: The second race of the ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) this season will take place on Saturday, April 26, at the most demanding race track in the world. Many top teams have already announced their participation, as it is an important milestone for many of them before the 24-hour race in June. The key points of the NLS: More than 120 race cars at the same time – from the lightning-fast Ferrari GT3 to the production-based BMW – compete in a demanding race over four hours on the combination of the Nordschleife and Grand Prix circuit. And the best thing about it is that fans get to be really close. The ticket (adults €25, children under 14 free) includes the paddock, the starting grid and access to the grandstands. Nürburgring Drift Cup | April 26 & 27It's not just since the Fast and Furious movies that car fans have known: perfect drifts are a fine art. Year after year, talented drifts from all over Europe come to the Nürburgring Drift Cup in the Müllenbachschleife. On the traditional section of the Grand Prix circuit, they compete against each other in direct duels in front of critical judges. The high-powered vehicles deliver a great sound backdrop and the pilots give everything for the perfect drift. The first date in 2025 is the last weekend in April, April 26-27, and will be held concurrently with the NürburgringLangstrecken-Serie and the motorcycle church service “Anlassen”. Tickets are already available for 20 euros (adult day ticket). After Work Classics | 22. AprilFor several years now, the After Work Classics have been promising classic car enthusiasts a truly memorable experience. During these sessions, the Grand Prix circuit is open exclusively to vehicles that are at least 30 years old. The first session of the After Work Classics in 2025 will take place on Tuesday, April 22, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The same conditions apply as for normal tourist rides: for 35 euros, there is also a 15-minute stint for classic rides.

Ready for a full-throttle 2025: the engines will finally start up at the Nürburgring in March. And once again, the event calendar is full to bursting: 60 events make the Eifel race track a worthwhile destination for many good reasons well into the fall. Racing spectacle, festival summer, comedy evening or family outing: the Nürburgring will make hearts beat faster again this year. They belong to the Ring as much as the champagne shower on the podium: crowd-pullers such as the Nürburgring 24 Hours, the DTM, Rock am Ring, the Truck Grand Prix and the Oldtimer Grand Prix will once again attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Eifel this year. A fast-paced mix that includes around 60 public events between March and November alone. Major events alternate with hands-on motor sports and small after-work pleasures, such as the Nürburgring cycling and running club or the Afterwork Classics. One of the highlights will be the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring. On the Corpus Christi weekend (June 19-22), well over 100 race cars will take on the ultimate challenge: 24 hours non-stop on the most demanding track in the world. A spectacle – also because of its passionate fans. Tens of thousands will be camping along the track, creating the unique atmosphere of the Ring. One new feature this year is a particularly family-friendly camping option in the new Family & Friends area. If you enjoy the thrilling and close racing on the Nordschleife, there are many other opportunities to experience racing action in the Green Hell throughout the year at the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series and the RCN circuit racing challenge. The International ADAC Truck Grand Prix is also a real experience. For decades, Germany's truckers have been celebrating Christmas with country music, camping and fast-paced racing. This year, the truckers will be on the loose from July 11 to 13. The traditional music festival has recently undergone a rejuvenation. The revamped Saturday evening program now features well-known party artists, and affordable single-day tickets are available for this event. Europe's most famous racing series, the DTM (August 8-10), will once again be a guest on the Nürburgring's sprint track – and will shine with a wide variety of brands, familiar faces and thrilling racing. Or how about a journey back in time to the last century of motorsport? With the Nürburgring Classic (June 13-15), the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix (August 1-3) and the ADAC 1000 km race (September 20-21), three events are dedicated to historic racing cars. Indoor events from comedy to sportsThere will be plenty of laughter and celebration off the track this year: Comedian Carolin Kebekus will be making a guest appearance in the ring°arena in the fall (September 20) with her celebrated Shesus tour. NightWash Live will also be bringing stand-up comedy to the Nürburgring again this year, on November 15. And at Darts am Ring, some of the world's best dart throwers will transform the ring°arena into a madhouse together with many celebrating darts fans on March 29 – just like at the big role model, the Ally Pally. The Nürburgring Family Day on October 26 and the Job Fair on November 7 and 8 round off the indoor highlights. And because the Nürburgring is not just about watching, other hands-on events are looking forward to motivated participants. Whether on two wheels at Rad am Ring (July 18-20), on foot at the Hotfoot Run (May 10), or with the powerful Gargenschatz at GRIP - das Motorevent (July 6). Speaking of garage treasures: Numerous tourist driving days are planned again for all petrol heads, during which anyone can drive on the ring. The Nordschleife and Grand Prix circuit will open their barriers on well over 100 days.

