Drove thru gate...


Did a lap...



And came back...

 

So sweet! Tell us more!

 

For one thing, nothing can prepare you for the real thing. You can play it on Gran Turismo all you want and yes it is accurate to the smallest details, but there are two things missing.
One is the actual feel, as in the cornering forces and drops and climbs your body feels and the sense of actual speed.
The other thing is fear, when you think you may have entered a corner slightly hot and in your head it's "OH-****-OH-****-OH-****!!!"

But anyway, it was my first ever lap on the Nordschleife and it had rained earlier in tje day, so I was gonna take it easy anyway.
It was on a weekday, so that was a plus as it wasn't very busy and I only got overtaken by two full blown racecars, a Porsche and a BMW.
I managed a 12 minute lap and am just pleased to have driven on the legendary track that is the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
I will definitely visit this track again.

 

i wanna track my Z there so bad

but how come you weren't wearing a helmet?

congrats on the experience dude

 

serious

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

nice, would love to do that one day

 

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

 

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time and going into detail. Your a lucky man.

 

Pretty cool experience! Thanks for sharing op.

 

The reason for me not wearing a helmet is rather simple, you don't need to wear one.
Because technically speaking, the Nordschleife is classed as a toll road.
You can drive anything on there as long as it has the ability to reach a minimum speed of 60 mph.

 

that is the mecca of circuit tracks. congrats on being able to drive there. the rolling pics look great but need to get rid of the watermarks.

 

Yeah, for sure, will be in contact with the photographer at some point

 

How much did it cost to race there?

 

Just roll up any day of the week, check public track access times beforehand tho, pay 24 Euros per lap and off you go.
If you buy more laps then one, then there are discounts for lap-packs.

 

Have the prices gone up from let's say 4-5 years ago? It seems pretty pricey, 24 euro for a lap.

 

Prices definitely went up. It was 22 Euros a lap last year or 80 Euros for 4 laps. You can also get the season pass (unlimited laps for a year) for 1300 Euros

 

Dream track!

 

Now without watermarks
