About Nürburgring Nordschleife BTG

11.87-mile Bridge to Gantry stretch. Touristenfahrten forbid timekeeping

  • 11.87 mi
  • Opened 1927
  • Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate
  • Nordschleife BTG (Bridge to Gantry)
  • Multiple configurations

Nürburgring Nordschleife BTG is the Bridge to Gantry configuration of the Nordschleife at the Nürburgring in Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate. At about 11.87 miles it describes the tourist-session stretch of the northern loop, rather than a full closed-event Nordschleife start/finish.

Official Nürburgring driving regulations forbid any timekeeping during Touristenfahrten, including so-called BTG lap times. Every timing device must be switched off before you start, including a coach or passenger phone. Hidden timers and post-stop reveals do not clear the rule while the device is logging on track.

Use this page for layout context only. Save phone GPS, RaceBox, and right-seat coach logging for closed GP or Nordschleife events where organizers allow timing. Official TF rules also restrict training formats without Nürburgring approval.

Notable features

  • Bridge to Gantry: The tourist stretch of the Nordschleife, not a timing invitation on TF.
  • No TF timekeeping: Official rules forbid any lap timing on Touristenfahrten, including BTG times.
  • Coach phones count: A passenger-seat timer is still a timekeeping device under the published rule.
  • About 11.87 miles: Shorter than the full Nordschleife catalog layout.
  • LapsHub: Coach logging belongs on closed events that allow timing, not on public Touristenfahrten.

No timekeeping on public tourist rides

Official Nürburgring driving regulations forbid any timekeeping during Touristenfahrten, including Bridge to Gantry (BTG) times. That covers the driver’s phone and a coach or passenger phone: every timing device must be switched off before you start. LapsHub coaching with an active lap timer belongs on closed events that allow timing, not on public TF.

  • Respect the Fahrordnung: no lap timing for anyone in the car, no racing, German road rules (StVO) apply on TF
  • Coach timing elsewhere: right-seat logging with the timer on is for closed sessions that allow it, not Touristenfahrten
  • After you park: use map notes and debrief tools without a TF lap timer running on track

Nürburgring Nordschleife BTG lap timing FAQ

Can I time Touristenfahrten with LapsHub?

No. Official rules forbid any timekeeping on Touristenfahrten, including BTG times.

Is LapsHub free for other Ring sessions?

Yes. Download free for closed GP or Nordschleife events where organizers allow timing.

Touristenfahrten are for learning, not the board

Official rules forbid timekeeping on public tourist rides for the driver and for a coach or passenger. Leave every timing device off on TF. Use coach logging and lap timing on closed Nordschleife or GP sessions where timing is allowed.
