In the coming months, the construction machines at the Nürburgring will be back at full throttle. The annual winter construction work has begun. While a total of around 1.3 kilometers of asphalt will be replaced on the Nordschleife, various maintenance measures are planned for the Grand Prix circuit. At the same time, construction of the new exit for tourist drivers at Döttinger Höhe has begun. In total, the Nürburgring is investing 2.5 million euros this winter to prepare the world-famous track for the 2025 season. On the Nordschleife, the asphalt work this year is focused on two sections of the track. In the Pflanzgarten area, 1.15 kilometers of the track will be renovated from the so-called Eiskurve. In the Kesselchen area, 180 meters of asphalt will be renewed in the right-hand bend just before the “Steilstrecke” section. These measures include the complete renewal of the asphalt surface in order to preserve the unique characteristics of the track while at the same time meeting safety requirements. At the same time, extensive maintenance work is being carried out on the Grand Prix circuit and in the adjacent paddock. To ensure that the versatile event areas continue to offer the best conditions for a smooth running of events ranging from the 24-hour race to Rock am Ring and from the Truck Grand Prix to Rad am Ring, drainage channels, cabling ducts, hydrants and shafts, among other things, are being modernized. New exit for tourist driversA key project this winter is the construction of an additional exit at Döttinger Höhe. This measure is intended to significantly reduce the potential for congestion during the popular tourist trips. In the future, on busy days, it will be possible to exit directly onto the parallel L93 after completing a lap. “The schedule for all three parallel measures is again very tight,” explains Alexander Schnobel, the long-standing project manager for the construction work at the Nürburgring. “Just a few days ago, the season finale of the endurance series and the last day of the Touristenfahrten took place here – now the construction machines have taken over the track. The goal is to hand everything over in perfect condition for the new season. As in motorsport, the same applies here: top performance in the shortest possible time, in all weathers.” All the work should be completed by the beginning of March so that the 2025 season can start at the Nürburgring in good time. The Nürburgring had already communicated the event calendar for the coming year in September. The first race will be the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series on March 22. Traditionally, tourist drivers are allowed on the track during opening hours in the days leading up to the race. The Nürburgring traditionally announces these dates, eagerly awaited by Nordschleife fans, in December.

Outstanding atmosphere and top-class sport in an atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else - that is what the European Darts Galas combine. The dates for the 2025 events have now been set. The series of events will focus on German-speaking countries, with fourteen galas in Germany and two events in Austria. It all kicks off on January 10 in Wetzlar. In addition to the traditional venues such as Europa-Park, Neu-Ulm and Lingen, the European Darts Galas will once again be stopping at the LANXESS Arena in Cologne and, for the first time, in Schwechat and Salzburg, Austria. The fans can look forward to top-class line-ups with world-class players such as Luke Humphries, Gerwyn Price, Michael van Gerwen and Germany's number 1 Martin Schindler. “It's great that we are also holding our darts galas in two cities in Austria for the first time. This year, the crème de la crème of the sport will once again be joining us on the Gala Tour, which, in addition to its sporting highlights, is particularly entertaining due to the relaxed atmosphere,” says Werner von Moltke, President of PDC Europe and organizer of the tournaments. Because although the show events are about winning, it's not about prize money or ranking points. The pros will wow the audience with their skills and trick shots. Spectators can often look forward to unique experiences, such as show duels against the pros or a fan walk-on alongside their idol. Tickets for Darts am Ring are available to buy here.

Thrills and goosebumps at the Nürburgring: this year's Race4Friends was once again a unique day for 890 people with mental or physical disabilities. Speedy taxi laps conjured up pure joy on their faces. Thanks to the voluntary commitment of organizers, helpers and photographers, drivers with their racing cars and the Nürburgring, the event was once again an extraordinary experience with unforgettable memories for everyone involved. From the moment you got into the car to the home stretch, the emotions were tangible. Even the cool November weather, with light rain and fog, could not stop the participants and volunteer drivers from transforming the heart of the Nürburgring into a place full of joy. Accompanied by a well-rehearsed team, the first laps on the Grand Prix circuit started in the early morning hours. By the evening, the stream of 100 racing cars, which were parked bumper to bumper in the pit lane, repeatedly ready to go for their passengers, did not stop. On and off the race track, many #HeartRace moments were created thanks to the support of 120 drivers, 200 helpers and 300 companions. In the pits, everything from sandwiches to a hot lunch was available to satisfy every appetite. A DJ provided the background music and the police dog unit thrilled visitors with demonstrations of their skills. Also in the thick of the action: the Nürburgring mascot Legend, who was available for countless souvenir photos.“Our event thrives on the joy and enthusiasm we give to people,” emphasizes Christoph Brune, head of organization and 1st chairman of Race4Friends e.V. ‘That is our motivation and at the same time our greatest reward.’ Since 2010, the association has been organizing the event every year, offering people with disabilities unique motorsport experiences. This is made possible by the support of numerous volunteers and partners. This year, the Nürburgring once again provided the entire infrastructure, including the race track and pit facilities, as well as the track security and staff, free of charge. The “Beast of the Green Hell”, the Mercedes-AMG GT R PRO of the Nürburgring Driving Academy, was also used as a fast taxi. “We are proud to have supported this special event in so many ways for years,” explains Nürburgring Managing Director Christian Stephani. ”The joy that can be felt among everyone involved shows how much positive impact can be achieved together. That cannot be bought with any currency in the world. It's unique.”

