From August 1 to 3, the 52nd BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nürburgring invites visitors to take a high-caliber journey through the history of motorsport, featuring numerous racing series, prominent drivers, and legendary vehicles. Once again, the touring car classes are particularly well represented this year: Numerous DTM heroes will be making their comeback in the “Golden Era Touring Car” races. The iconic two-litre super touring cars will also be competing in their own race for the first time. Together with the spectacular DRM Revival and many other races and demo runs from the pre-war era to the early 2000s, the weekend offers automotive diversity, powerful sounds and pure emotion.  DTM heroes back on the trackThey are among the most popular classics in historic motorsport: the touring cars of the 1980s and 1990s. When these legends meet at the Nürburgring, goose bumps are guaranteed. This year, numerous former DTM greats will be providing a special reunion. Kris Nissen will be at the start in a BMW E30 M3. DTM legend Roland will be sharing a Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth he built himself with his son Sebastian. Volker Strycek and Kurt Thiim, two other influential figures in DTM history, will also be there. Multiple WTCC champion Yvan Muller will be making his first appearance at the Oldtimer Grand Prix – a real highlight for international touring car fans. And there will even be visitors from Australia: John Bowe, former V8 Supercars champion, is traveling to the event to cause a stir in a Volvo 240 Turbo. Altfrid Heger could also do the same in a rare Audi 200 M8. Henry Walkenhorst is not only an active endurance specialist at the start, but also a former DTM team boss, and the list of ex-DTM drivers is rounded off by Volker Schneider and Marc Hessel. These drivers not only stand for thrilling motorsport, but also for living history, presented with magnificent racing cars. There will be a reunion with the BMW M3, Mercedes 190 EVO, Sierra Cosworth, and many other unforgettable racing cars. For many fans, these names are legendary – and they can look forward not only to thrilling motorsport, but also to a big autograph session in the tent of media partner Motor Klassik. The races on Saturday and Sunday are must-see events for anyone who loves the classic sound and unmistakable appearance of these racing cars. Group 5 power at the DRM RevivalMotorsport history is also impressively revived in the German Racing Championship, with a fascinating mix of two- to four-liter racing cars, including numerous vehicles from the spectacular Group 5. And the field of these rare vehicles continues to grow: this year, eleven Group 5 racing cars will compete against each other – more than ever before at the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix. Fan favorite Peter Mücke, serial winner of previous editions of the race, will once again be bringing his powerful Ford Capri Turbo to the starting line, where he will face competition from the Griesemann family's Porsche 935 K3, various BMW 320 Group 5 cars, and rare exotics such as the Ford Remus Capri and the BMW 2002 Group 5. The DRM starting field will be complemented by classics such as the Opel Manta, BMW 635 CSI and De Tomaso Pantera – a tribute to the golden era of German racing, powerful, loud and unmistakable. Full house in the battle for the German Historic Car ChampionshipThe touring car, GT, and sports car races, which count toward the German Historic Car Championship, also offer plenty of action and treats for classic car enthusiasts. The Historic Championships '65 and '81 feature starting fields that reflect the diversity of European motorsport history in all its glory. The two races of the Historic Championship '65 will feature iconic vehicles such as the Jaguar E-Type, the Shelby Cobras, various Lotus Elan and Elite models, as well as fascinating one-offs such as an Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato and a Lister Jaguar Knobbly. While these older vehicles will compete in two 30-minute races on Saturday and Sunday, the Historic Championship '81 will be a one-off event: On Saturday, powerful models such as the Porsche Carrera RSR, De Tomaso Pantera GTS, and the mighty Ford GT40 will battle it out for 90 minutes. Particularly exciting: classic touring cars such as the Alfa Romeo GTAm, BMW 2002, Ford Escort RS1600, and the rare VW-Porsche 914/6 GT will also feature in the field. Both series have one thing in common: the vehicles must be built in accordance with FIA Appendix K, ensuring an authentic racing experience. More than just racing: a journey through time and an experience for all the sensesIn addition to the exciting races in the touring car and GT classes, visitors to the 52nd BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix can look forward to a varied program that covers the entire spectrum of historic motorsport. A special highlight are the Masters Racing Legends races, where visitors can experience original Formula 1 cars from the Cosworth era (1966–1985) – with their typical sound, classic designs, and a field of drivers reminiscent of the great days of Lotus, Tyrrell, McLaren, and Co. The monoposti of the pre-war and early post-war era, the front-engined racing cars of the HGPCA, also bring the history of Grand Prix racing back to the track. The racing program is complemented by invitation and demonstration runs such as the Vintage Sports Car Trophy and historic motorcycles under the umbrella of “Grab the Flag!” Anyone who wants to experience the thrill of this extraordinary journey back in time in its purest form should secure a ticket early – and then look forward to a weekend full of sound, character, and classic racing action.

BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix 2025: More history, more fascination, more action

03.07.2025

There is just under a month to go until the BELMOT Oldtimer-Grand-Prix, and the starting grids for the 13 races and demo runs are gradually taking shape. The first series organizers can even report a “full house” – and, as is typical for this traditional classic event at the Nürburgring, class and mass, tradition and performance will once again come together this year: A perfect mix for a historic motorsport weekend at its finest. There are some fascinating highlights in the three Formula starting fields, which range from the early days of Grand Prix racing and the infancy of the Formula 1 World Championship to the 1960s and 1980s: this fascinating era can be experienced at first hand with the “racing driving school cars” of the junior classes of the time and the magnificent cars of the Cosworth Formula 1 era (1966 to 1985). From the forefathers of Formula 1 to the 1980sFour free-standing wheels, a driver's seat – and the Formula racing car is ready to go. It quickly became apparent that this simple design principle could be used to create an exciting sport, and so the oldest Grand Prix cars at the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix date back to the pre-war era. They start in the HGPCA (Historic Grand Prix Cars Association), which announces a field of almost 30 front-engined monoposti. They represent the prehistory and early history of Formula 1, which began in 1950. Particularly fascinating: the pre-war Maseratis built between 1933 and 1939 find their successors in the 250F models of the early Formula 1 years. Formula 2 racing cars (which were also allowed to compete in the World Championship at the time) will also be on the starting line from this period, as will British models such as Cooper and Lotus. Of course, the Ferrari 246 Dino, which marked the transition to the early 1960s, is also included: a fast-paced and fascinating journey through time, where even forgotten car manufacturers such as Peirce, Alta, Emeryson, and Scarab can be seen once again. This promises pure racing history, just like the cars of the legendary three-liter Formula 1 (from 1966). When F1 designers were still calling the shots...Ford Cosworth DFV – no other term better sums up the era of Formula 1 between 1966 and 1985. The three-liter V8 engine racked up over 150 Grand Prix victories and was (in various evolutionary stages) the benchmark in the world championship for 19 years. The British racing series “Masters Racing Legends” is bringing these impressive race cars with their distinctive sound back to the Nürburgring. They date back to a time in the premier class when it wasn't the big manufacturers but the small garages that dominated the scene. McLaren, Williams, Arrows, Tyrrell: these names are music to the ears of motorsport fans, and of course the models from these legendary teams will be on display at the Ring. Lotus is also on the list, as it was team boss and founder Colin Chapman himself who was instrumental in the development of the most successful Formula 1 engine of all time. Of course, there were also German drivers in the premier class during this period, such as Rolf Stommelen (1969–1978), Jochen Mass (1973–1982), Manfred Winkelhock (1982–1985), and Stefan Bellof (1984–1985). However, another part of Germany's Grand Prix history is that there has been a race in the premier class here almost every year since 1951. And time and again, the Nürburgring was the venue. Junghans, once again the official timekeeping partner of the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix this year, was also well known in top-class sport in the 1970s. As innovative timekeeping experts, the Black Forest-based company also made a name for itself in Formula 1 at the time – and this year, it is taking over the patronage of the Masters Racing Legends races at the Oldtimer Grand Prix. The winner will even receive one of the strictly limited edition models for the 52nd edition of the OGP as a special award – with a unique commemorative engraving, of course! The “driving school cars” of the stars of yesteryearThe German (and international) Formula 1 stars would not have been able to make their careers without suitable “driving school cars,” and it is precisely these authentic speedsters from Formula 3 and Formula Ford, for example, that are presented in the packed starting field of the Graf Berghe von Trips Cup. The oldest historic racing series in Germany has announced the maximum possible 36 monoposti for the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix, in which world stars and private drivers learned their craft between 1966 and 1992. Among the cars on display will be the original Martini Mk42 that Ivan Capelli drove to the Formula 3 European Championship title in 1984. An Italian championship-winning car driven by Nicola Larini will also be there – the future DTM and Formula 1 driver won the title in the Dallara F356 Alfa Romeo in 1986. German racing history is represented by John Westenberg, who is bringing a Ralt RT30 VW formerly driven by Bertram Schäfer to the Nürburgring, in which Kris Nissen became Formula 3 vice-champion in 1985. Highlights like these show how intensely racing history can be relived here – topped off with exciting races and the wonderful mix of sound and performance of the monoposti. Lavish starting fields for touring cars and GTsThe fact that spectators at the Nürburgring can look forward to full starting fields does not only apply to the formula classes. The two races for touring cars and GTs in the German Historic Automobile Championship (DHAM) were so popular that the organizers of the Historic Championship '65 and '81 had to announce that “nothing more is possible” because the maximum number of vehicles permitted according to the track inspection report had already been reached. This limit has not yet been reached in the sports car starting fields, but fantastic vehicles have been announced that will ensure a unique spectacle on the track, reminiscent of the heyday of sports cars and prototypes. Numerous former racing stars have also registered for the touring car races, which will revive the golden age of the DTM. The first weekend in August is therefore almost a must-attend event. 

