Drove the Nürburgring today
I had the opportunity to drive the Nordschleife at the Nürburgring today in my Audi A4 rental car. That place is amazing and there were several million dollars worth of exotic cars running the track today. The Audi was out classed by the Ferarris, Porsches and BMWs and the snow tires didn't help. The track is difficult and I only did two laps (42 Euro). There were 3 accidents that closed the track for several hours. Most of the drivers were crazy and passing was allowed anywhere. I only saw one Corvette which was a C6.
If you're ever in Ramstein, Germany do not rent the silver 2008 Audi A4 1.8T from Sixt. It was broken in kind of hard.

it is was only open 2 hours because a big motorcycle magazine was having a huge motorcycle event. saw some amazing bikes!
i went to "Rent a Race Car" and they said i should drive turbo gti vw the first time. But the owner was a great guy and the car was tuned pretty good, except i over braked a lot and forgot about turbo lag. :o the track is like driving an old tight mountain road with walls! the two carousels were a trip, they were built in cement patches and were so ruff the traction control in the car would kill my engine, but if you kept your entry speed up in one you could almost fly out and get air born at the end
it is almost impossible to explain the track. In a nutshell it is like riding a dragon's back for 13 miles that never seems to end! it would be a blast in a corvette. it really looks as though it would suit a corvette perfectly!:cheers
And Yeah it was fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumb s: And i am going back!
hope they let me have the BMW M3 next time
wish someone rented Corvettes
Gutentag Wayne !! Wie Geht's ?

Rules of the road are the same as any road in Germany (Since it is classified as a one-way toll road......) Passing cars have the right of way.
I also want to ride in the ring taxi with Sabine next time.
Also, watch out for rental car contracts. Many now forbid driving on the Nurburgring specifically due to cars being returned in less than perfect condition.
