That looks scarier than any roller coaster I've ever been on. There is NO room for error on the Nurburgring... if you fall off, it's game over.

Leave it to the Germans to make a track like that, and then make it open to the public. Germany doesn't **** around...

I would give my left nut for a (excuse the pun) ***** out lap around the ring in my car of choice.

That is and will always be in the top 3 places I would love to run flat out. Along with the salt flats and the Silver State Classic.

Nice video, I enjoyed it. I've seen 'ring videos before, but never seen that much of the track without the video ending.

It takes some serious ***** and training to run the 'ring at the speeds these guys do.

Would be cool until some **** in Congress found a way to put a 25 MPH speed limit on it.

When I went to the ring with my family and unfortunately with the G35, there were cars like the cars you would see in cars and coffee but there were there to be driven not like to show off. It was a bad *** sight. The Germans like the speed... A lot.

.... I'm definitely switching Spangdahlem to the top of my base preference list instead of Ramstein!

On another note there are on average 4 to 5 people killed on the ring every year, with dozens seriously injured. Also 1 to 2 cars daily that have to be hauled away on a flat bed because damage is so bad it can't move under its own power.
