Europe's biggest e-darts tournament took place at the Nürburgring for the first time. The Deutsche Liga Mannschafts-Meisterschaften im Darts (DLMM) attracted thousands of players from Germany and neighboring countries at the weekend. Two public viewings and the popular tourist drives rounded off the weekend with the typical Nürburgring variety. For three days, the 3,500 m² ring°boulevard was transformed into the Mecca of E-Darts. 420 teams and 3,000 active players from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands competed against each other on over 200 Löwen dart machines. In total, over 1,400 games were played from Friday to Sunday - from morning until late at night. The teams competed for titles and prizes in six different disciplines - from the C-League to the Bundesliga. Among other things, there were two trips to Las Vegas to be won. Only once did the arrows rest over the weekend. The tournament paused on Friday for the EURO 2024 quarter-final match between Germany and Spain. The darts players were able to enjoy an exclusive public viewing in the ring°boulevard on the 45 x 8 meter ring°wall. Public viewing simultaneously in the ring°boulevard and on the main grandstandFor the first time, there were two parallel public viewings at the Nürburgring, which meant another premiere on the main grandstand. While the darts fans watched the match in the ring°boulevard, the DFB-Elf match was broadcast for the first time for all soccer fans on the LED wall directly at the start-finish straight. The Nürburgring opened the BMW M Power Grandstand especially for this event with free admission. Around 2,000 visitors in black, red and gold kept their fingers crossed for the 24-hour race, DTM or Truck Grand Prix. Soccer broadcast and tourist rides on the start-finish straightAnd even if it was just not enough for the German team in the end, all visitors were able to take home a special Nürburgring experience. Because while the soccer match was shown on the LED wall, the tourist drivers drove around the track. For the first time this year, private drivers were able to experience the combination of the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix circuit in their own vehicles during the opening hours in accordance with the road traffic regulations and drove past directly in front of the main grandstand. The stadium atmosphere was complemented by the matching engine sound. Darters, soccer fans and tourist drivers celebrated a diverse Nürburgring weekend together.

In order to improve traffic flow and optimize the experience for all tourist drivers, the Nürburgring is introducing new access and exit regulations for tourist drives. From now on, accessing the Nordschleife area is exclusively for direct access to the Nordschleife track. This means that anyone turning from the L93 roundabout towards the Nordschleife will be directed to the barrier and will need a lap ticket or sufficient credit. Simply turning towards the parking lots in this area during approach is no longer permitted. Only drivers who have completed a lap of the Nordschleife can subsequently use the designated parking areas in the access area. This change aims to prevent cross traffic and entrance traffic that previously only served parking search purposes. These changes are intended to optimize traffic flow at the Nordschleife access and thus improve the driving experience for all visitors. Drivers who have completed a lap of the Nordschleife now have the following options: Direct exit to the L93 roundabout. Exit to the large parking lot at the Nordschleife access. Direct passage for another lap - depending on operation, either through the mobile barrier at Döttinger Höhe or through direct passage to the barrier system. These new measures are intended to significantly facilitate and streamline outgoing traffic. The goal is to reduce congestion and thereby improve the user experience for all visitors. Parking for restaurant visitors and site guests: Visitors who wish to access the access area or the Devil's Diner restaurant will find ample parking directly opposite the access on the other side of the roundabout. Pitstop Area remains part of tourist drives: The new regulation is another step after the introduction of a 'Pitstop Area' for tourist drives last year. This means that tourist drivers can take a break or refuel between their laps on the Nordschleife in the area at T13. Then it's straight back onto the track. Around 100 vehicles can be accommodated here simultaneously. To ensure orderly operation, two marshals regulate the traffic. About tourist drives: The rules for a drive as part of the tourist drives are very simple: Basically, anyone with a driver's license and a licensed, roadworthy car or motorcycle can drive on the Grand Prix track or Nordschleife. The rules of the road traffic regulations apply, including the right-hand traffic rule.
