Europe's biggest e-darts tournament took place at the Nürburgring for the first time. The Deutsche Liga Mannschafts-Meisterschaften im Darts (DLMM) attracted thousands of players from Germany and neighboring countries at the weekend. Two public viewings  and the popular tourist drives rounded off the weekend with the typical Nürburgring variety.

For three days, the 3,500 m² ring°boulevard was transformed into the Mecca of E-Darts. 420 teams and 3,000 active players from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands competed against each other on over 200 Löwen dart machines. In total, over 1,400 games were played from Friday to Sunday - from morning until late at night. The teams competed for titles and prizes in six different disciplines - from the C-League to the Bundesliga. Among other things, there were two trips to Las Vegas to be won.

Only once did the arrows rest over the weekend. The tournament paused on Friday for the EURO 2024 quarter-final match between Germany and Spain. The darts players were able to enjoy an exclusive public viewing in the ring°boulevard on the 45 x 8 meter ring°wall.

Public viewing simultaneously in the ring°boulevard and on the main grandstand
For the first time, there were two parallel public viewings at the Nürburgring, which meant another premiere on the main grandstand. While the darts fans watched the match in the ring°boulevard, the DFB-Elf match was broadcast for the first time for all soccer fans on the LED wall directly at the start-finish straight. The Nürburgring opened the BMW M Power Grandstand especially for this event with free admission. Around 2,000 visitors in black, red and gold kept their fingers crossed for the 24-hour race, DTM or Truck Grand Prix.

Soccer broadcast and tourist rides on the start-finish straight
And even if it was just not enough for the German team in the end, all visitors were able to take home a special Nürburgring experience. Because while the soccer match was shown on the LED wall, the tourist drivers drove around the track. For the first time this year, private drivers were able to experience the combination of the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix circuit in their own vehicles during the opening hours in accordance with the road traffic regulations and drove past directly in front of the main grandstand. The stadium atmosphere was complemented by the matching engine sound. Darters, soccer fans and tourist drivers celebrated a diverse Nürburgring weekend together.
