My wife and I decided to vacation in Germany/Austria this summer. The most important part of our trip was my "rent a race car" at the Nurburgring and our stop over in Stuttgart to see the Porsche Museum. ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I am currently sitting in our hotel in Vienna bored so I figure I will share my pictures so far.

130hp suzuki swift!![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Now we get in the van and go around the track *rather briskly... haha* Tried to get a couple shots but they didn't turn out well. go figure.

So, I get 4 laps. Ran my first 2, took a break then ran my 3rd and took a lap time on my phone of 11:13.78. Not super accurate but not too bad I guess. I was passing the other guys, but I wanted to do better, so I really focused on my final lap. I ended up with a time of 10:30.12! hows that for a first timer in a suzuki swift :P When I get home I am going to try it on the xbox and see what I get... hehe
oh and on my way back to Cologne in my e200 coupe rental car I hit 248km/h on the autobahn!!
was a bit scared to take a pic going that fast so I slowed up a bit.

Well, we do some more touristy stuff, then we head to Garmisch. On our way we stop in Stuttgart to go through the Porsche museum. Here are a couple shots I took.

Great pics
I did the same trip with my friends in June 25th and it was great .
There was a big E30 M3 meeting and we drove all the way from Turkey to Nurburgring to join the meeting.
I also rented the suziki swift stage 3 race car and it was fun to drive
Nurburgring is definately a great place to race and meet enthusiasts around the world.
I will go back again

I used tthe company Rent4ring. They are in Adenau . Next to the other entrance of Nurburgring.
Ralph works there and he is a good friend of mine. If you go there again. Tell him that you are a friend of the Turkish guys and ask for discount

Ring werk is ok. Its like a big shop for buying small gifts. But there are also nice things to see inside.
There is a car museum inside with some entartainment stuff.
And there is a big tv inside. I was luck enough to watch a world cup game there

I liked Ring Werk a lot. I really wanted to sit there and play ps3 but all the kids took them :P.
They had a ton of cars and some nice exhibits. I've got a free ticket for next year... Guess they were running a promotion.