Nürburgring has a full calendar of events in 2025

12.03.2025

Ready for a full-throttle 2025: the engines will finally start up at the Nürburgring in March. And once again, the event calendar is full to bursting: 60 events make the Eifel race track a worthwhile destination for many good reasons well into the fall. Racing spectacle, festival summer, comedy evening or family outing: the Nürburgring will make hearts beat faster again this year. They belong to the Ring as much as the champagne shower on the podium: crowd-pullers such as the Nürburgring 24 Hours, the DTM, Rock am Ring, the Truck Grand Prix and the Oldtimer Grand Prix will once again attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Eifel this year. A fast-paced mix that includes around 60 public events between March and November alone. Major events alternate with hands-on motor sports and small after-work pleasures, such as the Nürburgring cycling and running club or the Afterwork Classics. One of the highlights will be the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring. On the Corpus Christi weekend (June 19-22), well over 100 race cars will take on the ultimate challenge: 24 hours non-stop on the most demanding track in the world. A spectacle – also because of its passionate fans. Tens of thousands will be camping along the track, creating the unique atmosphere of the Ring. One new feature this year is a particularly family-friendly camping option in the new Family & Friends area. If you enjoy the thrilling and close racing on the Nordschleife, there are many other opportunities to experience racing action in the Green Hell throughout the year at the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series and the RCN circuit racing challenge. The International ADAC Truck Grand Prix is also a real experience. For decades, Germany's truckers have been celebrating Christmas with country music, camping and fast-paced racing. This year, the truckers will be on the loose from July 11 to 13. The traditional music festival has recently undergone a rejuvenation. The revamped Saturday evening program now features well-known party artists, and affordable single-day tickets are available for this event. Europe's most famous racing series, the DTM (August 8-10), will once again be a guest on the Nürburgring's sprint track – and will shine with a wide variety of brands, familiar faces and thrilling racing. Or how about a journey back in time to the last century of motorsport? With the Nürburgring Classic (June 13-15), the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix (August 1-3) and the ADAC 1000 km race (September 20-21), three events are dedicated to historic racing cars. Indoor events from comedy to sportsThere will be plenty of laughter and celebration off the track this year: Comedian Carolin Kebekus will be making a guest appearance in the ring°arena in the fall (September 20) with her celebrated Shesus tour. NightWash Live will also be bringing stand-up comedy to the Nürburgring again this year, on November 15. And at Darts am Ring, some of the world's best dart throwers will transform the ring°arena into a madhouse together with many celebrating darts fans on March 29 – just like at the big role model, the Ally Pally. The Nürburgring Family Day on October 26 and the Job Fair on November 7 and 8 round off the indoor highlights. And because the Nürburgring is not just about watching, other hands-on events are looking forward to motivated participants. Whether on two wheels at Rad am Ring (July 18-20), on foot at the Hotfoot Run (May 10), or with the powerful Gargenschatz at GRIP - das Motorevent (July 6). Speaking of garage treasures: Numerous tourist driving days are planned again for all petrol heads, during which anyone can drive on the ring. The Nordschleife and Grand Prix circuit will open their barriers on well over 100 days.

