The speeds the "fast" cars were attempting was pushing the safety but that's all part of what makes this place special. There was only one lap of 6 that didn't have a yellow flag due to a caution (accident). The track was being opened and closed all day due to even more serious accidents. All part of the excitement of the Ring. I'll just say again, unless you know the track and the 70+ corners, there isn't much need for too much horsepower. At least not until you get a feel for it. If you are only doing a few laps as I did, it wouldn't have made sense to double the cost of the rental for more HP. Of course this is just my opinion. Your mileage may vary. I think it's well worth a visit to try it for yourself. It was amazing!

Thanks

I choose the BMW, the insurance (I picked all-inclusive), the number of laps, and in my case I also had an instructor. It was pricey but for a once in a lifetime experience I feel justified. Have a great time. Make sure the track is open by checking here before you schedule anything http://www.nuerburgring.de/en/drives...dschleife.html.
