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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
