Vintage Meeting | 13 - 15 June. | Casual get-together of pre-war drivers
The pre-war vehicles will be coming to the Ring for the 15th time in 2025 for the big: Vintage Meeting. The meeting is the largest and most international of its kind in the historic paddock, the original location of the race track from 1927, where the paddock of the Prewars can be found from 13 to 15 June 2025 in the oldest surviving part of the race track.
This is where the big Mercedes, nimble Bugattis, Alfa Romeos and MGs were parked in the early years of the Eifel circuit. The racing cars of the period from 1920 to before the Second World War were prepared here for racing on the impressive Eifel circuit with its long straight, the legendary south hairpin bend and south loop, then the back straight and north loop. This is where the many pre-war marques and historic racing cars return. The meeting always fills the paddock in the Nürburgring Classic in the most authentic way.
It is always a highly regarded event for pre-war vehicles on the Eifel circuit.
Meeting in the historic paddock
The 1920 to 1940 model years are permitted - and the 1941 to 1953 model years (especially the Healey Silverstones, the Veritas, Borgwards, Frazer Nash and Allards as well as early Jaguars, HWM etc.) are also very welcome.
As many of the old paddock garages as are possible in today's Nürburgring operations will be used. The paddock will be transformed into a journey through time. The atmosphere from the inaugural race on 18 June 1927 can be felt right here in the old pit area. It is reminiscent of the time when Rudolf Caracciola was the first winner to cross the finish line in his Mercedes 680S.
The Vintage Meeting takes place at the same time as the Nürburgring Classic. However, participation in the Vintage Meeting with a pre-war car is officially and booking-wise considered independent of the supporting programme and the event parts of the Nürburgring Classic (which is mainly held in the Grand Prix paddock).
Rides on the race tracks and a hunting trip
Rides for the pre-war drivers at the meeting are traditionally planned on the Nordschleife, the Grand Prix circuit, some picturesque parts of the Südschleife (for photo shoots) and with a "hunting trip" as a rally through the Eifel. The big "get-together" of car owners, the meeting with friends, joint petrol talks and finally familiar sociability again create a special community. The well-known "Kesselchen" usually reopens during the vintage meeting as a meeting point for the active participants of the pre-war teams.
The group of participants is called the "Classic Drivers Club" and is an informal group of like-minded people to whom everyone is welcome.