Nürburgring gives outlook on the 2025 annual calendar

04.09.2024

With the current season still in full swing at the Nürburgring, the race track and event location is already giving a preview of the coming year. From international highlights to event exotics and from motorsport to entertainment, the 2025 calendar once again promises the unique Nürburgring mix. A current overview: Exciting motorsport highlights in the Green HellNaturally, the world's longest permanent race track is also characterised by an attractive motorsport calendar in 2025. Particularly popular with fans: endurance motorsport on the Nordschleife. The highlight is the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring, which will once again put man and machine to the ultimate test from 19 to 22 June 2025 and promise a gigantic motorsport party together with tens of thousands of fans. As usual, the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) will kick off the motorsport year. After the first race on 22 March, eight more race days will follow until October, each of which usually falls on a Saturday. Only on 13 and 14 September are two race days scheduled on one weekend for the NLS and therefore also the only race Sunday in the series. The dates of the Nürburgring Rundstrecken Challenge (RCN) are another Nordschleife format on the calendar. Regularity and performance tests offer popular sport from road-legal to race-ready vehicles. From GT3 to XXL: thrilling motorsport from racing cars to race trucksFans of thrilling motorsport will once again get their money's worth on the Grand Prix circuit. The giants of motorsport will compete against each other on the sprint version of the International ADAC Truck Grand Prix from 10 - 13 July. Every year, the event delights visitors with a family-friendly concept of motorsport, festival, colourful paddock and trade fair. Included in the supporting programme: the ADAC GT Masters. The Fanatec GT World Challenge (29 - 31 August) and the Porsche Sports Cup (30 May - 1 June) will feature high-quality racing cars from the world's best-known automotive brands. The Nürburgring Drift Cup, which will host its first round on 26 and 27 April, and GRIP - the motor event that will attract the tuning community to the Eifel on 6 July, are also high on horsepower and, above all, action-packed drifting. The date for the DTM at the Nürburgring has already been finalised. However, fans will have to wait a little longer before the announcement. The racing series will present its annual calendar in the coming days. Experiences with music and muscle powerAway from the roaring sounds of engines, powerful guitar riffs await at the beginning of June. Rock am Ring will get visitors' hearts racing from 6 to 8 June. According to the recently published first wave of bands, ‘Slipknot’ and ‘Bring me the Horizon’ have already been confirmed as headliners for the festival's 40th anniversary alongside other well-known bands. A similar-sounding event name, but with a completely different intention, can be found in the 2025 calendar with Rad am Ring. In mid-July, thousands of tireless participants will once again take to the start line to conquer the Green Hell with their own muscle power. Incidentally, this is also required for the Hotfoot Run - but not on two wheels, but on foot. The obstacle course takes place on 10 May. Fast-paced PS classics in racing actionThe heroes and automotive jewels of days gone by have also once again secured several permanent places on the Ring calendar. Old and youngtimers and memories of many decades of motorsport will be brought to life on the Grand Prix circuit and the Nordschleife. The Nürburgring Classic will kick off 2025 from 13 to 15 June. This will be followed in August by the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix (1st - 3rd) and the legendary ADAC 1000km race from 20th to 21st September. The ADAC RGB season finale, the ADAC Westfalen Trophy and, last but not least, the Kölner Kurs as a historic motorbike event round off the historic programme. Motorbike service and racing on two wheelsSpeaking of motorbikes: after returning to the Nürburgring this year, the International Motorcycle Championship (IDM) is also on the calendar for the coming season. From 5 to 7 September, the series will kick off with thrilling two-wheel racing. There will be impressive pictures of thousands of motorbikes off the racing line at the ‘Anlassen’ motorbike service on 27 April. One of the highlights of the programme: the joint parade around the legendary Nordschleife. Diverse indoor events: entertainment away from the racetrackThe Nürburgring also continues to see a steady increase in events away from the tarmac. And so the 2025 season in the Green Hell starts and ends with indoor events throughout the year. The International Rhine Shiai Karate Tournament will kick off the season on the second weekend in January, while the German Carnival Garda Dance Championship will be the event finale in December. Both events will take place in the ring°arena, as will two cheerleading competitions on 15 and 16 February and the ‘Darts am Ring’ gala in March. The latter is set to become the undisputed fan magnet in the indoor calendar with over 3,000 fans expected. The exact date for the flying darts event will be announced shortly. Further music and entertainment formats at the Nürburgring venues are also scheduled for next year. Comedy at NightWash live, the Nürburgring Family Day and a colourful afternoon at the Disney Channel cinema have been decided for 2025 and will soon be added to the calendar.

