Nurburgring Pictures and Videos

Was going to post just a few pics in the Viper vs. Porsche thread, but apparently I have yet to post my pics/vids from my trip to Germany… mainly just the Nurburgring since I’m sure nobody cares about anything else… lol. If I have already posted them (didnt find anything searching) then I apologize and this can be deleted…
And now to the Vids first.

First a little american muscle heading to Paris from Koln:

One of the very few cars I actually saw on the track (north track):

The road that goes around the actual track… might as well be on the track (except for the speed limit). Please disregard the gay music… there was very limited selection of English stations on the radio.

Topping out the rental on one of the the Autobahns:

Now to the pics:
The rental beast… diesel fury… lol

Almost there:

Which way?!?!?!

Getting Closer:

Finally there:

Roller-coaster that actually goes through the main building and right next to the Gran Prix track:

Gotta love the road signs… “great fun ahead”:

Some display cars:






















Pics of the track:

Thanks for looking!

Did you rent a prep’d car and hit the track?

already saw these… i love the winding road vid

No, it was too late in the season and in the day (we didn’t get there until just before it was getting dark) so they were no longer renting them… I wanted to soooo bad. I was even going to try to throw some money to someone to sit passenger but never saw anyone entering the track. I’m sure I’ll be back in Germany sooner or later and possibly get a chance then.

heaven!

awww thats not fairrr

Should have told me you were heading over there ahead of time and I could have linked you up with Robert and my sister for a day. Possibly given you a ride around the ring in the Clio Cup or the C5 at full tilt.

Definitely an awesome place to visit if you ever get the chance. My dad is now overseas there for a month. Retirement rocks :excited

Man I miss that country…some of the best years of my life there!

That would have been awesome. It was still pretty nice to just be there… possibly the next time I go over I’ll be able to get a little more time to spend at the track and hit you up on that offer… lol

Quiddelbach is beautiful countryside and the Nordschleife is the icing on the cake. If you do go back in the future give me some notice. My sister typically has no problem making passengers brown their shorts on test days.

Does she live up there I take it?

Lives/works in Switzerland but is all over Europe racing. Spa, Magny-cours, Nords, Hockenhiem, Monza, etc, etc.
