Spectacular moments, emotional reunions, and historical highlights at the Oldtimer Grand Prix

03.08.2025

Three days of world-class historic motorsport at the Nürburgring with numerous highlights – that's what the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix offered the approximately 39,000 spectators this weekend. Despite some changeable weather, visitors to the Nürburgring experienced unique racing and show moments: The lineup ranged from pre-war racing cars to Formula 1 cars from the Cosworth era, from picture-perfect sports cars and GTs from the 1950s and 1960s to the legendary DTM and DRM racing cars and historic formula racing cars from junior series. Even historic racing and sports motorcycles made a guest appearance at the Ring, once again making the historic festival an extremely diverse experience. Reason enough to look forward to next year, especially as the date for the 53rd edition in 2026 has already been set: it will take place from August 7 to 9, 2026. The organizing committee of the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix was satisfied with the outcome of the event. Head of organization Wolfgang Schulz: "This year's BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix offered thrilling racing with old and new highlights. With the help of the participating racing series and our partners, we were able to offer a race weekend that provided many real treats for experts in historic motorsport, while also giving fans who wanted to relive the automotive and human heroes of yesteryear their money's worth. A big thank you therefore goes to all the participants who put their fantastic vehicles to work here, our many helpers, both full-time and voluntary, and of course our partners, who enriched the weekend with their great offers." Classic cars took center stageThis year's race program was even more diverse than ever before and left nothing to be desired. The Golden Era Touring Cars featured prominent drivers such as Kris Nissen, Roland Asch, Kurt Thiim, Volker Strycek, Altfrid Heger, and many more, who competed for the top spots in their legendary BMW, Opel, and Mercedes cars. A special highlight was the race for two-seater sports cars and GTs up to 1971 on Saturday evening. At the start: Porsche 904 GTS, Mercedes 300 SL, Aston Martin DB4 GT, Ferrari 250 GT SWB, and many other iconic racing cars, which brought real Le Mans flair to the track at dusk.The starting grids were almost fully booked, with points up for grabs for the German Historic Car Championship (DAHM): HC '65 and HC '81 offered thrilling, action-packed racing with an extremely diverse range of touring cars, GTs, and sports cars. A major highlight was the Formula 1 return of the Masters Racing Legends: the original Formula 1 cars from the Cosworth era (1966–1985) created a spine-tingling atmosphere with their 3-liter V8 sound—an emotional look back at the former glory days of Grand Prix racing. New to the program: the revival of the Super Touring Cars, the Golden Era Classic Cup with former Porsche Cup cars, and demo laps by historic motorcycles from the “Grab the Flag!” initiative, which added a multifaceted dimension to the event. OGP partners enriched the eventThe Classicbid auction on Saturday morning was also a great success, marking the return of a classic car auction to the OGP after a long hiatus. It was well attended and a magnet for collectors and enthusiasts. The premiere of the new video podcast “BELMOT & friends on the road” was just one of many attractions at the stand of title partner BELMOT. Timing partner Junghans impressed with edition watches designed exclusively for the event. The large Motor Klassik tent was also a particular focus of attention, which was not only busy during the autograph sessions with former DTM stars, but also a central meeting point for many visitors. Editor-in-chief Hans Jörg Götzl commented: "Since our founding 41 years ago here at the Oldtimer Grand Prix, we have been a committed partner of this event. And every year, this weekend inspires us anew with its breadth, which truly offers something for everyone: from spectacular classic motorsport with the Cosworth Formula 1 and large-volume sports cars to excellently cast races such as the evening race and the popular touring car classes, where seemingly every spectator can find a car they know and like."
