Hockenheim Classics 2025 // Experience three days of motorsport history
- Final of the German Historic Motorcycle Championship (DHM) and other international racing series at the Hockenheimring
- Exciting programme with historic motorbikes, sidecars and classic cars
- Exhibition and presentation runs of special original racing machines from several motorsport eras
The Hockenheim Classics will be held at the Hockenheimring for the 48th time. From 19 to 21 September, the traditional circuit will be all about historic motorsport. More than 750 classic motorbikes, sidecars and automobiles will compete in various classes and turn the race track into a showcase of technical and motorsport history for a weekend.
The Veteranen-Fahrzeug-Verband (VFV), the sporting organiser of the event, will host the final rounds of the German Historic Motorcycle Championship (DHM) as part of the Hockenheim Classics. With around 18 solo classes and 5 sidecar classes, this series is the largest historic motorbike racing format in Germany. Machines built between 1920 and 1994 will be on the starting grid, ensuring a varied and densely populated starting field.
International series also use the event for their season finales: The Swiss FHRM – Friends of Historic Racing Motorcycles will bring vehicles built up to 1984 to Hockenheim as part of the Vintage Swiss Championship. The IHRO – International Historic Racing Organisation will run its final championship races with machines as they were used in Grand Prix races in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The motorbike programme will be rounded off by the IG Königsklasse, which will also be represented with exciting training sessions and races.
In addition to motorbikes, the focus will also be on classic cars. The VFV-GLPpro organises regularity tests in which it is not the speed but the consistency of the lap times that counts.
The Hockenheim Classics combine a racing atmosphere and proximity to the fans: an exhibition of rare original machines built between 1960 and 1995 is accompanied by presentation runs on the track. Between the races, the valuable motorbikes can be seen up close in the special race pits. Former racing greats will bring their machines back to the track and take time to sign autographs. In the paddock, visitors can experience the open, informal atmosphere of the event, talk to riders and visit the large parts market, which spans six pits.
