Track Info
Norisring (Nuremberg Street Circuit) - Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany
Temporary street circuit around the Dutzendteich and Zeppelinfeld - clockwise - 2.300 km sprint lap with two hairpins, a chicane and amphitheatre-style viewing from the Steintribüne
When was the track built?
Norisring isn’t a permanent venue but a short, fast street loop first laid out in the late 1940s around Nuremberg’s rally grounds and the lakeside Dutzendteich. After early figure-8 and longer variants, organizers fixed the length to 2.300 km in 1972, creating the familiar sprint lap used today. The name “Norisring” came from a 1950 public competition referencing “Noris,” an old poetic name for Nuremberg.
When was its first race?
The circuit’s first race day was 18 May 1947 for motorcycles, with car races following in 1948. Through the 1970s and 1980s, the 200 Miles of Nürnberg brought top prototypes, while in modern times DTM has been the annual headliner.
What’s the circuit like?
- Stop-and-go sprint: Long start/finish into a fast right sweeper, then the tight Grundigkehre hairpin. After the Schöller-S chicane the field blasts to the Dutzendteichkehre hairpin before the dash back to the line. Braking stability and traction decide everything.
- Bumps and cambers: Public-road surface keeps engineers busy with damping and traction control set-ups.
- Benchmark pace: Group C race-lap 0:47.790 and DTM Class 1 0:46.618 frame the historic ceiling, while modern GT3 poles now dive into the 48.4s.
Lap records and benchmarks (by series)
- Group C - race lap: 0:47.790 - Jean-Louis Schlesser, Sauber C9, 1988.
- DTM Class 1 - race lap: 0:46.618 - Nico Müller, Audi RS5 Turbo DTM, 2019.
- Formula 3 - race lap: 0:47.949 - Callum Ilott, 2017.
- GT3 - race lap: 0:49.048 - Nick Cassidy, Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo, 2021. Qualifying record 0:48.467 - Jordan Pepper, 2025.
- LMP3 - race lap: 0:49.097 - Laurents Hörr, Duqueine D-08, 2023.
Why go?
A compact, high-energy city race you can take in almost at a glance. The short lap keeps the pack bunched, pit strategy is visible from the grandstands and the atmosphere around the lake is festival-like for the Norisring weekend. DTM, Prototype Cup Germany and junior formulas ensure wall-to-wall action.
Where’s the best place to watch?
- Steintribüne (main grandstand): Panoramic view of starts, pit stops and photo finishes with multiple corners in sight.
- Grundigkehre hairpin: Biggest stop on the lap and a guaranteed divebomb zone after the high-speed run.
- Dutzendteichkehre hairpin: Heavy braking and switchbacks that set up the sprint back to the line.
Not just one series: headline events at Norisring
DTM: Annual summer classic with GT3s trading paint into both hairpins. 2025 poles dipped to 48.4s.
Prototype Cup Germany: LMP3s set sub-50s laps and add multi-class nuance to the weekend.
Formula 3 European/ADAC history: Alumni include Ilott, Verstappen era contemporaries and more, showcasing how technical the short lap can be.
