RCN arrive & drive

The Rundstrecken-Challenge Nürburgring is the entry series on the Nordschleife. You drive, we take care of the car, the crew and everything else — from €2,750 per round.

What is the RCN?

The entry series of the Nordschleife

The RCN — Rundstrecken-Challenge Nürburgring — has 8 rounds a year, from March to October. Most rounds are Leistungsprüfungen; the season finale is the 3-hour race "Schwedenkreuz".

It lets you build up plenty of Nordschleife laps in a structured setting — and every Leistungsprüfung brings you closer to your permit.

The Leistungsprüfung explained

Not a classic race — but real Nordschleife mileage

Performance and regularity

A Leistungsprüfung is a performance and regularity run, not a classic race.

Plenty of laps

For example 16 laps of the Nordschleife combined with the short GP track: 389.7 km in total.

Counts towards your permit

With an international D-Circuit licence, 2 RCN Leistungsprüfungen earn you Permit B. With a national licence you first drive 3 RCN rounds.

Finale: Schwedenkreuz

The season ends with the 3-hour race "Schwedenkreuz" — Permit C is sufficient for it.

2027 calendar

8 rounds, from March to October

The RCN runs 8 rounds a year, from March to October. The 2027 calendar will follow: as soon as the organiser publishes it, we plan your rounds together.
