BAR-TEK® on Tour
BAR-TEK® is coming to NitrOlympX 2026!
NitrOlympX 2026: We are in!
Not even 1000 horsepower can stop us from the annual NitrOlympX: the fastest cars in the world, shaking asphalt, and a sound that lingers with you for days after the event - NitrO is the largest drag racing event outside the USA!
This year as well we are back with a bunch of horsepower and plenty of extras that we do not want to withhold from you. Here you will find all the important information about the event, and we have also collected a few highlights from previous years. Visit us!
Visit BAR-TEK® at NitrO 2026!
Why do we absolutely have to go to NitrO?
There’s a good reason why we are one of the biggest sponsors of NitrO: NitrOlympX is the third largest dragster event in the world and the largest of its kind outside the USA. Every year, tens of thousands of visitors flock to the Hockenheimring to see the drag racing elite live. Taking part are hundreds of female and male drivers from 20 racing classes, a huge program with night show, access to the paddock, US car meet, vehicles with 20,000 hp – and of course us! On the start strip named after us, BAR-TEK® Lane, you can experience one highlight after another during the NitrO weekend. You’ll find our pit right at the very beginning, by the way.
Hundreds of international teams compete against each other at the NitrOlympX, with the fastest vehicles in the Top Fuel class reaching an incredible 500 km/h in just a few seconds. 20,000 hp roar, spit fire and leave a trail of smoke and enthusiasm for motorsport behind them. We are also among the lucky ones who have qualified for a race at the NitrO: with “somewhat” less than 20,000 hp, our Audi RS3 competes.
What we are bringing this year
This year we’re at the start with two of our most popular tuning projects: the VW Golf 8R and the green Audi RS3 8Y, which we’ll also be driving. Be sure to take a look at both pages so you know what you can look forward to.
