Preparations for the second major regional job fair powered by Nürburgring are in full swing. More than 40 exhibitors have already registered for the career event on 3 and 4 November. In addition to interested professionals, the information on offer is explicitly aimed at pupils, students and future trainees.

In addition to more than 500 pupils scheduled to attend on Friday, the organiser expects a total of 3,000 visitors. Interested companies and schools can still register here. The premiere of the job fair last year already elicited positive feedback from exhibitors and visitors. "We presented our entire job portfolio here around our subject areas and had great conversations," explained Martin Raeder, for example. He is the managing director of Manthey-Racing GmbH, which is participating again this year. This also applies to the Koblenz-Mayen Employment Agency, which has already confirmed its participation in the fair. Regional manager Sonja Jahnen had already stated after the first job fair at the Nürburgring: "The selection of exhibitors is very good and the number of visitors simply shows how important this offer is for the region." So this year, too, there will be a comprehensive range of advice and career opportunities at the versatile event location Nürburgring. More than 40 exhibitors have already confirmed their participation. In addition to the companies already mentioned, the Federal Police and the German Armed Forces, Griesson de Beukelaer, Lidl, Scania, ZF, Dachser, the RLP Finance Administration and many more will also be present. An overview of all exhibitors is available here. Cooperation with schools, media companies and regional networkIn addition to the numerous companies, the Nürburgring has also found attractive cooperation partners in order to further develop the job fair in the long term after its success at the start. For example, several schools have already registered to come to the Nürburgring with their pupils on Friday, 3 November. These include the Grund- und Realschule plus St. Martin Kelberg, the Hocheifel Realschule Plus / Fachoberschule Adenau, the BBS Ahrweiler or the St. Thomas Realschule Plus Andernach. As a media partner, the Wochenspiegel newspaper will provide extensive coverage of the careers event in the newspaper and on its online pages. The film and video production company DBSONIC MEDIA will also accompany the event in the announcement and in the reporting with photos and moving images.

New emergency ambulance of the German Red Cross at the Nürburgring

14.06.2023

A new emergency medical service vehicle (NEF) is now expanding the medical care options at and around the Nürburgring. The vehicle, equipped with state-of-the-art emergency medicine, is the next positive flagship for the successful cooperation between Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG and the DRK Kreisverband Ahrweiler e.V. With the Nürburgring Medical Centre as a medical location in the heart of the race track, joint and continuous investments have been made here for years in the medical infrastructure as well as in care. This enables versatile rescue operations for the region around the Nürburgring. Only last year, the DRK Medical Service put an all-terrain and wadding-capable Unimog into operation, as well as a converted command vehicle and a second, mobile ultrasound device. Now the head of the Nürburgring Medical Centre, Armin Link, presented the latest acquisition to the managing director of the Nürburgring operating company, Ingo Böder, and the district manager of the DRK-Kreisverband Ahrweiler e.V., Ulrich Bergmann. The new four-wheel drive emergency vehicle is equipped with state-of-the-art emergency medical equipment. In addition to an ECG and a respirator, this also includes a mechanical resuscitation aid and a mobile, high-resolution ultrasound device. This enables life-saving diagnoses to be made at the scene of the emergency for important initial measures and for onward transport to the right hospital. The vehicle is also equipped with a special E-rescue kit. This protects the emergency services in the event of accidents with electric vehicles and enables adequate care of patients who have an accident with such a vehicle.  The new emergency ambulance is stationed at the Nürburgring Medical Centre every day from mid-March to mid-November and can also be alerted by the Integrated Control Centre in Koblenz to public ambulance missions in the region in the event of an emergency if the NEF from the Adenau ambulance station is in use and not available. "With the location at the Nürburgring and the many investments made in recent years, we are jointly making an important contribution to medical care at the Nürburgring and for all citizens in the Adenau region," explains DRK district manager Ulrich Bergmann. Particularly in times when medical care in the countryside is facing ever new challenges and in some cases is breaking down, the Nürburgring Medical Centre is a firm medical pillar of the region. The tasks are manifold, because the staff of the DRK Medical Service take care of the needs of many large and small patients. Whether it's wounds to event visitors, injuries to racing drivers or various emergency missions in the region: the team of the modern racetrack hospital is on duty all year round. "We are glad to have such a strong partner at our side in the DRK-Kreisverband Ahrweiler. The new emergency ambulance is a strong addition to the state-of-the-art equipment of the DRK-Medical Service Nürburgring," says Ring Managing Director Ingo Böder.

