All over Germany, car enthusiasts gather in various public places on Good Friday to share their passion. At the Nürburgring, a large crowd is expected again this year when thousands of visitors gather around the track. The Nürburgring operating company is deploying a team of over 150 stewards, security staff and traffic wardens to support the measures and visitor management of the public order office and the police. A central aspect of the close cooperation is the protection of the region and nature from excessive noise and waste. Although there is no event at the Nürburgring on Good Friday, thousands of people come. The fascination of the world-famous race track has also made it a popular destination for tuners on this day. For the Nürburgring, the public order office and the police, there is therefore one thing above all else on the agenda: to control and educate the many visitors accordingly and to punish any infringements. In order to relieve traffic and the local areas, the B412 will be closed in coordination with those responsible at Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG, Landesbetrieb Mobilität, the Ahrweiler district administration and the Mayen police headquarters, the B412 will be opened to through traffic. However, depending on capacity utilization in the Brünnchen and Pflanzgarten areas, traffic may be temporarily closed and diverted. In addition, various traffic circles will be set up so that only straight through traffic is possible. Extensive parking facilities along the Nordschleife and Grand Prix TrackThe Nürburgring will provide extensive parking facilities around the circuit in order to reduce congestion as much as possible. Almost all parking spaces in the A zone near the Grand Prix circuit are open, as well as additional parking spaces in the B zone if required. On the Nordschleife, in addition to the best-known Brünnchen and Pflanzgarten parking lots, other areas in the Schwalbenschwanz and, if all parking areas in Adenau are full, other spaces in the Adenauer Forst will also be open. A large contingent of stewards and additional security personnel will also monitor the ban on barbecues and camping. Traffic violations will be consistently punishedOverall, a high volume of traffic is to be expected in the area of the main access roads to the Nürburgring, in the town of Adenau and in the surrounding villages. The police will be focusing on possible traffic violations, paying particular attention to road safety and vehicle compliance as well as driver behavior. The message from the law enforcement officers is clear: anyone who behaves "out of line" must expect consequences. These may include all-day bans, vehicle seizures or, in individual cases, confiscation of driving licenses. Illegal parking outside designated areas will ultimately lead to the vehicle being towed away for a fee. An overview of the open parking areas: Parking areas Grand Prix Track: A1, A2, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, B zone if required Parking areas Nordschleife: Brünnchen P96 Pflanzgarten (P97+P98) Schwalbenschwanz P100 Adenauer Forst (opens when all parking areas in Adenau are full)

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.

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.

The ring°arena at Nürburgring was buzzing with excitement last Saturday evening as 3,500 fans gathered to celebrate the latest edition of “Darts am Ring.” Amidst colorful costumes, euphoric chants, and electrifying matches, darts legend Raymond van Barneveld emerged victorious – a highlight of an evening filled with top-tier sports entertainment. Joining the Dutch champion on stage were some of the biggest names in the darts world: World Champion Rob Cross, fan-favorite “The Rockstar” Joe Cullen, Dirk van Duijvenbode, and local heroes Martin Schindler and Gabriel Clemens. In fast-paced, high-tension “Best-of-Seven” matches, the audience celebrated every point with unbridled enthusiasm. A High-Octane Start for Germany’s No. 1Before stepping onto the stage, Germany’s top darts player Martin Schindler experienced a Nürburgring tradition of a different kind: He got behind the wheel of a real Formula training car on the Grand Prix track, courtesy of the Nürburgring Driving Academy. His reaction? “That’s an experience I’ll never forget. Absolutely incredible,” said Schindler, visibly moved. A perfect example of how the Nürburgring continues to impress – as a motorsport icon and a year-round venue for unique live moments. Energy in the Air – Even Before the First DartThe buzz was already palpable before the first throw: fans snapped selfies with their idols, got in the mood along the ring°boulevard, and then witnessed a very special pre-show highlight. With thunderous applause, darts icon Russ Bray, the unmistakable voice of the sport, took the stage. And when his legendary “One hundred and eighty!” echoed through the arena, it was clear: this evening would be unforgettable. More Live Entertainment Ahead: Carolin Kebekus in SeptemberThe success of “Darts am Ring” once again proves: Nürburgring is more than motorsport.

