1927 German Eifel race programme for motorcars and bikes – First ever races held at the Nurburgring

The Nürburgring track in Germany was completed in spring of 1927. The first ever races at the circuit took place over the weekend of the 18th/19th June 1927 and featured motorcycles and sidecars on the Saturday and motorcars on the Sunday. The motorcycle race was won by Toni Ulmen on an English 350 cc Velocette. The car race on the Sunday was won by Rudolf Caracciola in the over 5000 cc class in a Mercedes Benz S. This is the original 90 year old race programme from the event held in 1927 on the opening day of the Nurburgring. It has some superb information and period adverts inside with a wonderful front cover of a painting showing the mountainous Eifel circuit and the image of both a racing car and bike. As the programme is 90 years old it does have the expected aging and damage. The spine is worn and the cover has been taped to the main program. The pages inside are a little rumpled and some are brown with age with a few tears here and there and with a few loose pages and staple rust. However it is in generally very good condition with all pages complete and a real collectors gem. Reference: PROG-GER27EIFEL-01
