Default GT3 Video & pics at Nordschleife

Hi guys , i want to share a small story about my big love my 911 GT3.

When i was young i had a dream , when i grow up to own a Porsche and drive fast on the Nordschleife . Recently my dream came true . I dont live in Germany but i do some business there and i managed to buy and drive there few times per year a 2010 GT3 Gt silver . This summer i visited Nurburgring and stayed for few days close to the track with a few friends . Nordschleife with sunny weather and a GT3 composed the best experience that i ve ever had (FYI i was on a set of trofeos and pfc 08 pads). Of course it was not my first visit there . The last years i ve done all the trainings that BMW was offering with M3s .

So all i can say is a unique experience to drive the most balanced car in this very special track . It makes me want to do it again and again as long as i live . By the way the small village streets around the track are amazing . For all of those who can do it at least once , dont give it a second thought.

I uploaded some pics and a video to share with you some of the best moments of this trip . Enjoy and express your thoughts .

Here is the link of the video.

How did you manage to sneak in a camera on a TF? Or have the rules changed? I'm going to be there the whole next weekend...with some friends.

Ring laps are never enough.We drove until we go to the hotel and fall down exhausted.

Everybody were using cameras.Sometimes they check but most of the time we could use them.

Hi, would you recommend that rental company 'getspeed' in the pics with the Gt3?

EDIT - ignore that - i see its a 'fast taxi service'....
