Strikes instead of lap times: Nürburgring opens new bowling center in ring°carré

16.01.2026

Where engines roar and lap times count, it will soon be time to say: All ten! Just in time for the Easter holidays, a new bowling center called ring°bowling will open on March 27, 2026, in the ring°carré at the Nürburgring. The completely renovated building of the former event location “Eifelstadl” will thus become another highlight in the extensive range of leisure and adventure activities on offer. The facility will be operated by Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG – as a clear component of the Nürburgring's strategic orientation as a year-round event, leisure, and B2B destination.

The new bowling center offers space for up to 64 players at the same time on eight modern lanes (up to eight people per lane). Various game modes ensure variety – whether for a bowling evening with friends, family outings, children's birthday parties, or company celebrations. Online booking will be available via the Nürburgring website from the opening date.

More than just bowling: darts, billiards, sports broadcasts, and snacks
In addition to bowling, visitors can enjoy other games such as billiards and darts. Live sports events are also broadcast regularly, including soccer, NFL, and, of course, motorsports. Comfortable seating areas invite guests to linger, and drinks and snacks are available directly at the lanes. For those with a bigger appetite, the Bitburger Gasthaus and the Italian restaurant Lucia are located in the immediate vicinity. In addition, the Nürburgring eSports Bar, not far from ring°bowling, continues to offer digital racing in high-quality full-motion simulators at ring°carré. With the bowling center, ring°carré is continuing to develop into a leisure and recreation area – for motorsport fans and leisure visitors alike.

“A high-quality experience for the entire region”
“The new bowling center was designed with a clear focus on quality and an attractive visitor experience,” explains Ingo Böder. "With Brunswick Bowling, we have the world's leading manufacturer and supplier of bowling equipment at our side. The whole thing is complemented by classic leisure games such as darts and billiards – this allows us to create a high-quality, versatile offering for people from the region, visitors to the Nürburgring, and corporate events."

The new ring°bowling Center took around a year to plan and build – and on March 27, 2026, it will finally be time to say: Strike!
