that's freaking awesome but your car looks a little outclassed with all those high end exotics!! LOL

:mullet: I know right. A lot of these cars are balls out track prepped cars too.

the vettes looked pretty good with those wings........don't much like porsches, so i kinda feel you made them look worse than they already do, by parking american muscle next to them. kinda surprised(even though i shouldn't be) to see a focus there.....

Nice pics/cars. Im digging the Black z06s on your car!

Great pictures man. Did you drive it on the track?

Soooo.... did you get to have a go around? lol If so how fast did you hit on the back straight?

LOL. Of course I did, twice. I didn't drive my car from England to this place just to park my car. lol.

I drove it to 150+ at the back straight until I had to slow down real quick for the exit. It's nothing like in the video game at all. It's a roller coaster ride on the road and you are the driver. I was going 60-90+ MPH on apexes/turns that are long and 30-40+ MPH on short ones. My street tires were screaming for dear life. lol.

Nice , you should have installed in car camera

The most badass moment was when the white ZR1 passed me coming out of a turn, screaming. I had a chub for a little while after that and then a few turns down a freaking racecar honda civic passed me as well. I was like, "hell, no!" but this was on my first lap so I didn't know how or where do the turns go.

I don't care what you drive but every MAN who is a car guy SHOULD go drive in Nurburgring. 13 miles of freaking FUN.

I had one ready, I brought my go pro but the Nurburgring doesn't allow for a camera installed inside/on the car. IIRC, if they find out, you get booted/fined.

Well that blows!! If I ever go I'll take my spy shades with me :)

Man that is cool as hell. I would love to bring my vette over and run on it. How long was the drive from England to Germany?

times?

congrats,looks like an awesome time.....:burn:

Didn't know the Ring was open to the general public.






Very cool :cool:

awesome sounds like fun

i wish they had something like that here on the east coast of the usa....but sadly, i suppose that thanks to the lawsuit culture here, something like that will never become reality.

About 5+ hrs plus the ferry ride (1 hr).

There was no timer. If I would have to guess, it would be around high 8s to low 9s on my second lap. I know it's pretty short time because I couldn't believe how it flew by fast.

congrats,looks like an awesome time.....:burn:

It sure was. There were quite a few Americans that day. They rented the BMW ring taxi to drive it in the Ring.

Didn't know the Ring was open to the general public.
Very cool :cool:

Yeah, they have it open on tourist days which is basically every day thing unless there is an event going on.

awesome sounds like fun

Sure is.

That's true. I didn't have to sign a waiver to drive my car in there. They didn't even check if I have insurance either. :lol:

I got a photo of me driving! :lol:

Awesome Pics. I miss the ring. Its addictive. I'm 9 months from going home, and I'm already ordering parts.

Check out my experiences at the ring.

Still trying to decide if I should go with 275 front/315 rear tires on 17's, or just put 255's on my 16in rims.

More pics...

Hilarious that they dont make you wear a helmet. No matter how fast your car is you are surrounded by fast cars that could be driven by idiots. Especially if you have people renting track cars there. Im all about dangerous and stupid, but you would think they have insurance companies telling them to have stuff like that.
Did they do any kind of inspection on your car?
I definitely envy you.
GL

Awesome......You sir are the shit!!!!!

Sadly enough, that's what I was thinking. Damn I miss Germany.

Helmets are recommended I believe but not required. I brought my helmet with me but didn't wear it.

The nurburgring site did state that the car that you will drive has to be in an inspection order by German standards and should be insured.

That being said, my car was never inspected by the Germans/inspectors nor I was asked if I'm insured or have proof of insurance.

My next track to visit is the Le Mans track in France. I doubt that I'll be able to drive my car in "FULL" circuit instead it'll probably be the Buggatti circuit.

Next one after that is the Silverstone track here in England.

Alright man.. I bought my 3500 stall from you and that practically makes us family. That said...... Do you have a guest room!?

I'm simply envious.

Awesome, can't believe I missed this post. Good stuff!

oh how i wish i would have gotten stationed some where cool!
