Directions to the Nürburgring

The Nürburgring is located approximately 90 kilometers southwest of Cologne and approximately 60 kilometers northwest of Koblenz directly at the B258.

Traffic management system

A traffic guidance system will be installed around the Nürburgring. Parking spaces for all participants who do not participate in the 24-hour race are located in Parkzone B and are signposted. The 24-hour participants follow the color coding system. There are two access zones:

1. red and yellow; lots in the Grand Prix paddock and pit area
2. blue and green: lots along the Grand Prix circuit

The color of your entry zone is documented by the color of your entry tickets. On the grounds, the differentiation into e.g. light blue and dark blue will be made and become relevant. You will be instructed accordingly by staff. See also the entrance map.
