Nordschleife open until 15 November. What is left of the Nürburgring season

In its October events bulletin the Nürburgring confirmed that the last scheduled tourist-drive day (Touristenfahrten) of the 2026 season is Sunday 15 November; the Nordschleife gates stay open "until mid-November". For drivers planning an autumn trip, this is the date that decides whether it still makes sense.

Prices unchanged since March

A lap of the Nordschleife costs 35 euros from Friday to Sunday and on public holidays, and 30 euros on weekdays, the same figures the operator quoted when the season opened in February. The season began on 7 March and, according to the December preview, covers more than 170 tourist-drive days, with the end planned for exactly 15 November.

What else happens at the circuit in October

October is the tail of the racing series. The ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie finale ran on 10 October on the Nordschleife (ticket 25 euros), the European TimeAttack Masters and Tuning Masters a day later (20 euros), the ADAC Westfalen Trophy on 16 to 18 October (from 10 euros on Friday), RCN and GLP on 24 October, and on 25 October the Family Day with free entry from 10:00 to 17:00. There are no tourist drives on the Nordschleife on race days, so the event calendar matters to an amateur as much as the price list.

Who this matters to

Anyone planning this year's last run in their own car around the Nordschleife. November days usually mean shorter windows (opening at 8:00, closing around 17:00) and weather that can shut the track without notice. The third quarter brought no change to the tourist-drive rules in the operator's bulletins.

What we are watching
