First time at the ring today

While I do understand that it may come across as a bit sappy, just a thank you to this community as a whole. It was great to source information prior to driving my first and, for now, only lap. My ecoboom survived.

I managed to get in a lap with a taxi, Genesis, as well and that was absolutely fantastic. Marco is a gent!

Hope to do it all again in the not so distant future, perhaps in something just a tad more powerful. I had plenty fun with the Fiesta, but would have loved to have a little bit more power during the steeper uphill sections.

Übernachtung/Zelten während DTM Wochenende im August

Mahlzeit zusammen,

ich würde gerne mit meinen Kindern im August zum DTM Wochenende und das ganze mit Zelten verbinden.
Jetzt weiß ich aber, dass der Platz am Ringe sowie direkt umliegende Nachts gerne zur Partymeile werden. Und dass muss ich mit den Kindern nicht haben (8J / 13J)
Ich hatte gehofft, dass man z.B. auch Brünnchen oder andere Spots zum Zelten nutzen kann, aber das ist wohl nur bei Langstreckenevents so, wenn ich das richtig gesehen habe.
Ich muss zugeben, das Budget spielt hier auch eine Rolle.

Hat jemand einen Tipp wie man das relativ günstig verwirklichen kann?

GetSpeed Race vs Ring Taxi

Hi,

I am arriving on a thursday so my choices are limited. I will be riding the m3 cs, as that is the car I own, albeit I am sure the GT3 is more track focused...

Anyone have feedback on GetSpeed Race vs Ring Taxi. My main concerns are how aggressive the drive will be and less important the video quality. Any feedback is much appreicated. I am not going to drive as I know my limits and I trust a race car driver as the m3 CS is extremely powerful.

I wish Apex was still around in he f80 m3. That is the actual gen I own and man it is such a joy to drive!

BMW built the ultimate family car. I thought the livery let it down, so I fixed it.

At this year’s 24h of the Nürburgring I saw the GT3 touring in person. The car itself is a stroke of genius, but the livery let it down, in my mind it did not convey the story and therefore did not do justice to the uniqueness of this built.

So, I designed the livery it deserved. Station wagons have always been performance wrapped in practicality, built for the school run with a boot full of groceries. So, I kept that joke going: what if LIDL sponsored the ultimate family car?

I would genuinely love to hear what this community thinks!

Weekday Tourist Driving Traffic (Volume)

Hi,

For weekdays looks like the tourist times are 17:00-19:30.

Do people thin out towards the end of session. Or slow to show up.

When would the track be most open (least volume). I can't do right at the begining so its either:

17:15

or

19:00

Touristenfahrten on 4th July?

Hey there, I live like 2 hours from the Ring and wanted to drive the Nordschleife on my birthday the July 4th. On the Tourist calendar, the day is marked in green, which usually means the track is open for driving.

However, when I checked the events calendar, I saw that the Michelin 12H Race is taking place from July 3rd to July 5th. Does the event only use the GP circuit, or is the website displaying incorrect information? I'm a bit confused because the Tourist Drives page suggests that the Nordschleife will be open on July 4th.

Thanks.

kleiner Rant

Als jemand, der in der Gegend um den Nürburgring wohnt, den Nürburgring und seine Attraktionen für Touristen liebt und Familie hat, die direkt an der Strecke wohnt, muss ich jetzt endlich einmal Dampf ablassen.

Zuerst: Ich will, dass jeder, der will, zum Ring kommt, Autos rentet, seine eigenen Erfahrungen macht und den Ring sowie die eigene Liebe zum Ring weiter trägt. Die Region lebt vom Ring, dem Tourismus und Personen, die sich entscheiden, zu kommen.

Aber egal ob im eigenen Auto, einem geliehenen Auto oder in der Gastro am und um den Ring. Benehmt euch doch bitte. Haltet euch an die Straßenregeln, fahrt vorausschauend und, wenn ihr meint, gefährlich fahren zu müssen, riskiert doch nur euer eigenes Leben und nicht das von anderen Straßenteilnehmern.

Ich bin vorhin von einem Touri in geliehenen Auto geschnitten worden. Ich habe einen Anhänger mit Pferd am Auto und zwei Kleinkinder sowie meine Schwester im Auto, es kam Gegenverkehr. Ich hätte einen Km/h schneller sein müssen, der Gegenverkehr eine Sekunde früher kommen müssen, und es wäre zum Unfall mit 3 Autos und Minimum 6 Personen gekommen. Glücklicherweise ist nichts passiert, aber es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis jemand nicht so viel Glück hat.

Bitte, kommt in die Gegend, liebt den Ring. Aber gefährdet andere nicht. das sollte das Mindeste sein.

Today’s sweaty TF pictures

Brutal temperatures at the track today. First time I’ve seen the track and spectator areas this empty on a sunny Saturday.

Leased car on a track - legal?

I would like to drive my car around the track while im on my roadtrip through germany, the only problem is that it is leased from Volkswagen Financial Services. I read my contract and it states that the car cannot be used in in "racing competitions". How does it work in the terms of Nurburgring technically being a public road? Does anyone have experiance with this? I heard about stories of some guys losing their cars and agreements by simply driving on the track with them.

I built an interactive Nordschleife corner map while chasing all gold in GT7

I was constantly watching guide videos to learn tricks, and at the same time I wanted to know what all the different corners were called. Existing resources were useful, but they were usually either flat maps or long video explanations, which made it hard to follow the lap section by section.

So I made an interactive Nordschleife corner map:

https://jjying.com/nurburgring/?lang=en

It includes corner names, German names, English translations, short origin notes and some photos.

I also want to thank the many existing resources I used while building this. The reference links are listed in the About section on the site, including corner-name articles, track guides, videos, and photo sources. This project is more of a curated/interactive way to study them than a replacement for those original sources.

Would love feedback from people who know the track well, especially if any placement, name, translation, or historical detail is off.

Ventilator/Fan - Where to buy near Kelburg/Nurburgring? Desperate Plea from a wanna be racer...

Let's lay the groundwork here- moderately obese American shows up to the Ring for a once in a lifetime trip. This has been my dream since I was a small (but round) child.

I had no idea y'all don't have fans or AC... So at this point I will probably perish from a heat stroke before I ever make it out on the track. First world problems and a bit dramatic, I know. I would buy a portable AC unit and donate it to someone before I leave if I could find one in the next few hours. Even a fan would be spectacular...

Lidl was out of fans- if I survive the night, where can I buy/rent/trade my car for a fan nearby in the morning? I'll post the video of my terribly slow laps tomorrow to keep it relevant, as I just don't know who else to ask (and Google wasn't that helpful).
