German F1 Grand Prix - Sports Events Travel 0845 003 2213

In 2009 it is the turn of the Nurburgring to host the German Grand Prix. It is a fine and traditional circuit with plenty of history. Built in the 1920’s it was originally 14 miles long and incredibly demanding. Now, at just over three miles in length, it is better suited to the high-speed F1 cars of today. You can still drive the old Nordschleife circuit or you can book a hair-raising lap with one of the Ringmeisters!

Our hotel for this event is in Cologne, a beautiful city on the banks of the Rhine. The magnificent spires of the ancient Cathedral dominate the skyline and in the warm July sunshine the squares and market places of the old town will be full of people enjoying their evenings on the terraces of the cafes and restaurants.
