Nürburgring Oldtimer Grand Prix

The Oldtimer Grand Prix doesn’t branch out onto the Nordschleife, but that’s no barrier to its appeal – with a mix of cars including pre-war Grand Prix machines, F1 cars, DTM, touring cars (both Group A and super touring), and sports GTs navigating the Grand Prix circuit, you’ll forget about the Green Hell on the other side of the barriers. The event spans the 7th to 9th of August and ticketing starts at €29 for Friday viewing (including access to all grandstands, and the paddock), €59 on Saturday, €39 on Sunday, or €79 for a ticket that covers all three days. Children and teenagers up to 17 years old go free. Worth making a weekend of it at those prices, we say – local accommodation is easy to find, and the Nordschleife is still open for tourist drives on all three days…
