Job fair once again a lively meeting place for careers and future opportunities

07.11.2025

Two days full of opportunities, encounters, and career prospects: The “Job Fair powered by Nürburgring” has once again demonstrated how attractive a central platform for training and skilled worker placement can be. Around 60 companies – including renowned names such as the German Armed Forces, zeusaudio, Manthey, and numerous businesses from across the region – presented themselves to the many visitors at the ring°arena on November 7 and 8. On Friday in particular, the fair was very popular with school classes from the region. Through cooperation with regional educational institutions, the next generation of trainees was specifically targeted – including subsidies for travel costs from the Nürburgring. Saturday was all about local and regional skilled workers. Overall, the fourth edition of the job fair once again attracted a wide audience, who not only took advantage of the opportunity to talk to potential employers, but also enjoyed the interactive elements of the fair, such as racing simulators and the German Armed Forces' experience zone. “The job fair powered by Nürburgring exemplifies what our ring°arena is all about: a versatile indoor location that offers space for entertainment, business events, and trade fairs alike – and thus successfully brings together a wide variety of events,” explains Nürburgring Managing Director Christian Stephani. "The positive response from exhibitors and visitors in particular shows the potential that lies in such formats. Even though we are continuously developing our portfolio, offerings like this remain important drivers for our strategic direction." Indoor event diversity continues at the NürburgringThe job fair marks the start of the indoor season at the Nürburgring, which has numerous highlights in store until spring 2026. The comedy format NightWash Live (November 15) will follow this coming weekend, and cheerleading and guard dance championships will then transform the ring°arena into a sporting stronghold several times over. At the beginning of January, the International Rhein Shiai, one of the world's largest karate tournaments, will start again, before the Darts am Ring Gala brings an Ally Pally atmosphere to the Eifel in March. The “Job Fair powered by Nürburgring” has thus not only once again proven its importance for career orientation, but also fits seamlessly into a strong and varied indoor program that underscores the appeal of the Nürburgring beyond the motorsport season.

Winter is going to be hot again: DNLS kicks off on December 6

31.10.2025

Race-free time? In the ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, a foreign word – and that’s exactly why the new season of the DNLS starts on December 6th. The virtual format of the traditional Nordschleife championship again includes four races in the 2025/2026 winter season, each over a distance of three hours. The Digitale Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie stands for the same values as its real counterpart: top-class multiclass racing on the most beautiful and demanding racetrack in the world. And because standing at the track in the winter months would really be too cold, the virtual spectacle from the Green Hell is available via livestream on your home screen – fans just need to provide snacks and hot drinks themselves to enjoy the races. The DNLS has established itself as a fixed feature after six seasons – not only in the calendars of numerous teams and drivers from real motorsport, but also in the sim racing scene. The images that the world-leading racing simulation iRacing produces are spectacular, and there are camera perspectives that are hardly possible in reality. The elaborately produced livestream and commentary by NLS commentators set benchmarks in the virtual racing world. For the drivers, sim racing is long more than just a pastime, and even Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen, who debuted in the DNLS 23/24 and this year competed and won his first real race on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, sees the simulation as a perfect complement to real racing. “Every kilometer is a racing kilometer, whether in reality on the Nordschleife or in the simulation,” says Nürburgring chief instructor Andreas Gülden, who is now at home in both worlds and will again compete in the DNLS winter season with Team Nürburgring eSports. “When I accompanied Max on the way to his DPN, we also talked about sim racing. You could tell how seriously he takes virtual driving.” Drivers like Gülden play an important role in the DNLS, because in the GT3 class SP9 it is mandatory that at least one pilot from real racing participates. They usually share the cockpit with dedicated sim racing professionals and engage in exciting fights during the races. In the 2024/2025 season, drivers such as Mirko Bortolotti, Tim Heinemann, and Elias Seppänen were in action. Champion in SP9 was none other than Truck Racing European Champion Norbi Kiss. In addition to the GT3 cars, the other classes also offer spectacular racing, above all Cup 2 of the Porsche Esports Endurance Trophy Nürburgring. In the last DNLS season, Raphael Rennhofer finished on top here – he competed in ADAC GT4 Germany in 2024. The Austrian piloted the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup of SCHERER eSPORTS. There are also two further classes: SP10 with GT4 cars from Aston Martin, BMW, and Mercedes-AMG, as well as SP3T with Renault Clio. The season opener of Season 7 of the DNLS is on December 6th, 2025. Races follow on December 20th, 2025, and on February 21st and 28th, 2026. Registration will begin shortly. Before the ‘big’ DNLS literally gets underway again, the final of the Community Cup will take place on November 14th. All information is available at vln.de/dnls.

100 years of the Nürburgring | October 30, 1925: The naming

30.10.2025

Today, on October 30, 1925, exactly 100 years ago, our race track was given its name. In 1925, a public competition was held to find a suitable name, and numerous suggestions were received.The decisive idea came from the then Prussian district president, Dr. Francis Kruse: “Nürburg-Ring.” On October 30, 1925, this name was officially given to the track – and today it is known worldwide. ℹ️ The Nürburgring opened in 1927. As part of #Roadto100, we are looking back at various milestones in our long history in the run-up to our big anniversary year!
