What a start to the 49th season of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie: Falken Motorsports celebrated a double victory right at the opening round. Sven Müller and Morris Schuring were waved off in the Porsche 911 GT3 R with a lead of 3.068 seconds ahead of their teammates Dorian Boccolacci and Nico Menzel. But that wasn’t all, as in the end, four sports cars from Zuffenhausen occupied the top positions. The success for Porsche was completed by Ayhancan Güven and Thomas Preining in the 'Grello' from Manthey-Racing, as well as Matteo Cairoli and Bastian Buus in the Dinamic GT Porsche. Around 7,000 spectators attended the 70th ADAC Westfalenfahrt, visiting the grandstands, the paddock, and the exclusive spectator zones at the Nordschleife. Only once in the history of the traditional racing series have more tickets been sold on a single race day. Interest from fans was also high at the free Nordschleife spots for the first race of the season. The first surprise of the day came from Frank Stippler in qualifying: in the Audi R8 LMS from JUTA RACING, he secured the team's first pole position, setting a time of 7:51.530 minutes, driving for the team built around the ambitious amateur drivers 'SELV' and Alexey Veremenko. A colorful brand mix followed in qualifying on the other positions: the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 from Walkenhorst Motorsport, the McLaren 720S GT3 Evo from Dörr Motorsport, the Ferrari 296 GT3 from REALIZE KONDO RACING with Rinaldi, the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 from Red Bull Team ABT, the two Mercedes-AMG GT3s from Mercedes-AMG Team GetSpeed, and the BMW M4 GT3 from ROWE RACING. The second Mustang from HRT qualified in 13th place on its Nordschleife debut. After the start, Stippler initially defended the lead. A brief rain shower between practice and the race turned the opening phase into a tire thriller. At the end of lap one, the Abt Lambo returned to the front. The Dörr McLaren also collected some lead laps, as did the Porsche 911 GT3 R from BLACK FALCON Team EAE, the Aston Martin from Walkenhorst, 'Grello', and the two Falken Porsches. "The start was difficult, as we began the race on rain tires and came into the pits for a tire change to slicks right after the first lap," said Schuring, who celebrated his first NLS victory ten years after his father. 'Gerwin' won the season finale in 2015 in the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup MR from Black Falcon – the last non-GT3 victory. "But that turned out to be absolutely right later on, because the strategy worked perfectly." Müller added: "From P15 to P1 – that's how it's done." Even though he was waved off in second place behind his teammates, Menzel was satisfied: "You couldn’t have a better start to the new season." DTM champion Preining was also glad to have claimed a podium finish in the end. After an unintended spin in the AMG Arena on lap one, the Manthey duo worked their way up from the back of the first starting group step by step. "To finish third after the turbulent starting phase was not something we expected," said the Austrian. "We were on the right tire from the beginning and therefore saved a pit stop." Behind the leading quartet, the ROWE BMW, the GetSpeed AMG #17, the Dörr McLaren #69, and the Abt Lambo crossed the line in fifth to eighth positions. Winners of the Pro-Am class were Daan Arrow, Gabriele Piana, Ben Bünnagel, and Mike Stursberg in the Black Falcon Porsche. Moran Gott is the first 'Driver of the Race'BMW 325i driver Moran Gott is the first 'Driver of the Race'. The Israeli contested the race solo with the vehicle he had built himself over the past six weeks. He wasn’t discouraged by setbacks during the race. A crash was repaired during the race by Sorg Rennsport, who support the vehicle on-site, and a tire failure in the final stages also didn’t stop Gott from being classified fourth in his class. "Normally, I want to be honored when I win," said Gott. "Today, many things didn’t go perfectly – but I still wanted to continue. Being recognized for that does make me a bit proud." The decision on the 'Driver of the Race' is made jointly by the NLS race management, ILN driver committee, and the track announcer. The trophies are donated by the Interessengemeinschaft Langstrecke Nürburgring (ILN). The first victory in this year’s newly created BMW 325i Challenge by Goodyear went to Jonas Spölgen and Eugen Becker. Second place was secured by Juha Miettinen, Dan Berghult, and Oliver Frisse from Keeevin Sports and Racing. Simon Sagmeister, Jürgen Huber, and Dirk Vleugels completed the class podium. Father and son Bohrer win two races in one dayIn the first race of the new NLS Youth Kart Championship, eight-year-old Jonas Bohrer won his K1 age class. Afterwards, he gave his dad strong support – and dad followed suit confidently. In the NLS race, father Michael Bohrer, together with Gerrit Holthaus in the Hyundai i30N, claimed first place in the VT2-F+4WD class. "A cool and perfect race day," grinned Jonas after the award ceremony, which took place just before the NLS class victory ceremony. In K2, the kart-kids winner was Mick Schmidt (ACV OC Lahnstein), in K3 David Böttcher (MSC Konz), in K4 Florian Rauhe (MSC Adenau), and in K5 Tobias Mosdzen (KSC Wülfrath). The second round of the ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie will take place on April 26. The ADAC Ruhrpott Trophy will once again be held over a four-hour distance.

