FAQ
Arrive & drive — your questions
How much does an arrive & drive seat on the Nürburgring cost?
Rates are on request: they depend on the series (RCN, NLS or the 24h), the car, the number of races and your package. Plan a meeting and we'll build a proposal around your goal.
Can I race the Nürburgring without my own team?
Yes — that's exactly what our arrive & drive formula is for. We arrange the entry, tyres, fuel, insurance, crew and logistics. You step into a race-ready BMW M240i Racing or Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport and focus only on driving.
Which series can I race with VDS Motorsport?
The NLS (Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie) is the heart of our programme, RCN clubsport is the ideal way in, and the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring is available on request.
I'm new to the Nordschleife — where do I start?
RCN clubsport is the perfect entry: around 15 laps per race, solo or as a shared seat, with the same race engineer, crew and hospitality. From there we build towards the NLS.
Which car will I be driving?
One of our two race cars: the BMW M240i Racing (330 hp, built by BMW Motorsport, with airjacks, GPS, radio and drink system) or the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport (425 hp, mid-engine, from Porsche Motorsport). Both are prepared and maintained with our operating partner Up2Race.
Do I share the car with other drivers?
In the NLS you drive a stint of around 275 km and share the car with other drivers. In RCN you drive solo or share a seat — whatever fits your plan and budget.
