Reisbrennen 2025 – AF Goes Full JDM at the ’Ring

If you know, you know. Reisbrennen isn’t just Europe’s biggest Japanese car festival—it’s a straight-up pilgrimage. Every August, the Nürburgring transforms into a haven for JDM culture, and this year we rolled in with our German crew—Benny and Pascal— to represent Auto Finesse in the heart of it.

Our Pit Box, Our Home

The Reisbrennen organisers hooked us up proper with a full pit box on the Nürburgring paddock. And you already know we weren’t going to waste the opportunity—we filled it wall-to-wall with JDM gems.

• Icons from the golden era of ’90s Japan.
• Builds repping the modern stance and drift scene.
• AF detailing gear and lifestyle drops sprinkled between the cars. It wasn’t just a booth—it was a hangout. A spot for people to come through, talk cars, grab merch, and connect with the AF vibe in the middle of the madness.

The Show

Reisbrennen isn’t like anything else. It’s not just a car show—it’s track days, drift demos, drag runs, burnout boxes, night meets, and a festival vibe rolled into one. Walking the paddock is a who’s who of Japanese performance: Skylines, Supras, RX-7s, Silvias, Evos, and everything in between. The sound of RBs and rotaries echoing off the Eifel hills? Goosebumps every time.

And when the sun dips, the energy doesn’t fade—it just shifts. BBQ smoke, music, and headlights cutting the night while cars keep rolling in.

Why Reisbrennen Matters

For the German AF crew, Reisbrennen is more than an event—it’s a statement. It’s where Europe’s JDM family comes together, and where we get to show we’re part of that heartbeat. Benny and Pascal repped hard, holding it down for Auto Finesse Germany, connecting with everyone from die-hard drift fans to purists who’ve spent years building their dream JDM machines.

This is exactly why we do what we do—to be in the middle of it, supporting the culture, backing the community, and keeping the passion alive.

Sign-Off

Reisbrennen 2025 was a weekend of noise, smoke, and soul. From our pit box base camp to the madness on track, it was everything that makes JDM culture untouchable. Big respect to the organisers for letting us carve out our corner of the Nürburgring, and to everyone who came through to check out the cars, chat, and vibe with us.

See you next year—same time, same place, more madness.
