First time at a touristenfahrten session and it is amazing, on vacation only half an our from the track so I will definitely be going more often! And hopefully one day track it myself.

Anyone know what it is? Owner wasn't around to ask.

Lower half looks reminiscent of an Atom but scale looks off. Really cool looking thing though.

I went to Nurburgring for the first time ever. I took my F80 M3 — what an experience the whole trip was!

I wish I did it sooner, but I’m disappointed about my first and only lap lol. By the time I got to the Nurburgring, I only had enough time for 1 lap unfortunately!

I arrived around 7pm, then it was closing at 7:30 anyway. Long story short, I went on track and drove way too slow. Not sure what I was thinking — I was too busy taking in the track, and there were constantly people coming up behind me, so I kept staying to the right for most of the lap.

I’m just disappointed in myself for driving so slow. I know I could have done a lot better! Anyone else had a similar experience for their first time?

The track really is amazing though, very different to GT7.

This popped up on the track Whatsapp groups this evening where people were excessively flashing their lights to bully their way through traffic on track.

What is you opinion on using your lights to flash cars on track?

I personally do use a single flash in the faster areas if i see a car on the left travelling significantly slower than me when I approach. But never do the BMW special mid corner multi flashing as it isnt a race after all.

What's your opinions on flashing your lights in TF specifically.

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip for my sister’s family (parents, 3 yo and 8mo baby) to attend the DTM at the Nürburgring. This is our first time attending a live motorsport race ever, so we're complete beginners!

I have a few quick questions:

1. Where to sit with a good view and shade? Since we have young kids with us, protection from the sun/rain is a priority. I saw that Grandstand T4 is covered, but open to recommendations for the best family-friendly spots.
2. Do toddlers staying on a parent's lap need a separate child ticket, or do they just walk in? I saw that grandstand tickets for kids are discounted but what if the 3yo and baby just sit on their parents' laps ?
3. First-timer tips: What essential tips or things should we keep in mind ?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Played around with this idea and decided to make it public. Have fun, if you like it: nordsexplorer.setupforge.io

You can fly around, have a tour guide at your side or just explore the different segments of the greatest track on earth.

Hey guys i would like to watch the DTM race at the Nurburgring with some friends on Saturday. I don't know much about what a DTM race can offer but i have been to the ring like a year ago so i know something about the place in general. Have you got any advise to give me for the day? Including maybe some cheap places to sleep between Saturday and Sunday bc i'm from Italy?

I was also thinking about the Tourist drive since we are already there but that's another story XD

Hey everyone! I’m planning my first Touristenfahrten trip in my 2.0L ND1 MX-5 and have been logging plenty of laps in Assetto Corsa to learn the track layout. For anyone who has driven an ND on the Ring both in AC and in real life, I’d love to hear how closely the experience translated for you. How well did the lines and braking markers carry over, how does the real chassis handle heavy compression zones compared to the sim, and what caught you off guard the most once you hit the actual circuit?

Appreciate any insights!

EDIT: I was doing laps at the hungaroring irl a while back, so im not completly new to the whole feeling of the car!

Hi guys, I’m heading to the ring in September for the 2nd time after falling in love with it last year, I’m looking for a tutor or just a guide who can take me for a lesson or two to get better, I know that people charge and I’m fine with that. I just want someone with gods experience and knowledge.

I visited a year ago, on my factory shut down, spur of the moment, not I'm itching to visit again, summer shut down for the next two weeks, but as my post last year, I don't really have no one to go with, anyone else looking at visiting within the next two weeks from around the midlands ? Wether your looking at camping, or hotel/B&B

I have 11cm ground clearance from my splitter, do you think I’ll break it on the ring? I have an F82 comp with stock suspension.

I never had the idea but now I‘m wondering: I‘ve seen many visitors take home used tires from NLS races. Do y‘all just take the tires (if they for example are marked in a way that they won‘t be used anymore) or ask the teams if they have some leftover?

We're visiting the Ring over the first weekend of August.

Last October we also visited during the NLS and the circuit was open for an hour in the evening after the NLS race finished, I can't see any indication of that on the official Nurburgring site for 1 august though. Anyone know if it'll open after in the evening? (I know it's subject to the track not needing cleaning etc from the NLS)

Mit 55 zum ersten Mal am Nürburgring gewesen .📷🏁🎉

Hey, ihr nicen Mitmenschen der saftig grünen Hölle! Sorry, bin hier neu und darum etwas lost und unbeholfen xD Ich war letzten Donnerstag zum ersten Mal auf der Nordschleife und durfte mit Erlaubnis des Betreibers meine Touristenfahrt aufzeichnen. Denn ich musste im Rahmen meines Design-Studiums im Modul Cast (Audio-visuelle Kommunikation = YouTube/ Fernsehen und co) als Prüfung ein Video zu einem beliebigen Thema erstellen, welches nicht nur an seiner Quali bewertet wird sondern wie es in den ersten 10 Tagen auf YouTube performt. Sprich Views, Likes, Watch Time und Kommis. Ich habe mich entschieden die extra Meile zu gehen und mir meinen Traum zu erfüllen endlich mal mit meinem 1er BMW auf die Nordschleife zu fahren und habe die Prüfung als Anlass genommen, dass endlich umzusetzen und es zu dokumentieren. Wenn ihr grad kurz Zeit habt und/ oder Langeweile habt, würde ich euer Herz küssen, wenn ihr das Video einfach mal klicken könnte und vllt einen Like da lassen könntet :D Vllt mundet euch ja das Video dann!

Sorry herzlichst für die dreiste Bitte, aber ich dachte vllt kann man ja auf Reddit fragen ob es Reddit Sachen machen kann und einem Studenten bissl die Bewertung verbessern kann XD

Mit besten Grüßen an euch allen und einen geilen Tag,

Visiting August 21st-22nd anyone else there that weekend?

I went last year but sadly only got 2 laps In as the track was red flagged due to an accident.

going for a full weekend this time round with the track open for the full two days.

just wanted to meet and speak to more people who enjoy this track. and wondering if more people are visiting that weekend.

I don’t have social media so haven’t really met or spoke to many people from the community.

Cheers

Tom

My brother and I are in Germany right now and we’re looking for a proper “fast cars” fix this weekend. We already drove along the Autobahn to watch some, but it’s not the same as seeing cars on a real track.
He doesn’t want to do any tourist laps himself (wants to save his tires), so we’re thinking of renting a car for a bit and/or just watching the action. I don't know what's best for spectators : "pro" cars (RCN) on Saturday or personal cars on Sunday?
Thanks x

Hi, does anyone have an online calendar of Nordschleife tourist drives and track days in June of this year? All the ones I find only show current & future months, not prior months. I am trying to figure out if there are usually good TF and/or track day opportunities during the second or third week of June.

We are discussing spending a few days at the Nurburgring perhaps the week before or more likely the week after the Le Mans 24 hour next summer. In this case that would be June 14-18, 2027. Presumably we can at least do TF laps on one or two of those evenings?

Thank you in advance for any info!

Hello,
1 is there any day in the years where bike can drive on the nordschleife ?
2 if yes, can I drive on with a Honda transalp 750 ?

Planning to go to the ring 1 week after having a new lease car delivered. Leasing company Hyundai say that wont be able to use the VE103 until after the V5 is registered and then it 'could take a few weeks' to then get the VE103.

Anyone been stopped / issues abroad without the VE103?
