Default Just finished 8 laps of Nurburgring...

WOW, that's all I can say! I just got back from a half day tracking in Nurburgring, it was just incredible, scariest track I've been to, with sooooo many twists and turns and just too much fun!

I rented a car from rent4ring and had a passenger from the rental place guide me through the track. It was absolutely necessary, unless someone practices the track on a video game for weeks! There's one blind left turn that if you don't know it's coming, can totally cause a crash!

Our session was cut short since a motor cyclist crashed and got hurt, we wait for almost 2 hrs, but they didn't re-open, and closed the track at around 7! Was totally bummed out!

Just an incredible list of cars, from all kinds of Porsches (GT3RS 997.2, GT2, 993s, 356, etc..) to Ferraris and many light weight, race-ready, smaller cars with full cages, etc... I will posts pics after I am back... tomorrow and Sunday, Porsche Sports Cup race, gonna be crazy!

Totally a must-do for anyone who visits Germany!

We need a full track debrief and associated photos. No ride with Sabine?

Nice! A friend of mine picked up his 7GT3 at the Factory and had Sabine show him around the ring. What did you rent?
