Formula 1 returns to the Nordschleife thanks to Red Bull!

The Grand Prix of Formula 1 have abandoned the terrible Nordschleife circuit (Germany) since Niki Lauda's accident (Ferrari) in 1976, but the Eifel forest will once again roar to the sound of F1 engines thanks to Red Bull.

The Austrian energy drink will indeed allow single-seaters to stretch their legs in the northern loop of the Nürburgring thanks to a unique event, the Red Bull Formula Nürburgring, on September 9 and 10, 2023. Young drivers and legends “several categories of motor sports from the world of Red Bull” ahead of the Nürburgring 12 Hour race, an event counting towards the Nürburgring championship Endurance Series (NLS).

A ticket office is open : it is possible to buy a place from 39 euros (stands, paddock and fan zone included). More details will be communicated later.

The announcement does not specify what type of single-seaters will be there, but it is a safe bet that it will be pre-1 F2014, before the adoption of the V6 turbo hybrid regulations. Red Bull still uses its F1 cars equipped with naturally aspirated V8s Renault for its demonstrations, the mechanics being less sophisticated than hybrid blocks and easier to maintain over the years, the latest being the tour of Mount Panorama in Bathurst with Liam Lawson.

This new event recalls BMW's exemplary marketing operation on April 28, 2007. The Bavarian manufacturer sent Nick Heidfeld and a 1.06 F2006 for a tour of the Green Hell!

“We implored him to be careful, recalled Mario Theissen, Director of BMW Motorsport. This run took place during a day of festivities to pay tribute to the fans and to this unique circuit in the world. For once, the times took second place. »

The German F1 had been raised by 4 cm on the front axle and 8 cm at the rear to avoid tailgating on the numerous compressions of the 20,6 km track. Of course, “Quick Nick” didn't do anything stupid and rode with his hand, in 8'46'' all the same.

Passionate about the history of motorsport across all disciplines, I learned to read thanks to AUTOhebdo. At least that's what my parents tell everyone when they see my name inside!
