NÜRBURGRING LOOKS FORWARD TO F1 ACE AND SCHUMACHER DEBUT

02.10.2020

It will be a very special weekend at the Nürburgring. Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Co will give each other nothing in the fight for world championship points on the Eifel race track. And at the latest since the news that Mick Schumacher will make his F1 debut during the practice session, the motorsport world has been in a tizzy. Fans will be able to watch all the sessions live - from the first practice session on Friday to the race on Sunday. The next 5,000 tickets have been available since Friday, 2 October. Personalised seats are available online from 199 euros.

In 1995, fans witnessed Michael Schumacher's first victory at the Nürburgring. He subsequently stood at the top of the podium four more times in the Eifel. In 2007, the Michael Schumacher S, a combination of curves, was named after the seven-time Formula 1 world champion and in 2016, he even received the Nürburgring Award for his life's work. These events show the Kerpener's special relationship with the Nürburgring. The Formula 1 debut of his son Mick, which will now take place next weekend during the first free practice, is therefore also a remarkable event for Nürburgring Managing Director Mirco Markfort: "This is an absolute goosebump moment. Everyone knows how connected his father is to the Nürburgring. The fact that fans can now be there around the track as this story continues to be written makes me all the happier."

Tickets from 199 euros - perfect overview thanks to large screens
Up to 20,000 fans will line the route from 9 to 11 October. Today, Friday, the district administration of Ahrweiler approved the next sales stage. As of now, additional seats of the cheapest ticket category 3 (199 euros) are available on the grandstands

T7, T9, T10a and T10b as well as seats on T8 (category 2 / 299 euros). All these seats offer a good view of the action. In addition, many large screens provide a perfect overview of the entire racing action. Tickets are once again available exclusively online, personalised and seat-specific. This also guarantees contact tracking 

Focus on the health of all visitors
To ensure the best possible health of all visitors, no guests from designated risk areas (7-day incidence > 30) will be admitted during the event weekend. Already this week, the circuit has started to give advance warning to ticket holders from highly infectious areas in Germany and abroad. "We take infection control very seriously and are working closely with the Institute for Hygiene and Public Health from Bonn on this," Markfort explains. "But it's also important to us that we maintain the usual sense of service for ticket holders when it comes to the measures. That's why we inform early and transparently." Spectators who are not allowed to travel themselves on the weekend due to their place of residence will receive information on the Thursday before the event - and then, of course, their money back. A current, negative Corona test can still make the visit possible. Staff at a specially set up information desk will take care of these concerns.
