Suggestions for Nürburgring:
I'll be there March 8-9... what is going on those days? Good to stay at pistonhause or where? I've already done the bmw 128i rental + instructor.. what to do this time maybe?
Thanks

Definitely try to get to Düsseldorf or Berlin to check out Classic Remise (http://www.remise.de). It's amazing.

Look into renting from Apex (www.apex-nuerburg.com) at Nurburgring as well. Robert and Misha are great and very helpful guys, plus a nice selection of cars as well. They do coaching and taxi laps too.
I'll be at the Ring for the Manthey track day on the 24th and might stay for the weekend as well.
Have fun

I plan on going as a first-timer to do a lap on the 'Ring Monday, April 16 in the evening (only date and time available during my ED timeframe) if anyone wants to join in then Soaking up as much info as I can online and from Kobalt which was really helpful.

I did do a lap in my 2017 BMW 520d rental. Nice car but very slow with the small diesel. It was fun to drive on the track but I stayed far right and signaled everyone past me. I only passed one car the whole lap. Haha. So, Id definitely recommend a dedicated rental track car.
My buddy got a ride with Theo Klein (sp?) driving a 2016 GT3 RS and said it was an epic lap. I watched the video he recorded and Theo wasnt leaving a whole lot on the table. Im definitely buying a lap with him for a lap when I go back.

Afternoon of the 8th I guess since Nürburgring is not open I'll be driving south.. maybe the Romantic Road? Now that I realized no Ring possibility I need to re-evaluate how to use dates between 8-12th with Geneva show.

I already emailed Manthey about their track day on the 24th. I'm waiting to see cost + car rental options. It will be expensive but once in a lifetime thing.