This grants access to the open grandstands at the Grand Prix circuit, the exclusive spectator areas at Brünnchen and Pflanzgarten, as well as the paddock, pit lane, and starting grid.

Giuliano Alesi, whose father Jean celebrated successes in Formula 1 and DTM, is competing for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing with a Supra Evo GT4 in the SP8T class.

While father Michael is piloting a Hyundai i30N for CSRacing together with Gerrit Holthaus, Jonas is taking part in the opening race of the 1st NLS Kart Slalom Championship. “I'm really looking forward to our very special racing premiere together,” says Michael Bohrer. “Jonas grew up at the Nürburgring.

A fast-paced mix that includes around 60 public events between March and November alone. Major events alternate with hands-on motor sports and small after-work pleasures, such as the Nürburgring cycling and running club or the Afterwork Classics. One of the highlights will be the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring.

Over the weekend, tourist drivers returned the roar of engines to the Nürburgring under truly perfect conditions. With bright sunshine and temperatures reaching up to 16 degrees Celsius, fans and enthusiasts took their first laps of the season. Thousands of visitors lined the legendary track on both days, soaking in the unique atmosphere of the Ring. The tourist drivers were the first to test sections of the newly resurfaced Nordschleife. Beforehand, the Nürburgring had successfully completed its winter construction work. Fresh asphalt in the Pflanzgarten, Adenauer Forst, and Kesselchen sections ensures top conditions for all drivers throughout the 2025 season. Another premiere at the first tourist driving weekend was the new exit at Döttinger Höhe. "It was a truly successful season opener for us and for all visitors," said Nürburgring Managing Director Ingo Böder. "Both the new exit and the fully operational digital track monitoring system performed excellently. As a result, we were able to maximize traffic flow and safety on the track right from the first weekend." Tourist Drivers Share Their Excitement for the Season StartWith the reopening of the Nordschleife, the legendary Nürburgring asphalt awoke from its winter break—much to the delight of the tourist drivers. "The season is finally back, and so is the Nordschleife! The new exit and digitalization were a great investment and noticeably ease traffic," summarized Christian Scherer from Montabaur, expressing his enthusiasm. US citizen Tom Tisdale, who turned heads on the track with his Corvette, also praised the improvements: "The new asphalt has great grip. You always need a little time to get used to it after the winter, but I quickly got an excellent feel for the car." "The atmosphere was simply incredible," said George Basdos from Greece. "Perfect weather, amazing cars everywhere—the Nürburgring is back, and it feels fantastic!" Dutch content creator Misha Charoudin, who has been at the Nürburgring for ten years, added: "We've never had such great weather for a season opener. The new asphalt sections are a dream, and the new exit works flawlessly." Alongside the track, the thousands of visitors contributed to the typical Nürburgring experience. "At times, it almost felt like Good Friday—so much excitement and great vibes everywhere!" said Viktoria Bochen from Germany. "I really missed the people around the Ring and was thrilled to see so many familiar faces again." Julien from France, who traveled eleven hours just for the first tourist driving weekend, summed up what many were thinking: "If the rest of the season is like this, we're in for a fantastic year!"

Record advance ticket sales for anniversary: Germany's most important festival is looking forward to 90,000 fans. From June 6-8, 2025, Rock am Ring will celebrate its 40th anniversary with 100 acts. Just in time for its fortieth anniversary, the legendary German festival is reporting sold out. Never before have 90,000 tickets for the mega-event at the Nürburgring been sold out so early. Rock am Ring has been breaking records for months, and now the most important German festival is sold out. In a highly dynamic European festival landscape, the industry leader is holding its own by focusing on an exclusive program and on the festival experience of the fans – the classic Rock am Ring values.The success story comes just in time for the 40th anniversary of the iconic festival. On the 1985 Whitsun weekend, tens of thousands of music fans made the pilgrimage to the Nürburgring for the first time, in a different century, a completely different festival landscape. The anniversary edition now represents both the history of Rock am Ring and a departure into the future. In times of constant change, the genuine festival promise of a temporary utopia on the Ring remains and each year anew creates the framework for a well-organized chaos. The newly designed Rock am Ring site, with its futuristic elements, towering LED columns and the biggest stages in the festival's history, is symbolic of this controlled escapism. “We are building a small parallel universe with numerous loving details that fans can dive into with gusto,” says Jana Posth, Festival Director Rock am Ring. At Rock am Ring, ensuring the best festival experience for fans still means first and foremost: presenting the best possible program. Rock am Ring will remain a multi-genre festival with a focus on guitar in its anniversary year, but in 2025 it will be more diverse than ever: insider tips, crowd favorites, and major acts will be performing back-to-back, and the program will reflect the full diversity of the current music scene. That is the magic of Rock am Ring: everything that festival culture stands for will be brought to life again at the Nürburgring in 2025, with concerts lasting well into the night and a clear focus on a passion for music and community.
