OT - Nurburgring, Anyone driven it? Options

[GeorgeRud]

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.

I looke into this a year ago and apparently there are places around the ring that rent out cars for the purpose of going on the ring. Some are more prepard than others for track duty and you can rent everything from a Polo to a Laborghini. Cost is high though, a few hundred $ if I recall. But then again they fully expect you to drive it fast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