The “Job Fair powered by Nürburgring” was once again a huge success. With 60 exhibitors and numerous interactive offerings, the fair transformed the ring°arena into a lively meeting place for students, career changers and professionals. For the third time, regional and national companies presented their diverse job offerings and created a special fair experience with lovingly designed booths. A total of 2,500 visitors came to the job fair at the Nürburgring and took advantage of the opportunity for personal discussions, comprehensive information and a series of exciting hands-on activities on both days of the fair. On Friday alone, around 600 students from four secondary schools in Kelberg, Adenau, Ahrweiler and Andernach came. On Saturday, other interested professionals and career changers were also drawn to the Ring. The opportunities for exchanging ideas and trying things out were huge. For example, visitors were able to test their skills with remote-controlled construction vehicles in a large sandbox at the Krämer Bau stand from Kelberg. Meanwhile, Manthey impressed with an attractive eye-catching Porsche and presented its portfolio, which extends far beyond motorsport. Another real eye-catcher was the exhibition stand of the German armed forces, which was even bigger this time around due to the positive experiences at last year's job fair at the Nürburgring. The Nürburgring itself also took the opportunity to present its extensive job offers. Visitors were able to take a seat in the cockpit of a formula racing car or in an electric go-kart and learn more about the wide range of career opportunities at the Nürburgring. These include job offers from Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG as the operator of the race track, the Nürburgring Hotels and the Nürburgring Holiday Park, the Nürburgring eSports Bar and the video production company Nürburgring TV. The latter documented the trade fair event on site in order to then create an emotional clip – a so-called after movie – about the trade fair. “After the third event, we can say that the Job Fair powered by Nürburgring has developed into an indispensable platform for career opportunities in the region. This positive development shows not only how important such a platform is, but also how attractive the Nürburgring is perceived as a venue,” explains the managing director of Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG, Ingo Böder, adding: “It is truly impressive to see how creatively and diversely the companies present their job offers and how great the interest of the visitors is. We are proud that this fair makes an important contribution to economic and professional development in the region and we are already looking forward to the next event.” This will most likely take place again in November 2025 – and who knows, maybe one of this year's visitors will present the job portfolio of their new employer at the Job Fair powered by Nürburgring. All the companies that took part this year, along with links to their websites, can be found at www.nuerburgring.de. What the exhibitors said about the “Job Fair powered by Nürburgring” Tanja Krämer, Marketing | Krämer Bau GmbH“With our location in Kelberg, the Eifel region is a central catchment area for us. The job fair offers us an ideal platform to present our company and the diverse opportunities for employees. We particularly appreciate the broad target group, which ranges from young people to applicants of all ages. We always rely on creative ideas at our stand to attract attention and get people talking: This year, we have therefore set up an interactive sandbox with a remote-controlled excavator. This way, we want to engage visitors in a playful way and start a conversation, which worked well.” Martin Raeder, Managing Director | Manthey Racing GmbH“Manthey is constantly developing as a company. In this context, it is important for us to also rely on talent from the region. The job fair at the Nürburgring is therefore a very good opportunity for us to fill our apprenticeships for the coming year as well as our diverse positions for experienced professionals. We are pleased to be working with the Nürburgring in this area as well and to be part of the fair. We are having many interesting discussions with applicants on site, and hopefully we will be able to welcome some of them to Manthey in the future.” Master Sergeant Dominik Hermes, Head of Exhibition Stand | Bundeswehr“The increase in our booth space at this year's fair is the result of the positive experiences from last year. With the support of our consulting office in Koblenz, we decided to do this. The Bundeswehr offers both military and civilian career changers numerous career opportunities, which we present here. In addition to the interesting discussions on site, we also always point out our application portal. Here, interested parties can find out which regional options are also available as a civilian employee.” You can find our job vacancies here.
