General information
The
Nürburgring, host of the European
Grand Prix, is one of the most famous racetracks
in the world. The "Nordschleife"
- over 22 km(!) is still open for test drives
with your own car. The main part of the
Formula 1 circuit was constructed in 1984.
Most of the fixed stands and facilities
date from the eighties and lack comfort.
A large part of the grandstands are concrete
terraces. Buying a seat cushion is no luxury.
The stands around the start finish area
and the temporary stands offer bucket seats
and are reasonably comfortable. Restrooms
are clean and there are concession stands
at every stand.
Viewing quality
At almost all parts of the track there are
grandstands at the Ring. This means a wide
choice of locations. The stands are divided
into categories Gold, Silver, Bronze and
Green. The quality of the seating arrangement
paired with the location determine the quality.
All Gold stands are located at the start
finish and the first corner. They offer
a very good view of the action especially
the T4 and the T4a (Mercedes). Silver stands
(or sections of a stand) are usually in
the corners or the higher rows of a grandstand.
Stands T13 and T8 are very good as are the
T3a and T3b which used to be Gold stands.
Bronze stands are less expensive, but can
still offer a very decent view. The T10a
and T10b, as well as the T8 and T5b are
very popular stands. There are also standing
sections, T12 and T14. The quality is ok,
but it is recommended to upgrade to Bronze
because this increases the viewing quality
significantly. All sections offer a TV screen
although they may be further away for some
of the Bronze stands.
Prices
Over the last couple of years the
Nürburging has made the tickets
for the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe more
affordable. As stated before some stands
were downgraded (only the price) from Gold
to Silver. Gold tickets are expensive at
400-530 Euros. Especially the Mercedes Stand
T4a does offer a fantastic view of the redesigned
section after the first corner. The top
Silver stands (Silver 1) are very affordable
at around 300 Euro. Bronze sections at 160-220
Euro offer a very good quality for that
price. There is a special family ticket
offer for the Bronze 1 T10a stand. For every
adult one child enters for free. These sections
usually sell out first. For the people on
a budget the Green sections are an interesting
option at around 100 Euro.
Best Deal
The best deal on F1
tickets for the European Grand Prix
is the Silver 2 T3b stand. Located at the
end of the start-finish straight it offers
a view of the starting grid and pit lane
exit as well as the first corner and part
of the Mercedes Arena. This ticket offer
the best value for money at the Nurburgring.
