The Nürburgring is a place of deep emotional longing for motorsport fans around the world—the Nordschleife, in particular, is famous for its uniqueness, its demanding nature, and its legendary sections. It is precisely these sections that are now the focus of the “Sign for Charity” campaign. This joint initiative by the Nürburgring and the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring combines motorsport history with social commitment: A total of ten original section signs from the Nordschleife have been signed by this year’s drivers of the endurance classic and are now available for auction for a good cause through Thursday, May 21, in the official Nürburgring Online Shop.

The names of these track sections are known worldwide and deeply connected to the history of the Nürburgring. Terms like Brünnchen, Pflanzgarten, or Caracciola-Karussell make the hearts of motorsport enthusiasts around the globe beat faster. The ten signs in total, which are now being auctioned off from various sections of the track, hung right next to the historic asphalt strip until the end of last season and were removed before this season for the charity campaign. They were thus a direct part of the very track that has been making motorsport history for nearly 100 years. Whether during a tourist drive through the “Green Hell,” official record-breaking runs by the automotive industry, legendary racing moments, or emotional victories—each individual sign, as a silent witness at the track’s edge, was part of the Nürburgring’s unique history.

Thanks to the signatures of the drivers from this year’s 24 Hours of Nürburgring, the signs have now become unique collector’s items. Everyone has the chance to bid. The proceeds will support projects in the areas of animal welfare and family services, as well as aid organizations—all of which are based in the immediate and surrounding areas of the Nürburgring. Nürburgring employees were invited to submit their favorite projects in advance. Subsequently, the approximately 220 permanent employees of the Ring were able to cast their votes for the project of their choice.

In the end, the organizations selected for support were the Mayen and Surrounding Areas Animal Welfare Association, Search Dogs & Fawn Rescue Adenau at the Nürburgring, the Kirchwald Wild Bird Sanctuary, Herzenswünsche e.V., the German Alzheimer’s Association e.V., the Market for Body and Soul (Adenau), the Support Association for Children with Cancer and Leukemia in Blankenheimerdorf e.V., the volunteer fire departments at and around the Nürburgring, and the Ronald McDonald House in Sankt Augustin. The auction has already begun and will run through Thursday, May 21, 2026, in the official Nürburgring online shop.
