Hope to get there next year, maybe later this year. What company did you rent from and what track day groups did you look at for dates? I may bring my sweet 85hp diesel focus wagon to lower the total price, lol. This move was pricey so pinching pennies for a bit.

Yea a whopping 220 fwd hp. By the way a ton of fun. You know how the saying goes.... it’s so much more fun to drive a slow car fast then a fast car slow. Oh..you should’ve told me about the rental for a GT3 RS at 650 euro per lap Plus track fee,fuel and insurance. Yeah maybe next time I’ll do that. Have you ever driven the Nordschleife? No?

Fun! I got to go there for the first time in 2016. I drove a Scirocco which is pretty much a Golf GTI with street tires. Still fun. It was crowded though and lots of traffic, not like your laps.

Nice looks like so much fun. I’ll be going to Germany once a year from now on. 10 laps every year for sure.
we should talk will get a crew to go over there.
