The Nürburgring Tryout and Set-up Sessions bring the diversity of motorsport to the Nordschleife right at the start of the season. Traditionally, the engine noises return to the Green Hell. On 18 to 20 March, Friday to Sunday, the teams collect their first kilometres of the year at the Ring. The cars - mainly participants in the Nürburgring Endurance Series, the ADAC TotalEnergies 24h Nürburgring and the Rundstrecken Challenge - will then be on the road on the Nordschleife and the sprint version of the Grand Prix Track. Please note: on Fridays only on the sprint track!

Admission to the paddock and the grandstands is 5 euros per day. Children up to 14 years of age can come free of charge. Tickets for the Tryout and Set-up Sessions are only available on site at the info°center on the days of the event. The 2G rule applies. A medical mask must be worn wherever the distance of 1.50 metres cannot be maintained. As well as in all indoor areas. The same applies around the Nordschleife: keep your distance! The parking areas at the Brünnchen and Pflanzgarten are open.