Curtain up for the 53rd edition of the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring from June 19th to 22nd, 2025: The opening event of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) on the penultimate weekend in March was the overture to an epic in many acts at the legendary Nürburgring-Nordschleife. This year, the strongest GT3 teams, drivers and makes will compete for the coveted 24-hour trophy at the longest race track in the world, which at over 25 km is longer than any other race track in the world. Highlights include the first act in the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers (May 24th-25th) and, of course, the finale furioso in the actual 24h Nürburgring, which is likely to be even more colorful and diverse than before. In addition to the established teams of the German premium manufacturers Audi, BMW, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche, teams with GT3s from Aston Martin, Ferrari, Ford and Lamborghini will be making their mark this year. The action at the opening race showed that the supposed “exotic” and “underdogs” are in the thick of the action and will have a say in the awarding of the top positions. If you want to secure your box seat for this spectacle, you can do so now. At the NLS opener, a defending champion was initially in the spotlight. Frank Stippler secured pole position in the Audi R8 LMS GT3 from Juta Racing and showed what is still possible in the already somewhat older GT from Ingolstadt. He led a very colorful field into the warm-up lap before the start: eight different brands took the top ten positions in the first NLS qualifying session of the season. Stippler, for example, was joined on the grid by the Walkenhorst-Aston Martin GT3, followed in rows two and three by the McLaren 720S GT3 from Dörr Motorsport and the Ferrari 296 GT3 from Kondo Racing / Rinaldi. Lamborghini, Mercedes-AMG, BMW, Porsche lined up behind them – a real feast of what are currently arguably the most beautiful sports cars. In the race, it was the top dogs that set the tone: Porsche achieved a clean quadruple victory, with the two Falken 911s ahead of the Manthey team's “Grello” and the 911 GT3R from Dinamic GT. And of course, the season opener was also extremely exciting in other respects: 22 partly hard-fought vehicle classes, in which everything from production cars to thoroughbred racing cars were represented. A good omen for an exciting season in amateur and popular sports as well – the fans also saw it that way and provided provided a great backdrop for this first show race. Old and new highlights for visitorsEven though there are three months between the start of the Nordschleife season at the end of March and the season highlight at the 24h Nürburgring, fans can secure their personal ticket now. New this year: tickets are available throughout online at the 24-hour ticket shop during the event weekend. With the electronic admission ticket on your cell phone, you can also enter the track. Another new feature for visitors is the option of securing their parking space in advance: there are parking spaces available in the D9 area (near the Nürburg), for which a continuous parking permit can be purchased from Thursday to Sunday parking permit can be purchased from Thursday to Sunday. And the trip to the Ring is worthwhile on all these days! Because from Corpus Christi Thursday (June 19th) they will experience a huge program on the longest race track in the world. In addition to the 24-hour race, the Circuit Challenge power test (Thursday) and the 24-hour classic race (Saturday) will also provide plenty of drama. The Grand Prix circuit will be the venue for entertaining hours with the touring car legend race and the cup and touring car trophy. In addition to the race program, highlights such as the traditional Adenauer Racing Day on Wednesday will also be entertaining. And, of course, the Falken Drift Show will be back on Friday evening, taking place on the Müllenbach loop at the same time as the big autograph session and the pit walk at the start and finish line.

