A Course of Public Country Roads — Since 1923
The Schleizer Dreieck is not a classic circuit race like the Nürburgring or Hockenheim, but a natural road course: Three public country roads in southern Thuringia are closed off for the race weekend and secured with hay bales, barriers, and tire stacks. The first race took place in 1923 — making the Schleizer Dreieck one of the oldest and most traditional race tracks in Germany. For over 100 years, riders, teams, and spectators have gathered in the Saale-Orla district in the state of Thuringia for a mix of motorsport, camping, and a Volksfest (popular festival).
2026 — A Transitional Year After IDM Departure
The 91st edition in 2026 marks a turning point. Both the International German Motorcycle Championship (IDM) and the International Road Racing Championship (IRRC) will no longer be part of the Schleiz weekend in 2026. Instead, MSC Schleizer Dreieck e.V. is focusing on a diverse mix of modern classes and classic motorcycles. The organizers openly speak of a "season in transition" and are simultaneously working on a future concept for the coming years.
Two Weekends, One Course
The Schleizer Dreieck will host events on several weekends in 2026: the main race from June 12 to 14, the VFV Klassik Grand Prix from July 3 to 5, and the Schleizer Dreieck Jedermann (road cycling event) on June 20 to 21. Between Easter and October 3, the "motorwelt Schleizer Dreieck" — an exhibition on the history of the course — will also be open on weekends and public holidays.
Schleiz and the Saale-Orla Region
The town of Schleiz, once the residence of the Principality of Reuss-Schleiz, is located in the southern Thuringian Saale-Orla district near the state border with Bavaria. The race is an important tourist event for the region: camping in the paddock, hotels in Schleiz, Pößneck, and Saalburg, and gastronomy around the course. Lovers of classics, motorcycle fans, and families will find a weekend here that is more of a Volksfest than pure motorsport.
Schleizer Dreieck — edition 2026
Season in Transition — The 91st Edition
With the withdrawal of the IDM and the cancellation of the IRRC round, MSC Schleizer Dreieck e.V. is using 2026 for a fresh start. The organizers have deliberately broadened the program: modern twin classes, the Historical Racing Cup (HR-Cup), sidecars, and classic motorcycles share the weekend. The goal is attractive racing for the loyal Schleiz fan base and, at the same time, a platform for the further development of the race track in the coming years.
The paddock opens on the Thursday before the race weekend. The Schleizer Dreieck is not just a race track, but also a festival site: between training sessions and races, thousands of spectators spend the weekend camping, around campfires, and enjoying bratwurst in the paddock.
