## Automobile races[edit]

### Grand Prix racing[edit]

Races with Grand Prix cars have been held at the Nürburgring since its inauguration in 1927. Besides the German Grand Prix, also Eifelrennen races were held with GP cars. With the German Grand Prix being almost exclusively held at Hockenheimring from 1977 to 2008, additional Formula One races in Germany were called either European Grand Prix or Luxembourg Grand Prix. In 2020, a new Eifel Grand Prix was held at the venue as part of a re-arrangement of the season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
