Legendary, world-famous, 22 kilometres long and either loved or feared – mostly both: The Nürburgring Nordschleife is still seen as the toughest racetrack in the world and has a magnetic attraction for motorsports fans and high-performance enthusiasts. So it’s understandable that many amateur racers and novices would love to experience the “Green Hell” behind the wheel. Besides a suitable vehicle and sufficient racing experience, anyone wanting to race here needs one thing: a DMSB Permit Nordschleife – also known as DPN for short. The Deutscher Motor Sport Bund (DMSB) licence is a requirement for most of the races on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. These include the Nürburgring Endurance Series, the ADAC qualifying race for the 24h race, the ADAC 24 Hours and other events. Here we explain how to obtain the racing licence.
WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE DPN?
Fewer crashes, less frustration, more racing: Safety is the ultimate goal of the DMSB Permit Nordschleife. In order to raise safety standards on the Eifel racetrack, thanks to the DPN above all Nordschleife newcomers are more intensively trained and better prepared for the particular circumstances of the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

HOW DO YOU APPLY FOR THE DPN?
The DPN can be applied for on mein.dmsb.de. After registration, you can take the e-learning course that has to be completed successfully within three attempts. This is a prerequisite for participation in one of the DPN training courses, one of which then offers the possibility to acquire a DMSB Permit Nordschleife Level B.
