The Ring
Hi all, since I’m doing ED for my 3rs on Apr 30, I’m looking at doing the Scuderia-s7 track days on May 2-3 and wondering if anyone has experience with them. This will be my only chance of driving the ring in my car. I really do not want to crack up and wreck my new car so figuring this is safest and come close to 60-70% of its potential. I have no experience at ring and just recently did the PTX performance class at Barber. It was a blast and only regret that I don’t have time to take masters class before the Euro trip, but definitely going after I get back.

They offer one of the best ways to learn the ring (along with S Hanseat). OP you won't regret it, just drive at the pace you're comfortable with first (think one way country road) and take your time to learn the track. Breaking it up into sectionals really helps too and driving backwards is a oretty unique experience.

"Driving" it on an X-box or similar beforehand helps significantly.

I played Gran Turismo on PS3 every night for a month to learn the 'ring before I went. Yes it really helped with the turns. But the change in elevation blew my mind!
Also, no matter what you're driving, you'll never be the fastest.
Highly recommend you stop in Sabine's restaurant for the steak on a hot rock. Have fun! http://www.am-tiergarten.de/en/rooms-nuerburgring