The Nürburgring has restructured its offering for motorcyclists. The most important change is that motorcycles and cars will no longer be on the tracks at the same time. To make the Nürburgring experience particularly safe for bikers, the track operator is introducing professional training and exclusive time slots for two-wheelers from this season onwards. The Nürburgring's tourist rides are a popular attraction for everyone. Anyone with their own vehicle can take a turn on the Grand Prix circuit and the Nordschleife during opening hours. “The safety of all participants is our top priority,” explains Nürburgring Managing Director Ingo Böder, drawing attention to a crucial finding in this context: ”We have taken a very close look at the situation regarding the simultaneous participation of cars and motorcycles in tourist trips.” The analysis revealed that “the different driving dynamics can lead to misunderstandings between two- and four-wheelers,” says Böder. “In this case, motorcyclists are particularly at risk because, unlike car drivers, they have no crumple zone. That is why we have decided to strictly separate cars and motorcyclists in the future and to restructure the offer for bikers so that they can enjoy the Nürburgring experience as safely as possible.” Training with guided driving for motorcyclists on the NordschleifeThe restructuring plan provides for different options for the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix circuit. In the future, motorcyclists will only be able to experience the 21-kilometre Nordschleife under the supervision of trained guides during training sessions and courses. Four full-day sessions will be offered for motorcyclists in 2025. The Motorrad Action Team (July 30-31) and ADAC Doc-Scholl Driver Training (August 13-14) are each organizing full-day training formats for two-wheelers. The subdivision into different groups makes the offer suitable for beginners as well as for very experienced Nordschleife connoisseurs. “These offers enable participants to experience the unique but challenging track under professional guidance and controlled conditions,” explains Ingo Böder. Grand Prix circuit: exclusive motorcycle stints and a wide range of training coursesMotorcyclists can continue to take part in tourist trips on the Grand Prix circuit. On the much more extensive track, bikers will benefit from exclusive stints during opening hours. These can be flexibly arranged according to the daily volume of two-wheelers and can be easily implemented on the 5.1-kilometer-long track. The exclusive stints for two-wheelers should provide a high level of riding comfort and increased safety for bikers thanks to the uniform driving lines. According to current planning, the Grand Prix circuit will open a total of 38 times in 2025. In addition, motorcycle training and track days will also take place here. Under the guidance of Speer Racing and Ducati 4U, there will be nine dates from May to September that are aimed exclusively at bikers. Flexibility and return options for season tickets and creditMotorcyclists who already have a season ticket or a credit balance for the tourist rides can continue to use these for the offer on the Grand Prix circuit. In the future, the personal credit for the Nordschleife can only be used if the driver participates in the tourist trips with a car. Alternatively, the Nürburgring offers the possibility to easily return season tickets or credit. The Nürburgring info°center is available for this return process.

Tickets cost €22 and include access to the pit lane, the starting grid, the grandstands and specially designated spectator areas on the Nordschleife, as well as free entry to the ring°werk motorsport museum.