RAVENOL and the Nürburgring are expanding their partnership. The renowned lubricant manufacturer has been involved with the world’s longest permanent racetrack for many years, and now both parties are taking their collaboration to the next level. Effective immediately, the prestigious first corner of the Grand Prix track will bear the name “RAVENOL-S.” Additionally, RAVENOL owns a VIP lounge at the Nürburgring, serves as the official lubricant partner of the Nürburgring Driving Academy, and lends its name to the “RAVENOL Media Center.” This extensive partnership will run until at least 2028. Spectators at motorsport events at the Nürburgring will now have their eyes on the RAVENOL-S. Located at the end of the start-finish straight, this tight corner marks the first braking point for drivers, setting the stage for thrilling overtaking maneuvers and intense battles for position. With this new naming agreement for the prestigious first corner, RAVENOL and the Nürburgring are deepening their relationship, making the globally active lubricant manufacturer from North Rhine-Westphalia even more present at the Ring. Since 2016, RAVENOL has been actively involved at the legendary racetrack and has continuously expanded its commitment. In addition to the RAVENOL-S, the company’s logo is prominently displayed on the pit wall, the pit building, and as part of a naming-rights agreement at the RAVENOL Media Center. Many participants in Nürburgring driving experiences – especially those in the popular formula courses – are also familiar with RAVENOL as a partner of the Nürburgring Driving Academy. Furthermore, the company holds one of the coveted VIP lounges directly above the pit lane, offering an unparalleled view of the track action in an exclusive atmosphere. “Our first corner is known to every motorsport fan as a guarantee for exciting racing. We are pleased to integrate our long-standing partner even further into this prominent location,” says Christian Stephani, Managing Director of the Nürburgring. “Our partnership with RAVENOL has been growing successfully for almost a decade, and it will continue at least until 2028.” “With partner racing series such as the NLS, DTM, and the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Race, the Nürburgring plays a vital role in our company’s motorsport season. The new RAVENOL-S, along with our presence on the pit wall and, most notably, at the highly visible RAVENOL Media Center, is yet another testament to the strong and long-standing partnership between RAVENOL and the Nürburgring,” adds Martin Huning, Director of RAVENOL Motorsport.

