The Nürburgring: A Legendary Racetrack
Join us for a thrilling ride at The Nordschleife – a driver's paradise!
The Nürburgring, located in the Eifel region of Germany, is more than just a racetrack; it's an iconic motorsport destination renowned worldwide. At the heart of the complex lies the legendary Nordschleife, a 20.832-kilometer circuit often referred to as “The Green Hell” due to its challenging layout and demanding nature.
Opened in the 1920s, the Nürburgring quickly gained a reputation for its demanding layout, featuring blind corners, elevation changes, and high-speed sections. It has hosted numerous Formula One Grand Prix events and continues to be a popular venue for various racing series, including the 24 Hours Nürburgring, one of the world's most grueling endurance races.
The Nordschleife offers a unique driving experience unlike any other. Its combination of fast straights, slow corners, and elevation changes makes it a true test of a driver's skill. The circuit's length and varying conditions keep drivers on their toes and make every lap a new challenge.
Not being professional racers, we can experience the thrill of the Nordschleife during our driving sessions. We will team up, jump into a race cab and join a professional driver for some adrenaline goose bumps.
A lap around the Nordschleife in a race cab such as a BMW3 M3 Competition is included in the tour!
We will gather an insight into the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring, the iconic endurance race that attracts teams from all over the world and offers spectators an unforgettable experience.
At the development centre, many car manufacturers test and develop their new vehicles at the Nürburgring to ensure they are up to the most demanding conditions.
The Nürburgring is more than just a racetrack. It's a destination with something for everyone. There will be some time to discover The RingWerk being an interactive museum that tells the story of the Nürburgring, while the RingBoulevard offers a variety of stores and restaurants (food, drinks, entrance fees etc are not included in the tour).
Whether you're a hardcore motorsport fan or simply looking for a unique driving experience, the Nürburgring is a must-visit destination. Its rich history, challenging layout, and world-class facilities make it a truly unforgettable experience.
