Quote from: Tara on August 11, 2010, 01:11:32 pmAs title says, anyone been and driven around it? Im going next year with a few people and taking the golf around :) The Nürburgring nordschleife is amazing, insane.It is Heaven in Hell.You'll love it.I went there maybe 10 times, I rode 77 laps. I hope the next time will be in september.Quote from: Hurdy on August 11, 2010, 02:01:44 pmThey have now started doing trackdays as well as tourist days. Trackdays mean it is easier to get track specific insurance and any incidents are dealt with as knock for knock, so you aren't liable like on a tourist day. I did a trackday at the 'ring in April and it was by far and away a million times better than any tourist day. The organisation, the drivers are better behaved (on the whole anyway!), no buses, bikes, vans etc and a limitation of how many cars are allowed on the trackday, which means clearer laps. Also figure into the equation that unless there is a major crash on the trackday, the track is kept open. There were around 5 incidents on the day I went and not one shut the track down. When I've been on a tourist day in the past, at least 4 of these would have shut the track down. On trackdays you also get a full flag system with a comprehensive amount of people at trackside to use them. Who organize it and when?

I've just got back from my first trip. Other than the crashes, track closure and the eye infection, it was an awesome experience. Definately going back!
