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.

Trucks, darts, bikes and Rossi: every weekend in July, the Nürburgring attracts exciting events. The month starts with a premiere: the DLMM (July 5 - 7) is coming to the ring°boulevard for the first time as one of the biggest darts tournaments in Europe. At the International ADAC Truck Grand Prix (July 11 - 14), more than 100,000 visitors will once again celebrate a lively and fun-filled trucking weekend. Just a week later, the Nordschleife will become a two-wheeler mecca at Rad am Ring (July 19 - 21) and the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe (July 26 - 28) will bring a huge field of super sports cars to the Grand Prix circuit at the end of the month. At the wheel of one of the 50 GT3 cars: motorcycle legend Valentino Rossi. The events at a glance: Int. ADAC Truck-Grand-Prix (July 11 - 14)Music, trade fair, motorsport: the Truck Grand Prix combines all of this into a unique event. Race trucks from the FIA European Truck Racing Championship will be competing for points and trophies on the track. Other races such as the ADAC GT Masters round off the horsepower action. Manufacturers, haulage companies and suppliers present themselves to the public in the paddock. Also on hand: the children's area - including a duck rodeo and bouncy castles. The Müllenbachschleife, part of the Grand Prix circuit, will be transformed into a festival area. There will be a country evening on Friday - with Tom Astor, among others. Saturday promises a party atmosphere. Isi Glück, Julian Benz, Nancy Franck and Peter Wackel will ensure a good mood.

Nürburgring fans will be very familiar with racing teams such as ROWE Racing, GetSpeed and Walkenhorst Motorsport, as well as the drivers: Maro Engel, Augusto Farfus and Marco Wittmann, to name but a few. The best known, however, is Valentino Rossi. The Italian motorcycle star is also fast on four wheels. One thing is just like in his MotoGP days: his iconic starting number 46.

Last year's winner of the individual classification, for example, rode no less than 26 laps of the Nordschleife in 24 hours.

In the next five years, "Rad am Ring" will continue to thrill athletes and spectators alike. The Nürburgring operating company concluded a long-term contract with the organiser until 2028, meaning that the traditional event, which celebrated its 20th anniversary this year, will also complete at least the quarter century at the legendary race track. "As an integral part of the Nürburgring calendar, Rad am Ring completes our variety of motorsport, festival and sporting events. We are very pleased about the good partnership, which we will now continue for at least the next five years," explains Ingo Böder, Managing Director of Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG and adds: "Rad am Ring perfectly represents the central values that define the Nürburgring for athletes and fans: this includes the sporting ambition to master our demanding course in the best possible way and the friendly cooperation as well as the mix of leisure, amateur and professional sport." Varied programme for recreational, amateur and professional athletesEvery year, the cycling event, which celebrated its premiere at the Nürburgring in 2003, becomes a meeting point for thousands of cycling enthusiasts for an entire weekend. The programme is varied and, in addition to the 24-hour cycle race as the highlight, offers many other disciplines and activities for visitors and active cyclists. A 24-hour race for mountain bikes is just as much a part of the programme as the Dextro Energy Kids Race, tour rides over the Nordschleife, races for everyone over 25, 75 and 150 kilometres as part of the German Cycling Cup or a race of the German Cycling League. The heart of the cycling festival at the Nürburgring is a comprehensive expo in the paddock, where companies from the urban, tourist and sporting cycling sectors present their products. The fact that this multifaceted concept was developed over 20 years and still works so successfully today is largely thanks to the organiser eventwerkstatt GmbH. The managing director of eventwerkstatt GmbH is also the organisational director of Rad am Ring and has been involved from the very beginning: "The contract extension ensures that this fun will continue for at least another five years. This is good news and for me also very emotional," says Hanns-Martin Fraas happily. "The Nürburgring with its legendary Nordschleife and the modern Grand Prix Track is the perfect home for our event and inspires our participants every year. We will certainly be able to celebrate 25 years of Rad am Ring in the Green Hell." This means that two-wheeled fans will be able to pull out their calendars in the coming years as well, when the Nürburgring presents its annual calendar each year. Rad am Ring will certainly be included in this calendar. Cycling & Running ClubIn addition to the major event "Rad am Ring" organised by eventwerkstatt GmbH, there are also other highlights for sports enthusiasts in the Nürburgring calendar. The operator of the race track organises the so-called "Rad- & Lauftreff" (bike & run meeting) regularly throughout the year. On various evening dates, participants can conquer the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix Track by bike or jog around the Grand Prix circuit. The event always starts at 7 pm. Runners and cyclists pay just €5 for the time slot on the Grand Prix Track. Two and a half hours of cycling on the combined Grand Prix Track and Nordschleife cost €18. Participants can park for free in car park D5.
