OUR THREE DRIVER TRAINING COURSES

At Scuderia Hanseat, you don’t just drive the Nordschleife — you learn to understand and respect it.


You’ll take part in a safe, structured journey that helps you develop step by step, guided by experienced instructors and surrounded by drivers who share your passion. From the curious Explorers to the experienced Committed drivers, you’ll progress with us in a professional yet personal and relaxed setting— built on camaraderie, safety, and the highest standards of driving quality— always with deep respect for the Nordschleife and its unique spirit.


No matter where you begin, our three courses form a connected journey, each serving as a natural entry point depending on your experience and skill level.

Regardless of which course you join, you will always be met by your dedicated Instructor and group Coach focusing on your individual progress based on your driver skill and ambition level.

      DRIVER PROFILE


      Our Spring course is the best way to get introduced to the Nordschleife and is great for the  Explorers, the Nordschleife 1st timers, discovering the track for the first time.


      It is also the course that always has been preferred by the Enthusiasts, the classic Sportfahrer, who enjoy its flow and friendship.


      However, our Spring course can also be great for drivers that already have good understanding of the Nordschleife  and solid pace, especially if you like to join a group of friends with mixed experiences - enjoying the great camaraderie.