Thousands of fans already had the best view of the advertising partnership at the ADAC TotalEnergies 24h Nürburgring - from the packed main grandstands. Many more motorsport enthusiasts saw the advertising space worldwide via the live streams of the endurance classic. The contract with H&R for the advertising presence initially runs for two years until 2024. The partnership between H&R and the Nürburgring is the consistent continuation of the communication strategy of the successful company from Lennestadt. Motorsport is an integral part of the H&R DNA. Thus, in addition to long-standing partnerships with the Nürburgring Endurance Series (since 2003) and the 24h Race (since 2018), the commitment at the race track itself now follows. "The development of our suspension components is based on the knowledge we gain when using our products on the racetrack - especially the Nürburgring.

That's why we are committed here." Christian Stephani, Managing Director of Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG is also pleased about the new partnership. "The pit wall is one of the most prominent advertising spaces at the Nürburgring. Directly opposite the BMW M Power main grandstand, it is clearly visible to all visitors along the start and finish straight and also to countless viewers at the TV sets. When selecting advertising partners, we focus on industry diversity and I am pleased that H&R has also found its place here at our race track."

Nürburgring and Mercedes-AMG extend partnership until 2026

24.05.2023

The performance and sports car brand of Mercedes-Benz "Mercedes-AMG" will remain a partner of the Nürburgring until 2026. A corresponding contract has been signed by the managing directors of Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG and Mercedes-AMG GmbH have signed a contract to this effect. AMG thus secures extensive advertising and naming rights to the legendary race track. In addition, the Affalterbach-based company will make its sports cars available for various driver training courses and offers at the Nürburgring. The contract, which runs until 2026, also concludes a total of 10 years of cooperation between the two brands.  AMG has been an active partner of the Nürburgring since 2017. One of the flagships of the long-standing collaboration is the "Beast of the Green Hell" - the Mercedes-AMG GT R PRO, which was also developed on the Nordschleife and with which the co-pilot rides through the Green Hell are also offered. "Our partner Mercedes-AMG is a perfect fit for the Nürburgring in terms of brand culture and communication. Both brands stand for the highest standards and a strong emotional bond with fans, customers and partners," explains Christian Stephani, Managing Director of Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG and adds: "The visual presence of the partnership is more than just an advertising space. It is firmly part of the appearance of our race track." Thus, the three famous letters will continue to show themselves to visitors at various points on the race track. At the Grand Prix circuit, the performance brand continues to give its name to the AMG Arena section of the track and the AMG Grandstand. In addition, the AMG VIP Lounge above the pit lane offers the perfect view of the action. The AMG Showroom continues to await all visitors to the ring°boulevard directly adjacent to the start and finish straight. Advertising space on famous Caracciola carousel - Art Car to honor the partnershipThe advertising space on the world's most famous section of the legendary Nordschleife also remains a highly visible part of the cooperation: a 20-meter-long billboard along the Caracciola Carousel. The Mercedes-AMG GT3 Art Car also drove through the unique steep curve, which sends the vehicles over rough concrete slabs on the inside, during the weekend of the ADAC TotalEnergies 24h Nürburgring. Designed by Andrew Mytro, the race car in its green livery offered a tribute to the Nürburgring Nordschleife in the starting field and also expressed the "rootedness" with the Nürburgring as a cooperation partner. "The Nürburgring and Mercedes-AMG have always been very closely connected. Whether on the Grand Prix circuit or the Nordschleife, the races at the Nürburgring are always the highlights of the season for us as AMG. In addition, the demands on the Nordschleife are also part of the fixed development program for our road cars. As brands, both undoubtedly stand for the extraordinary, for emotionality, for high demands as well as for close motorsport at the highest level. Thus, a close cooperation is only a logical step for us and I am very pleased that we continue this long-standing cooperation with the same partnership understanding," explains Michael Schiebe, Chairman of the Management Board of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. Performance vehicles for Nürburgring driving training and offersIn addition to advertising space and the use of racing vehicles at the Nürburgring, AMG will also remain the performance partner for the driving offers of the Nürburgring Driving Academy with various vehicles. The "Beast of the Green Hell," which was also developed on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, continues to be the official co-pilot vehicle. In the co-driver's seat of the Mercedes-AMG GT R PRO, co-drivers from the age of 18 can be driven around the legendary Nordschleife by a professional driver. In the process, vehicle and driver alike demonstrate how they handle the unique conditions of the Green Hell the most. On a lap of 21 kilometers, there are 73 curves, several uphill and downhill sections and a difference in altitude of 300 meters. The Driving Academy is also supported by four Mercedes-AMG A 45 S instructor vehicles. These are used, for example, in sports driver training courses or as part of courses where participants can obtain racing licenses. In addition to the experiences in the "real world," the partnership can also be found in the virtual world. All advertising space and naming rights can be found in the licensed driving simulations. So the professional eSportsmen and sim racers drive on a virtual lap past the same AMG lettering, advertising spaces and through the AMG Arena as the real pros do in races or the private drivers do in tourist drives. All information about the Nürburgring and AMG can be found on the respective websites www.nuerburgring.de and www.mercedes-amg.com

