Spring Course 2026 Completed

Next Up: HIPWIR, 30 Aug – 2 Sept


Our Spring course - Four fantastic days, 160 drivers from 17 countries, countless smiles and significant driver development. While the 134th edition of Scuderia Hanseat is now in the books, the journey continues.


For experienced Nordschleife drivers looking to further refine their understanding, consistency and pace, the next opportunity awaits at our Scuderia Hanseat HIPWIR Edition, 30 August – 2 September 2026.

What a week we shared together at the Nürburgring.

From 25–28 May, drivers and co-drivers from across Europe, North America, Middle East and Asia gathered for four days of learning, driving and friendship. Through section training, individual coaching and open pitlane driving, participants explored the Nordschleife in a way that goes beyond simply driving laps.


A big thanks goes to all 160 drivers, 25 co-drivers, 26 instructors, 10 group coaches, 8 crew members and 3 photographers who made the 134th edition of Scuderia Hanseat such a memorable experience. It is the people who create the atmosphere, and together you once again demonstrated the unique spirit that has defined Scuderia Hanseat since 1958.