With the current season still in full swing at the Nürburgring, the race track and event location is already giving a preview of the coming year. From international highlights to event exotics and from motorsport to entertainment, the 2025 calendar once again promises the unique Nürburgring mix. A current overview: Exciting motorsport highlights in the Green HellNaturally, the world's longest permanent race track is also characterised by an attractive motorsport calendar in 2025. Particularly popular with fans: endurance motorsport on the Nordschleife. The highlight is the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring, which will once again put man and machine to the ultimate test from 19 to 22 June 2025 and promise a gigantic motorsport party together with tens of thousands of fans. As usual, the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) will kick off the motorsport year. After the first race on 22 March, eight more race days will follow until October, each of which usually falls on a Saturday. Only on 13 and 14 September are two race days scheduled on one weekend for the NLS and therefore also the only race Sunday in the series. The dates of the Nürburgring Rundstrecken Challenge (RCN) are another Nordschleife format on the calendar. Regularity and performance tests offer popular sport from road-legal to race-ready vehicles. From GT3 to XXL: thrilling motorsport from racing cars to race trucksFans of thrilling motorsport will once again get their money's worth on the Grand Prix circuit. The giants of motorsport will compete against each other on the sprint version of the International ADAC Truck Grand Prix from 10 - 13 July. Every year, the event delights visitors with a family-friendly concept of motorsport, festival, colourful paddock and trade fair. Included in the supporting programme: the ADAC GT Masters. The Fanatec GT World Challenge (29 - 31 August) and the Porsche Sports Cup (30 May - 1 June) will feature high-quality racing cars from the world's best-known automotive brands. The Nürburgring Drift Cup, which will host its first round on 26 and 27 April, and GRIP - the motor event that will attract the tuning community to the Eifel on 6 July, are also high on horsepower and, above all, action-packed drifting. The date for the DTM at the Nürburgring has already been finalised. However, fans will have to wait a little longer before the announcement. The racing series will present its annual calendar in the coming days. Experiences with music and muscle powerAway from the roaring sounds of engines, powerful guitar riffs await at the beginning of June. Rock am Ring will get visitors' hearts racing from 6 to 8 June. According to the recently published first wave of bands, ‘Slipknot’ and ‘Bring me the Horizon’ have already been confirmed as headliners for the festival's 40th anniversary alongside other well-known bands. A similar-sounding event name, but with a completely different intention, can be found in the 2025 calendar with Rad am Ring. In mid-July, thousands of tireless participants will once again take to the start line to conquer the Green Hell with their own muscle power. Incidentally, this is also required for the Hotfoot Run - but not on two wheels, but on foot. The obstacle course takes place on 10 May. Fast-paced PS classics in racing actionThe heroes and automotive jewels of days gone by have also once again secured several permanent places on the Ring calendar. Old and youngtimers and memories of many decades of motorsport will be brought to life on the Grand Prix circuit and the Nordschleife. The Nürburgring Classic will kick off 2025 from 13 to 15 June. This will be followed in August by the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix (1st - 3rd) and the legendary ADAC 1000km race from 20th to 21st September. The ADAC RGB season finale, the ADAC Westfalen Trophy and, last but not least, the Kölner Kurs as a historic motorbike event round off the historic programme. Motorbike service and racing on two wheelsSpeaking of motorbikes: after returning to the Nürburgring this year, the International Motorcycle Championship (IDM) is also on the calendar for the coming season. From 5 to 7 September, the series will kick off with thrilling two-wheel racing. There will be impressive pictures of thousands of motorbikes off the racing line at the ‘Anlassen’ motorbike service on 27 April. One of the highlights of the programme: the joint parade around the legendary Nordschleife. Diverse indoor events: entertainment away from the racetrackThe Nürburgring also continues to see a steady increase in events away from the tarmac. And so the 2025 season in the Green Hell starts and ends with indoor events throughout the year. The International Rhine Shiai Karate Tournament will kick off the season on the second weekend in January, while the German Carnival Garda Dance Championship will be the event finale in December. Both events will take place in the ring°arena, as will two cheerleading competitions on 15 and 16 February and the ‘Darts am Ring’ gala in March. The latter is set to become the undisputed fan magnet in the indoor calendar with over 3,000 fans expected. The exact date for the flying darts event will be announced shortly. Further music and entertainment formats at the Nürburgring venues are also scheduled for next year. Comedy at NightWash live, the Nürburgring Family Day and a colourful afternoon at the Disney Channel cinema have been decided for 2025 and will soon be added to the calendar.

The DTM in its anniversary year, hundreds of historic automotive treasures at the classic car Grand Prix, the season highlight of the Nürburgring endurance series and the return of the German motorcycle elite: August once again has numerous highlights in store at the Nürburgring. It starts with the 6-hour race of the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series (August 3) on the Nordschleife, before the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix (August 9 - 11) and the DTM (August 16 - 18) provide the action. At the end of the month (August 30 - September 1), the kings of cornering return to the Ring with the IDM motorcycle championship. Tip for the summer vacations: There are always special offers at the events as well as discounted admission for children and young people. Further information and advance ticket sales can be found here. The events at a glance: DTM at the Nürburgring (August 16 - 18)The DTM made its first guest appearance on the Grand Prix circuit in June 1984. The popular racing series has returned to the Eifel countless times in the 40 years that followed - and is still a magnet for spectators today. This year (August 16 - 18), the starting field will once again feature many well-known names. Thanks to the entry of British sports car manufacturer McLaren, seven manufacturers are taking part this year. One race each on Saturday and Sunday, a large supporting program on and off the track, attractive offers for families: the DTM's recipe for success remains unchanged. Tickets - including paddock - are available from just 15 euros. A unique experience is also back: the Track Safari. In a separate session, spectators are driven directly onto the race track in buses and experience the fast cars up close. For those who want something a little more exclusive, the Race & Lunch ticket from 239 euros includes lounge access around the main race, upholstered seats with the best view and delicious catering. Incidentally, one man stood on the podium twice at the DTM's Nürburgring premiere in 1984: Olaf Manthey. 40 years later, his team will be defending the DTM title with the fan favorite “Grello”. 51st BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix (August 09 - 11)100 years of racing history at the Nürburgring: this is the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix. In mid-August (August 9 - 11), classic car fans can once again look forward to thrilling races and fascinating demonstration drives on the Grand Prix circuit. Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, BMW M1, Audi V8 quattro or Opel Manta: the organizers are expecting a total of hundreds of historic racing cars on the weekend. And visitors can experience them up close. All tickets give access to all grandstands and the paddock. There, spectators can be present when the garage treasures are being worked on or the brute engines are being started. And there will also be the odd petrolhead chat: with other enthusiasts or - with a bit of luck - with racing legends from days gone by. Tickets for the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix are available from 35 euros. ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series (August 03) The season highlight of the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series: the 6-hour race starts in the Green Hell.
