This family-friendly success story continues: Around 20,000 visitors once again flocked to the Nürburgring this year to enjoy Family Day. Across the entire ring°boulevard of the legendary racetrack, the free XXL program featuring social media stars, mascots, and interactive activities brought smiles to children's faces and created unforgettable HeartRace moments. After last year's successful premiere and the overwhelming response to this year's event, it is already clear: In addition to the many large events focused on motorsports, music, and sports, the Nürburgring will once again open its doors for Family Day in 2025.

“Raise your hands and cheer together!” shouted host Ralf Schwoll from the stage. Both children and adults joined in with the seven mascots. The playful group, featuring Nürburgring’s own racing fox Legend, the cool RPR1 bear, Summi from Rhein-Zeitung, Sharky from the Kölner Haie, Lemur Katta, Flamingo Ingo from schauinsland-reisen, and Mini Monti from monte mare, created a fantastic photo opportunity for this memorable Family Day. The event once again in 2024 offered fun and entertainment for the whole family. The tricks of social media star Jannik Freestyle, an interactive quiz with Lena from the “Kinderfragen” channel, as well as cheerleader performances and thrilling trial shows, were just some of the highlights that delighted the audience.

In addition to the performances, many interactive attractions awaited the visitors: At the "ring°kids Grand Prix," the youngest attendees raced around on Bobby Cars, while older children showcased their skills at the "Polo-Kids-Drift Academy." Kids also got their first taste of the cockpit by sitting in a real Formula car or testing their driving skills on the Nürburgring eSports Bar racing simulators. A surf simulator, puck-shooting at the ice hockey goal, exploring emergency vehicles from the Red Cross, police, and fire departments, as well as a balance bike course, face painting, prize wheels, and a view of the racetrack from the BMW M Power Grandstand, rounded out the day’s free entertainment.

Moreover, the Nürburgring’s other attractions remained popular throughout the day. Families explored the interactive motorsports museum ring°werk, took an exciting backstage tour for an exclusive look behind the scenes of the racetrack, and enjoyed thrilling laps at the ring°kartbahn.

Families can already look forward to the third edition next year. The Nürburgring will announce the exact date well in advance.
