Default My trip to the Nurburgring

This past June I went to Europe for three weeks, it was amazing. Started in Rome, Italy > Interlaken, Switzerland > Munich, Germany > Nurburgring > Berlin > Amsterdam > Brussels > Paris; that was the trip.

It was my brother, best friend and another friend who made this trip...one day randomly we decided we'd go to the Nurburgring. I contacted RSR and rented an Alfa Romeo 75 to drive around the track, it was insane. Countless Porsches, GTR's, ZR1's, Ferraris, Lambos, etc.

Here are some pictures, figured I'd share with you guys. It is a beautiful place out there and I can't wait to go back. The guys at RSR went above and beyond to accommodate us "backpackers", great group of guys. Anyway, here are some pictures...

Here's me standing on the track after it closed for the day


My brother and me




Me driving the **** out of that Alfa Romeo


Some of the scenery


Cars we saw that passed us on the track as well!






I have a lot more pictures of the Nurburgring and the entire trip, just never got around to uploading anything, may upload more this weekend. Anyway, hope you enjoyed!

Adenau


Picture of the scenery Germany provides, this was in the middle of our trip from Munich to Nurburg


Just getting off of the train, this is how in the middle of nowhere the Nurburgring is, we rode the train to the end of the line. And still had 30 or so miles to go.


My buddy Brock haha


BOOOM

Yeah I hear ya on how fun it is. I was here (Germany) back in 05-07 with my 02' Z28 over here and I just got back in April 09' (Air Force) with the Z28. I live about 40 min away from Nurburgring and it is a blast. Germany and Europe in general is a blast. I have a couple of vid's on youtube of me on the ring if you guy's want I can post em.
