So I just got back from a trip through parts of Europe that ended with a few days in Nurburg. This morning though I wake up to find this

While on Monday I was taking pictures of this(last picture is of an SRT8 Grand Cherokee that had a Helicopter chase);

 

I am currently uploading my pictures and video and should have them up in the next few days. I was able to rent a car and drove 8 laps on the Nordschleife, although 5 of them were in a torrential downpour. Below is the Suzuki Swift Sport i rented from the FANTASTIC guys at Rent4 Ring. These guys were really a class act and would recommend them to anyone. But I am sifting through over 10gigs of video and pictures and will try to get them up and posted as soon as I can.

 

Very cool, never a dull day at the ring!

I went back in '07 and did a handful of laps in a few different cars. What a nasty track it is, I couldn't imagine it in the rain.

 

in for pics and videos, looks flipping sweet

 

Rent 4 Ring? How much was that? Considering a trip to Germany next year and would love to get on the 'Ring.

 

In for pics

 

They have quite a few packages depending on the car you want to drive (pretty much as long as its a Suzuki Swift, haha) and how many laps you want to do. The cheapest I believe is 99 euro and that includes 2 laps plus gas and incidentals. I did 4 laps for 299 Euro in the Stage 2 car plus 4 extra laps that I had to pay a set rate for. They are the up and comers compared to the fleet of cars that RSR has. I did meet one of the RSR guys and he was nice as well but The Rent 4 Ring guys were the nicest people we met out side of Austria.

Hoping to drive the ring next year as well.

First of all, that's awesome that you shot those pics and then found that article.

I recently also took a trip out to Germany and made my way up to Nurburg. I would have to say that I went to both Rent4Ring and RSR and was much happier with the service at RSR. I had originally talked to a couple of the guys at Rent4Ring because on paper they are the cheapest ones, but when I showed up there, I felt much more welcomed at RSR. And let me say, I am not one to care too much about service as long as I get what I came for, but at Rent4Ring, I showed up the day before and was trying to ask them questions about what was going to happen the next day and they basically just told me to call them tomorrow and said they were busy trying to get the cars put away.

At RSR they were totally chill, I ended up spending the day just hanging out in their lounge and they had some promotional rates that were not advertised online. Also, the owner, Ron, offered some great deals on top of their promotions. I ended up getting driven around the track in their Lotus Exige Cup car, then drove the Lotus around Nurburg (not on the track) on a tour, and then did a couple of laps in their Renault Clio and had him in the car coaching me around the track (at first I thought it was a waste to have an instructor as I have been to the track here before, but it definitely helped since most turns are blind and he was basically just telling me what gear to be in and when to punch the throttle). I didn't end up running with Rent4Ring and I'm sure they are good, but based strictly on first impressions, I would definitely recommend RSR.

That track is AMAZING!

my 2 cents.
