This weekend marks the sixth of seven Euro Moto weekends and the penultimate round of the 2026 season. In the Superbike class, the championship could be decided as early as Sunday. There’s plenty going on in the supporting programme too, with the Bagger European League making its debut in Germany.
A rare opportunity
Euro Moto is the only motorcycling event on this year’s Nürburgring calendar. According to the circuit operator, the event is intended as a family-friendly motorsport festival: children and young people up to and including the age of 14 enjoy free entry, whilst day tickets for adults are available from as little as 5.00 euros (Friday) or 25.00 euros (Saturday). A weekend ticket costs 45.00 euros. Anyone who still wants more action will find it in the immediate vicinity. At the same time as Euro Moto, tyres will once again be smoking in the Müllenbachschleife. At the Nürburgring Drift Cup, Europe’s elite will face off in the next round of the championship. Following free practice on Friday and qualifying on Saturday, the weekend culminates on Sunday with the spectacular Twin Battles. Two drift cars, each delivering up to 1,000 PS, will race side by side through the lowest section of the Grand Prix circuit, promising thrilling, millimetre-precise manoeuvres at high speeds. Day tickets are available for 25.00 euros, whilst a weekend ticket costs 40.00 euros.
