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.

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.

As part of #Roadto100, we are looking back at various milestones in our long history in the run-up to our big anniversary year!

With mascots, soccer, magic, trial shows, face painting, and lots of hands-on activities, the Family Day at the Nürburgring offered a colorful world of experiences for the third time. Around 20,000 visitors of all ages flocked to the ring°boulevard, the ring°arena, the ring°werk motorsport museum, the BMW M POWER grandstand, and the Bitburger Gasthaus last Sunday to enjoy an exciting autumn break day filled with wonder, games, and hands-on activities. From shows with Volker Rosin and Jannik Freestyle to hands-on technology with the Junior Uni Daun and from emergency vehicles to children's driving courses – the program was as diverse as the families who came. "The Nürburgring is a lively, eventful place – even away from motorsports and major events. Our indoor offerings in particular – from the ring°arena and the museum to the ring°kartbahn and the restaurants – show that the Nürburgring is an attractive destination for families all year round, regardless of the weather and the event calendar," explains Nürburgring Managing Director Christian Stephani. “Partners and companies from the region also take part in Family Day, presenting their offerings and inviting people to join in. The concept has been well received by visitors and exhibitors, which is why Family Day has continued to evolve since its premiere two years ago.” In addition to numerous partners, the Nürburgring was of course also represented with its own stands, and the Nürburgring team was actively involved in several hands-on activities – including its own young talents, who lent a helping hand. "The competition, in which children could write a postcard to our mascot Legend, and the photo wall, in front of which visitors could take souvenir photos with Legend, were extremely popular. Seeing how well what you've organized beforehand is received is a great experience,“ says trainee Madeleine enthusiastically. Fellow trainee Dennis adds: ”Early in the morning, shortly before the official opening of the family day, there was already a lot of activity at the two Nürburgring wheels of fortune. The prizes, ranging from sweets as consolation prizes to small stuffed animals, really made the children beam." The media production company Nürburgring.tv, which provided behind-the-scenes insights, and the independently operated Nürburgring Hotels & Ferienpark with its catering facilities were also part of the Family Day. For hotel manager Mathias Kemnitz, the event is an important date in the calendar every year. “Young and old are always welcome here. That's part of our philosophy, and the Bitburger Gasthaus stands for exactly that – a place where everyone can find their place, have good conversations, and enjoy delicious food from the pot and pan. We were particularly pleased this year with the cooperation with Ravensburger, which was met with great enthusiasm by the families.” For the first time, the ring°arena was also actively used as part of Family Day. The Rhineland Football Association was represented with interactive stations, small soccer tournaments, and exercise activities. The conclusion was thoroughly positive: "We are really excited about our first serve at Family Day. The ring°arena is a great location for reaching families with our youth development work,“ explains Michael Wilkes, vice president of youth development for the association. Sven Edinger, chairman of the association's youth committee, adds: ”Soccer is a multifaceted team sport with many functions – from school sports to children's and youth soccer to refereeing. We were able to show that to thousands of people here." With strong visitor numbers and positive feedback from partners, one thing is already certain: Nürburgring Family Day will once again be a fixture in the calendar of this versatile event location next year. Families can already mark October 25, 2026, in their calendars. Then the Nürburgring and its partners will once again invite visitors to enjoy the colorful hustle and bustle in and around the ring°boulevard.

Since July 2024, the YANGWANG development team has been testing on the legendary 20.832-kilometer Nürburgring Nordschleife. The extensive data obtained during these tests was directly incorporated into the development of the U9 Xtreme. YANGWANG can now confirm that on August 22, 2025, the U9X completed a lap of the Nordschleife in 6:59.157 minutes – over five seconds faster than the previous record in the electric super sports car class and also the first vehicle in this category to break the seven-minute mark. At the wheel of the record-breaking run was Moritz Kranz, an experienced German racing driver who has already completed almost 10,000 laps on the demanding Nordschleife during his GT career. All record drives and further information Onboard through the Green HellThe record lap of the YANGWANG U9 Xtreme is now available on the Nürburgring YouTube channel. The onboard footage from the cockpit of the vehicle offers the opportunity to relive this fantastic lap. Information about the official “Nürburgring record laps”The following principle applies to all drives: one track, one complete lap, one time – according to uniform standards. In addition to timekeeping with calibrated measuring technology, official record attempts and attempts to achieve a lap time are always accompanied by a notary. In addition to monitoring the timekeeping, the vehicle is also inspected. TÜV Rheinland checks for standard conformity and documents this. The exact length of the track and the start and finish lines are precisely defined. A full lap of the Nordschleife is driven and measured with a flying start (20.8 kilometers). The vehicle categories for record drives and official lap times at the Nürburgring are divided into different segments by the Federal Motor Transport Authority and specially defined special classes.
