Events at the Nürburgring in July 2025:
Int. ADAC Truck Grand Prix | 11–13 July 2025The Int. ADAC Truck Grand Prix returns from 11 to 13 July as a diverse trucker festival, once again attracting tens of thousands to the Eifel. Motorsport, music, expo – this event combines it all into an unforgettable experience. On track, the powerful race trucks of the FIA European Truck Racing Championship battle for points and trophies, complemented by more thrilling races – including the impressive GT3 cars of the ADAC GT Masters. In the paddock, manufacturers and logistics companies showcase their latest innovations, while the Müllenbachschleife becomes the heart of the trucker festival in the evenings. On Friday, Germany’s best-known country singer, Tom Astor, sets the tone at his 37th Truck Grand Prix performance. Saturday promises a lively party night with acts like Loona, Malle Anja and Markus Becker. As every year, the grand finale is a spectacular fireworks show. Festival-only tickets for the evening shows at Müllenbachschleife are again available: Friday night admission is €10, Saturday €12.50. Full event tickets start at just €20.
Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie “Light” | 5 July 2025The Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie opens an entirely new chapter on Saturday, 5 July, with the first-ever “NLS Light” race. This event is deliberately tailored to the many smaller racing teams and their fan-favorite cars. The “big” vehicles – GT3s and 911 Cup Porsches – stay in the garage for this one. Instead, the spotlight is on near-production racecars. The core concept of the ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie remains unchanged: four hours of gripping racing across the 25-kilometer Nordschleife and sprint circuit. Spectators can look forward to the usual fan-friendly atmosphere. And for those who can’t be there: a livestream will be available on YouTube as always.
Rad am Ring | 18–20 July 2025From 18 to 20 July, the Nürburgring transforms into a cycling mecca: Rad am Ring puts pedal power above horsepower. In the legendary 24-hour race, cycling enthusiasts ride day and night – solo or in teams – and deliver incredible performances. But Rad am Ring also caters to less experienced riders: recreational rides, including e-bike tours, offer a pressure-free way to explore the circuit. Mountain bikers can enjoy off-road trails, and kids have their own competitions. Spectators are welcome with free admission along the track and in the paddock. Tip: For anyone wanting to ride the Nürburgring themselves, regular “cycling and running meets” are held on the Grand Prix circuit and the Nordschleife – dates available at nuerburgring.de.
GRIP – Das Motorevent | 6 July 2025A celebration for all petrolheads: the GRIP community returns to the Nürburgring. On Sunday, 6 July, this popular motoring event once again offers a full program centered around fast cars and motorsport passion. Fans can meet like-minded enthusiasts in the Grand Prix paddock, admire countless horsepower treasures, and enjoy stage interviews with automotive celebrities, prize draws, and autograph sessions. Adrenaline is guaranteed with drift shows, public drag races, and the chance to ride shotgun in a GT race car. Younger fans can enjoy a dedicated kids' zone, and an expo area showcases the latest automotive trends.
Deutsche Liga Mannschafts-Meisterschaften im Darts (DLMM) | 4–6 July 2025Everyone’s aiming for 180: the Deutsche Liga Mannschafts-Meisterschaften im Darts (DLMM) will take place from 4 to 6 July at the Nürburgring, turning the ring°boulevard into a mecca for Germany’s e-darts scene.
