Nemunas Ring (Nemuno žiedas) — a guide in English

Nemunas Ring (in Lithuanian Nemuno žiedas, also written without diacritics as “Nemuno ziedas”) is the racing circuit in Kačerginė, just outside Kaunas, Lithuania. This is an independent, unofficial guide — a quick English overview for visitors; the rest of the site is in Lithuanian.

What is Nemunas Ring?

It is one of the oldest permanent motorsport circuits in Lithuania, hosting car and motorcycle racing, sprints, slaloms, drift events and open track sessions. The first races near Kačerginė were held around 1960, and the track has been rebuilt several times since. Reported track length varies by configuration — see the track information page for details.

What you can do here

• Events — races, championships and shows. Current list: renginiai; planned times: tvarkaraštis (schedule).
• Track day — drive your own car on the circuit: track day.
• Drift — drift training and events: drift.
• Karting — kartingai.
• Simulator — the circuit is also recreated in Assetto Corsa.

Most pages are in Lithuanian, but the structure is simple and the key terms (renginiai = events, tvarkaraštis = schedule, kainos = prices) are linked above.

Visiting as a spectator

The circuit is in Kačerginė, a small resort town on the Nemunas river about 20 km west of Kaunas — easiest to reach by car, roughly a 25-minute drive from the city. Race and drift weekends are the best time to visit as a spectator. Ticketing, opening times and spectator areas are decided by each event's organiser, so always check the organiser's announcement before travelling. Our schedule lists the confirmed dates we have verified, and the spectator page (in Lithuanian) covers parking and practical tips.

Driving the track as a foreign visitor

You cannot simply show up and drive: the track is an operating motorsport facility, and all driving is arranged through the operator or event organisers. The two usual routes are a track day (open lapping sessions in your own or a rented car, run by independent organisers on published dates) and instructor-led driving experiences in prepared sports cars offered by local organisers. Requirements, prices, helmet and car rules are set by each organiser — contact them directly to book, and check the track occupancy calendar to see which days are free.
