What is the best time to visit the Nürburgring?

Tom Stamp — Mon, 11 Oct 2021 10:30:13 +0000

The track is usually not open for public driving between the end of November and the middle of March. April, May, October and November are what we call the low-season months. The traffic is usually less but we also anticipate the weather not being favourable. That being said, if you are not afraid of a (semi-)wet track, these are the best months to come out. June to September are the high-season months. The area is thriving, restaurant seats or hotel rooms need to be pre-booked and the car park at the entrance of ‘Ring is usually cramped. The experience is completely different, but the Nürburgring is the same, so it’s up to you what you deem important and what your goal is for your trip.

What set-up are you running on the rentals?

Tom Stamp — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 15:50:21 +0000

We run 2 different set-ups on our rental cars: on the entry-level cars we have upgraded “the essentials”, like tires, brakes and sometimes suspension, whereas our higher-tier cars have cages and bucket seats. All of our cars have been bought and built for the Nürburgring. We pride ourselves in offering cars that we would love to drive ourselves. You can also find more specific information about the set-ups here.

Can I take passengers with me, and how much does that cost?

Tom Stamp — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 15:48:10 +0000

Taking passengers with you in your rental car is allowed and at no extra cost. When you rent that car, you rent the vehicle, not the seat. Make sure you inform yourself about the amount of seats your rented car has though. Passengers are required to sign the terms and conditions of the rental contract, and if your passenger is underage, their parent or legal guardian will have to either be there with them (to sign), or provide a declaration of consent. Reach out to us if you need a template.

Where can I find the pictures of me driving on the track?

You may notice many photographers stood around the track wearing purple vests. Their photos are shared on www.racetracker.de. They start uploading pictures at the end of the day’s session, but usually most pictures will be online the next morning!

What happens when it rains, snows, or if there is any fog?

Tom Stamp — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 15:38:16 +0000

The track security assesses the condition of the track by driving a lap on it. If they decide it’s too dangerous to drive, they will close the track, but for that to happen the conditions need to be relatively severe. Fog, and heavy rain or snow might impair vision or the grip on the track. If the track is closed and you have a booking, you will be rescheduled to later that day (if the track opens), or we will give you a credit to reschedule to a later date. Unfortunately, we do not allow you to reschedule if the track conditions are not favored: if the track is open, your booking stands.

Are there any height or weight restrictions?

Tom Stamp — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 15:32:39 +0000

Our rental cars and taxis are all different, and height and weight don’t always completely identify how someone is built. The absolute maximum height is 210 cm, and the absolute maximum weight is 150 kg. If your measurements are between 200 and 210 cm, or between 120 and 150 kg, you will have to come down and try the seat yourself.

What is the weather going to be like this weekend?

Tom Stamp — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 15:26:28 +0000

From experience, we know, that even the best weather apps can sometimes be completely off. It’s also difficult to make any predictions, like “the weather in June” as we’ve seen it all: cold temperature and lots of rain and fog, or a heat wave. The track needs a different approach when it’s wet but is still a lot of fun, so what we recommend is for you to book one of our instructors.

What is the difference between a public session and a track day?

Tom Stamp — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 10:24:24 +0000

The main difference between a track day and a public session is that you essentially commit to a full day of unlimited driving when you book a track day, whereas on a public session you pay per lap. Track day entry fees vary from €600 to €1200 for the full day, and only include the just that. However, when you rent a car or book an instructor with us you will still have to pay per lap, regardless of the event. Track days are organized by private instances and the public sessions are ran by the Nürburgring itself.
