Last year the Oldtimer Grand Prix celebrated it’s 50th edition and the organisers realized that it was the moment to reshape the future of the event. That was clearly visible this year with the new main sponsor Belmot (a classic car insurance company), which is bringing a lot of motivation and fresh ideas. It all started on a sunny Friday-morning for all participants with the qualification sessions at the Nürburgring Grand-Prix circuit. But there’s also the traditional track day on the Nordschleife for the owners of vintage sports cars to experience the most beautiful race track in the world, free from any competitive pressure. For visitors there’s the possibility to watch all these beautiful cars close to the track free of charge.

A week before the ADAC 24 hours endurance race at the Nordschleife, the sixth edition of the ADAC Nürburgring Classic was held from 24 to 26 May on the legendary Nordschleife and Grand Prix Track. Despite the initially changeable weather, over 800 participants took part in seven different racing series and numerous special races on Saturday and Sunday in partly bright sunshine! During this weekend the long version of the Grand Prix was used including the AMG Arena, Goodyear corner and the Veedol chicane.