Sensational atmosphere and 9-Darter at "Darts am Ring

20.03.2023

It was the perfect start to the season at the Nürburgring. While the Nürburgring Endurance Series offered thrilling motorsport on the track and ROWE RACING took its first win of the season, 3,600 fans cheered in the evening at the "Darts am Ring Gala" in the ring°arena. The players put in strong performances on the darts stage and the fans conjured up a world championship atmosphere. One of the highlights was a 9-darter by Jonny Clayton. Even before the players entered the stage, the fans in the ring°arena were at operating temperature. The 3,600 spectators sang along to songs like "Sweet Caroline" and warmed up for the big show. Most of them were dressed up - as has become a tradition with the audience at darts events. Gabriel Clemens visibly enjoyed his home match at the Nürburgring. The German, who reached the semi-finals of the Darts World Championship at the beginning of the year, showed at the legendary race track why he is one of the top players. Only in the final did he have to admit defeat to Luke Humphries from England. The competition was strong. Besides the two finalists, German World Championship participant Florian Hempel and three-time World Champion Michael van Gerwen were also at the start. "9-Darter" by Jonny Clayton - anticipation for "Darts am Ring Gala" 2024Jonny Clayton provided a very special moment: The Welshman threw a so called - and especially rare - 9-Darter in front of the enthusiastic crowd. With only nine darts thrown he brought the 501 points to 0. To be present at such a moment live is something very special for the spectators. Accordingly, the mood was ecstatic. After the successful evening, the darts fans can already look forward to 2024. Then the Darts am Ring Gala will return to the ring°arena for the third time. The date as well as the start of the advance booking will be announced in the coming weeks. Outlook: Four events on two weekendsAfter this weekend's event kick-off, the Nürburgring continues at full speed. Four events are scheduled for the next two weekends.

There will be the second race of the season of the Nürburgring Endurance Series (Saturday, 1 April), the first round of the Nürburgring Drift Cup (1 - 2 April) and the start of the two-wheeler season at the "Anlassen" motorbike service (Sunday, 2 April). And tourist drivers will also get their money's worth - the Nordschleife opens almost daily for fans of the Green Hell.
