Though this is somewhat off-topic, I am trying to find out if anyone has had the opportunity to drive (or be driven) around the Nurburgring in Germany. My wife and I may be able to take a trip to Germany in September, and besides doing some car museums, Oktoberfest, and visiting castles, driving or riding around the Nurburgring has always been on my "bucketlist". I know that driving a rental car on the Ring is a very bad idea, but has anyone been there or has any advice they could offer me. Buying a new, European delivery Porsche to drive in Europe is not an option (unless the lottery ticket is the right one - not very likely). The BMW Ring-Taxi doesn't have any tickets or dates available until April, so I can't really count on that as an option.
Thanks for any advice. |

From my understanding of the rental car contracts over there, if you get spotted in your rental car on the Ring, it's a 2000 Euro upcharge on your rental fee, and the rental car companies supposedly do have people watching. I guess they learned from Hertz with the Ford GT350H program. Not a good idea to rent a racer over the weekend (it only got driven a 1/4 mile at a time, honest!). Otherwise, that would be the ideal solution.
Does our German contingent have any experience? |
