After much speculation the prices for touristenfahrten (public driving) on the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 2012 have finally been set.

It will be absolutely no surprise that the ticket price has increased. The track remains unnaturally busy most of the year round. To be honest, I'm just surprised they didn't hike them even more than the 8% or so we see below.

From the Nurburgring's official site here:

2012 Touristenfahrten tickets

1 lap: €26
4 laps: €95
25 laps: €490
Jahreskarte (year pass): €1445

As is normal for the Nurburgring, there are some early-bird discounts for those of you wanting to get your 2012 tickets early - the 4 lapper and 25 lapper can be had for €89 and €470 respectively if you buy before 11/11/11. All multiple tickets come with a ringºwerk entry and a 10%-off voucher for the camera hire service. Contain your excitement...

The big news is definitely inbetween the lines: no spending money and no 15 lap ticket. Year by year some of the more interesting multiples of tickets have been withdrawn (the 8-lap ticket last year). It's a shame; as there's no way on God's green earth that a normal person can buy a 25 lap ticket and use them all in a weekend. Not in high season. Even the 15 lap ticket was optimistic on the busy Sundays.

Personally, I think the lack of a 15 lap ticket is the biggest loss and also shows a certain amount of cyncism on behalf of the operators. That's how much money they want from every 'rich boy' in the car park. They just weren't happy with the 15 lap ticket...

The 15 lap ticket was my favourite! Although last time I did 39 of my 40 (15+25 tickets) in the 2 days fitting in 4 laps first & last thing of each day helped.

Won't be getting any more (in total) money out of me, as I'll just do more track days elsewhere. It's bad enough with insurance prices going up, if they'll cover the 'Ring at all, and all the other associated costs going up (petrol, beer, hotels)

At the moment I'd happily see the place go bankrupt - solely so that it can be bought up by someone with a better sense of what the place is about, rather than simply the €€€s. Maybe sell off NeuroDisney or sell it for scrap (well the roller coaster is scrap already).

1445 for a jahreskarte with no spending money? Thats up 200 from last year (1350 including 100 euro drinking credits)?!? That's actually a 16% increase!

Hey guys,

Have you noticed that the official page has just been deactivated?... Was it made public too soon by mistake? Strange...

Well if there is a lot demand, you can raise the praise. I learned that in school. Less cars on the track would not hurt I guess.

The official page is back online...

Ah! If you order before 1/1/2012 a jahreskarte is now 100 euros cheaper (1350).

Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but there's a new 9-lap ticket at €198/£157.