What a start to the 49th season of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie: Falken Motorsports celebrated a double victory right at the opening round. Sven Müller and Morris Schuring were waved off in the Porsche 911 GT3 R with a lead of 3.068 seconds ahead of their teammates Dorian Boccolacci and Nico Menzel. But that wasn’t all, as in the end, four sports cars from Zuffenhausen occupied the top positions. The success for Porsche was completed by Ayhancan Güven and Thomas Preining in the 'Grello' from Manthey-Racing, as well as Matteo Cairoli and Bastian Buus in the Dinamic GT Porsche. Around 7,000 spectators attended the 70th ADAC Westfalenfahrt, visiting the grandstands, the paddock, and the exclusive spectator zones at the Nordschleife. Only once in the history of the traditional racing series have more tickets been sold on a single race day. Interest from fans was also high at the free Nordschleife spots for the first race of the season. The first surprise of the day came from Frank Stippler in qualifying: in the Audi R8 LMS from JUTA RACING, he secured the team's first pole position, setting a time of 7:51.530 minutes, driving for the team built around the ambitious amateur drivers 'SELV' and Alexey Veremenko. A colorful brand mix followed in qualifying on the other positions: the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 from Walkenhorst Motorsport, the McLaren 720S GT3 Evo from Dörr Motorsport, the Ferrari 296 GT3 from REALIZE KONDO RACING with Rinaldi, the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 from Red Bull Team ABT, the two Mercedes-AMG GT3s from Mercedes-AMG Team GetSpeed, and the BMW M4 GT3 from ROWE RACING. The second Mustang from HRT qualified in 13th place on its Nordschleife debut. After the start, Stippler initially defended the lead. A brief rain shower between practice and the race turned the opening phase into a tire thriller. At the end of lap one, the Abt Lambo returned to the front. The Dörr McLaren also collected some lead laps, as did the Porsche 911 GT3 R from BLACK FALCON Team EAE, the Aston Martin from Walkenhorst, 'Grello', and the two Falken Porsches. "The start was difficult, as we began the race on rain tires and came into the pits for a tire change to slicks right after the first lap," said Schuring, who celebrated his first NLS victory ten years after his father. 'Gerwin' won the season finale in 2015 in the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup MR from Black Falcon – the last non-GT3 victory. "But that turned out to be absolutely right later on, because the strategy worked perfectly." Müller added: "From P15 to P1 – that's how it's done." Even though he was waved off in second place behind his teammates, Menzel was satisfied: "You couldn’t have a better start to the new season." DTM champion Preining was also glad to have claimed a podium finish in the end. After an unintended spin in the AMG Arena on lap one, the Manthey duo worked their way up from the back of the first starting group step by step. "To finish third after the turbulent starting phase was not something we expected," said the Austrian. "We were on the right tire from the beginning and therefore saved a pit stop." Behind the leading quartet, the ROWE BMW, the GetSpeed AMG #17, the Dörr McLaren #69, and the Abt Lambo crossed the line in fifth to eighth positions. Winners of the Pro-Am class were Daan Arrow, Gabriele Piana, Ben Bünnagel, and Mike Stursberg in the Black Falcon Porsche. Moran Gott is the first 'Driver of the Race'BMW 325i driver Moran Gott is the first 'Driver of the Race'. The Israeli contested the race solo with the vehicle he had built himself over the past six weeks. He wasn’t discouraged by setbacks during the race. A crash was repaired during the race by Sorg Rennsport, who support the vehicle on-site, and a tire failure in the final stages also didn’t stop Gott from being classified fourth in his class. "Normally, I want to be honored when I win," said Gott. "Today, many things didn’t go perfectly – but I still wanted to continue. Being recognized for that does make me a bit proud." The decision on the 'Driver of the Race' is made jointly by the NLS race management, ILN driver committee, and the track announcer. The trophies are donated by the Interessengemeinschaft Langstrecke Nürburgring (ILN). The first victory in this year’s newly created BMW 325i Challenge by Goodyear went to Jonas Spölgen and Eugen Becker. Second place was secured by Juha Miettinen, Dan Berghult, and Oliver Frisse from Keeevin Sports and Racing. Simon Sagmeister, Jürgen Huber, and Dirk Vleugels completed the class podium. Father and son Bohrer win two races in one dayIn the first race of the new NLS Youth Kart Championship, eight-year-old Jonas Bohrer won his K1 age class. Afterwards, he gave his dad strong support – and dad followed suit confidently. In the NLS race, father Michael Bohrer, together with Gerrit Holthaus in the Hyundai i30N, claimed first place in the VT2-F+4WD class. "A cool and perfect race day," grinned Jonas after the award ceremony, which took place just before the NLS class victory ceremony. In K2, the kart-kids winner was Mick Schmidt (ACV OC Lahnstein), in K3 David Böttcher (MSC Konz), in K4 Florian Rauhe (MSC Adenau), and in K5 Tobias Mosdzen (KSC Wülfrath). The second round of the ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie will take place on April 26. The ADAC Ruhrpott Trophy will once again be held over a four-hour distance. Tickets for race number two of the season are available in advance for 25 euros (children up to and including 14 years free) at vln.de/tickets. This grants access to the open grandstands at the Grand Prix circuit, the exclusive spectator areas at Brünnchen and Pflanzgarten, as well as the paddock, pit lane, and starting grid.

As with a concert hall plan, you can see the place where you can experience the 24-hour event in the immediate vicinity of the Goodyear hairpin bend when you book. In addition to electricity, which is provided via distribution cabinets and is included, there are nearby water points and a shower and toilet block within walking distance. You can also arrive or depart at any time from Wednesday to Sunday. It is also possible to leave the pitch in the meantime by car or motorhome without losing your reserved pitch. The area is particularly suitable for families, as you can, for example, only move into your reserved pitch on Friday, can rely on the night's rest being strictly enforced from 22:00 and can use the specially set up DSK shuttle bus stop to be taken to the paddock or the Nordschleife free of charge. The reservation costs for Wednesday to Sunday of 100 euros for a maximum of eight people are charged in addition to the usual camping fees and ticket costs, but these are only payable for the days that you are actually on site. The “Family & Friends Camping” pitches are already sold out.