BELMOT Oldtimer-Grand-Prix was a successful festival

12.08.2024

Positive results for the largest classic car racing festival on the European continent:  42,000 spectators experienced an all-round successful mix at the 51st BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix at the weekend. Against the backdrop of historic racing at the highest level, the Nürburgring became a meeting place for insiders, experts and, of course, motorsport fans. Around 600 historic vehicles were on display on the race track, as well as numerous classic cars exhibited in the paddock and many fantastic treasures brought to the Nürburgring by the participating one-make clubs or the visitors themselves. The range of participating vehicles in the weekend's twelve racing classes and driving events spanned a good 100 years. There were highlights in practically every starting field with rare or unique racing cars, well-known current and former racing drivers or vehicles taking part for the first time. An American La France from 1918 with an impressive 14.5-liter displacement was the oldest model of the entire weekend. The fully booked starting fields with touring cars, GTs and sports cars also captivated the spectators. A remarkable "class reunion" of top drivers took place in the "Touring Car Golden Era" and the DRM Revival, for which over 100 vehicles had already entered. The autographs of ex-DTM drivers such as Roland Asch, Harald Grohs, Olaf Manthey, Kris Nissen, Peter Oberndorfer, Kurt Thiim and Leopold Prinz von Bayern were particularly popular. Ford GT3 works driver and reigning 24-hour Nürburgring winner Christopher Mies climbed into one of the legendary Ford Capri Turbo cars from the former DRM. Former Formula 1 driver Arturo Merzario - who became famous at the Nürburgring for his rescue of Niki Lauda in 1976 - did the honors as a participant in the FCD Racing Series in the youngest starting field of the weekend. Unique racing cars on the trackThe races for the two-seater sports cars and GTs up to 1965 once again lived up to their reputation as a meeting place for rare and beautiful racing cars. There was a strong Italian accent here with models such as the Ferrari 246 SP and 250 GT, O.S.C.A 37, several Maserati 300 S and two impressive Bizzarini 5300 GTs. British sports cars such as the Austin Healey and Elva MK8 and, of course, German models such as the Porsche 356 and 904 as well as the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL were also on display. The British HGPCA racing series presented Formula 1 cars from the same era in which the monoposti made the transition from front-engined to rear-engined vehicles. There was plenty of historical flair, information and personal encounters with the cockpit stars over the weekend, for example during the grid walk through the starting grid of the Golden Era touring cars, at talks and autograph sessions or during the demonstrations of the legendary Le Mans start. Organizer: Positive balanceThe unique atmosphere at the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix inspired everyone involved and made for satisfied faces: "As organizers, we draw an all-round positive conclusion," says Wolfgang Schulz, Managing Director of CHRSN Sport GmbH for the OGP organizer association, "The historic races this weekend not only impressed with full starting fields, but also with many outstanding vehicles. We are also delighted that numerous participants and guests have already given us positive feedback during the weekend." Despite all the love for history and the preservation of motorsport and automotive heritage, many of those responsible were also looking to the future. Wolfgang Schulz: "After the big anniversary with the 50th edition last year, we started this year with fresh ideas and innovations for the future. We owe this success to the joint efforts of numerous supporters and volunteers. The organizer consortium of CHRSN GmbH, Histomobil GmbH and HMSC-Wirtschafts-GmbH would like to thank all these people and institutions. We look to the future with great optimism." The next edition of the event is already being planned and is expected to take place on the first weekend in August 2025. Strong partners helped shape the eventOn the road to the future, the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix can rely on new and proven partners, who once again played a major role in making this year's event a success. As a new addition to this circle, BELMOT was particularly influential: "It was a great debut for us this year as the title partner of this traditional event. Together with a number of partners, we were able to present ourselves to a knowledgeable and open-minded audience and take away many positive impressions and good encounters," says Roland Koch, Head of Marketing at Mannheimer Versicherung. "It's great that we were also able to set new accents and show perspectives for the future of classic cars and classic car sports with top-class panel discussions." The trade magazine Motor Klassik proved to be a long-standing and loyal partner. In 1984, the magazine was presented to the public at the classic car Grand Prix and consequently celebrated its 40th birthday at the Nürburgring. Watch manufacturer Junghans was not only involved as the official timekeeping partner, but was also present in the paddock. In addition to the timepieces, vehicles from the Steim car collection and a DTM vehicle from Schnitzer-Classic, which was once driven by Jockel Winkelhock, were also on display. The fuel specialists from Aspen were in high demand in the paddock: at their debut, they presented participants with a fuel specially tailored to the needs of classic cars. In the coming years, there are plans with this partner to use more sustainable fuels in racing, which will lead to CO2-neutral historic motorsport in the future.
