Trip to Germany

Trip to Germany
Hoping to get some feedback. We're travelling to Germany for the first time this June. We've scheduled track time at Nurburgring, Spa and working on Red Bull Ring. These are obvious stops, although we're looking for ideas and additional points of interest for car enthusiasts that may not be so well known. We're able to utilize our media access if necessary. Anything in particular we should know about the Porsche Museum? We're most interested in race cars and prototypes. Are there any other car collections or museums that should be considered in Germany and near the tracks mentioned above? Is there a particular historic or legendary car related stretch of road that should be travelled? Any other ideas and input would be most appreciated. Thank you, and we'll be posting our car adventures on thespeedjournal.com

I hear you on the recovery time. Two intense tracks! I like to study a track before driving it for the first time, but what do you do with Nurburgring, there's no possible way for me to remember that entire track.

I know a guy that practiced this track over and over again on computer games before hitting the Nurburgring. I know this sounds corny (I don't play games on the computer) and a computer game could never replicate the feel of a track...... But he had the whole course memorized before he went.

That's impressive. I've only attempted and accomplished that on 2-3 mile courses, and plan do it with Spa. It would be interesting to hear if others have memorized "The Green Hell".

The 'Ring is all about confidence. Nearly every corner is blind, so you can only go fast if you're brave and confident.
