By foot, by bike, in your own car, in a classic car or by bus: everyone can experience the Nürburgring in their own way. One of the highlights: The Green Hell Driving Days for passionate car and motorcycle drivers. This year, these special tourist drives take place on the Whitsun weekend (May 18 - 20).

If you want to take your own classic car out for a spin, you can do so as part of the After Work Classics on the Grand Prix circuit. And if you want a real racing driver to explain the Green Hell up close, there is the Trackwalk Nordschleife. Tourist drives and Green Hell Driving DaysThe Green Hell Driving Days attract Nordschleife fans from all over the world to the Eifel every year. Three days of tourist driving in a row are a good reason for a visit, especially for international Ring enthusiasts.

A Whitsun visit to the Nürburgring is definitely worthwhile - even if you just want to watch and soak up the atmosphere. This year, the Nürburgring is also extending its evening sessions on the Grand Prix circuit for tourist drives. On May 14, June 19 and July 23 and 30, car and motorcycle drivers can experience the race track for themselves - in each case until 8:45 pm. Exclusively for classic cars - the After Work ClassicsThe After Work Classics also promise a special atmosphere. These tourist rides are specially designed for classic cars. The After Work Classics will take place a total of four times this year.

In order to improve traffic flow and optimize the experience for all tourist drivers, the Nürburgring is introducing new access and exit regulations for tourist drives. From now on, accessing the Nordschleife area is exclusively for direct access to the Nordschleife track. This means that anyone turning from the L93 roundabout towards the Nordschleife will be directed to the barrier and will need a lap ticket or sufficient credit. Simply turning towards the parking lots in this area during approach is no longer permitted. Only drivers who have completed a lap of the Nordschleife can subsequently use the designated parking areas in the access area. This change aims to prevent cross traffic and entrance traffic that previously only served parking search purposes. These changes are intended to optimize traffic flow at the Nordschleife access and thus improve the driving experience for all visitors. Drivers who have completed a lap of the Nordschleife now have the following options: Direct exit to the L93 roundabout. Exit to the large parking lot at the Nordschleife access. Direct passage for another lap - depending on operation, either through the mobile barrier at Döttinger Höhe or through direct passage to the barrier system. These new measures are intended to significantly facilitate and streamline outgoing traffic. The goal is to reduce congestion and thereby improve the user experience for all visitors. Parking for restaurant visitors and site guests: Visitors who wish to access the access area or the Devil's Diner restaurant will find ample parking directly opposite the access on the other side of the roundabout. Pitstop Area remains part of tourist drives: The new regulation is another step after the introduction of a 'Pitstop Area' for tourist drives last year. This means that tourist drivers can take a break or refuel between their laps on the Nordschleife in the area at T13. Then it's straight back onto the track. Around 100 vehicles can be accommodated here simultaneously. To ensure orderly operation, two marshals regulate the traffic. About tourist drives: The rules for a drive as part of the tourist drives are very simple: Basically, anyone with a driver's license and a licensed, roadworthy car or motorcycle can drive on the Grand Prix track or Nordschleife. The rules of the road traffic regulations apply, including the right-hand traffic rule.

Thousands of motorcyclists are expected to attend the traditional two-wheeler season opener at the end of the month. The Nürburgring Drift Cup also kicks off its season. And even without engine power, there is plenty of sporting action on the Ring: in addition to the "Hotfoot Run", a spectacular obstacle course, athletes from all over Germany come together for the German Judo Individual Championships in the ring°arena. The events at a glance: ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (April 6 & 7)ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers (April 13 & 14)Four races, two weekends, one legendary race track: The ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers (April 13 & 14) and the double-header of the ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (April 6 & 7) will provide thrilling racing in the Green Hell this month. The basics: Around 100 cars will compete in four-hour races. High-speed GT cars from major manufacturers share the track with near-series touring cars from passionate petrolheads.

Secondly, the joint parade on the Nürburgring Nordschleife: thousands of bikers take a leisurely lap of the most beautiful 20.832 kilometers in the world - an extraordinary experience for the motorcycling community every year.

There is something for everyone at the Nürburgring around Easter: As is well known, the weekend is traditionally dominated by tourist drives. From Good Friday (March 29) up to and including Easter Monday (April 1), the Nordschleife and Grand Prix circuit open their doors to everyone every day. In addition, there is plenty to experience at the Nürburgring as a destination around Easter and the subsequent vacation period. An overview:Four days of tourist driving in a row: Easter is traditionally also a festival for Nürburgring enthusiasts. Both the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix circuit are open to everyone.

The view from the Devil's Diner is at least as good: located on the access road to the Nordschleife on the outskirts of Nürburg, visitors have a perfect view of the action during the tourist races at Easter.

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: 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)

Anyone can drive their own car or motorcycle around the world's most famous race track in 2024. The Nürburgring has announced the dates for next year's tourist drives. The barriers will open for the first time on Sunday, March 17 and the first highlight will follow just two weeks later with the Easter weekend. Also on the calendar: the Green Hell Driving Days, which allow drivers to drive on the legendary Nordschleife for several days in a row in May and October. There are also evening events on the Grand Prix Track with particularly long opening hours until 8:45 pm. > All dates & open hours From mid-March to mid-November, tourist drivers can look forward to many dates in 2024. And the Easter weekend is the highlight of the first month, with all-day opening hours on the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix Track, four days in a row, from Good Friday to Easter Monday. After that, the Nordschleife opens almost every day for those who want to take the track under their own wheels, while the Grand Prix Track opens on selected evening dates. On some days even until 20:45. The rules for a ride as part of the tourist rides are very simple: in principle, anyone in possession of a driving license and an approved, roadworthy car or motorcycle can drive on the Grand Prix Track or Nordschleife. The rules of the road traffic regulations apply, including the right-hand driving rule. Overtaking is therefore only permitted on the left. A stopwatch is also not allowed to run while driving. These rules define the tourist drives as a driving offer for everyone and clearly distinguish them from racing events. Green Hell Driving Days in May and October - simply top up your credit onlineAmong the numerous dates and weekends, those opening times that offer driving fun over several whole days are particularly popular. The Nürburgring offers the Green Hell Driving Days for this purpose. In 2024, the legendary Nordschleife can be driven from Saturday, May 18 to Monday, May 20 and from Thursday, October 3 to Sunday, October 6. All dates for 2024 can be found on the Nürburgring website. Here you can also top up your credit for the tourist rides with your own customer account. A lap of the Nordschleife costs 30 euros from Monday to Thursday and 35 euros from Friday to Sunday and on public holidays. The 15-minute stint on the Grand Prix Track is also available for 35 euros, regardless of the day of the week. Anyone looking for unlimited driving pleasure is well advised to buy a season card. It is available for 3,000 euros and entitles the holder to drive on the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix Track.
