another consideration for experienced Nordschleife folks should be the Porsche Driving School: no date yet, usually 2 days in August
- by far the best (i have attended BMW Int´l, Scuderia Hanseat and Scuderia S7 several times)
- they announced that you can rent the new GT3 (they already had several of them in an PSDS event in autumn 2013 in Imola).
that's HUGE ... they never used to allow you to rent at the Ring ... I might even consider doing that again ... will you post when the dates become available?

i tried to rent a GT3 last year from rent a race car, but you loose your money if it rains and cannot take the car out.

driving the ring for 300km is one experience you will never ever forget. i want to go back forsure with a faster choice of car, we rented a z4 (father picked the car he wanted RWD)

I will keep you posted... just checked now and there are no updates on the sumer schedule which right now is very incomplete. i think the whole PSDS crew is busy with these winter/snow driving events.

Fingers crossed nothing happens that I miss this one this year but I should be there for the S7 event but likely not in a Porsche I think... Will keep an eye out for your car...
