Well yeh, i figure since im only in germany for a week its best to at least get a proper lap in! Ferrari have booked the track the next day or two, so the 3rd is my only chance.

Theres other options for better / faster cars but they start from 300 euros and rise quickly. Theres also a couple of porkas etc for hire BUT driving around a racetrack in a country i've never been to with no insurance in a Hi-Po car worth 50-100K is not something i plan on doing anytime soon

Sorry boys, she's not really my type but i'll take some photo's for you Like i said i have a spare seat if anyone wants to spend 2K on airfares to meet her!!!

Bridge to Gantry

She is down for a 8 min 30 sec in the ring taxi. Try twist her arm for an 8:29.

Judging by the sort of pace you need to keep up in Forza Motorsport to hit that time you WILL be shitting yourself if she even goes close.

YES I AM ENVIOUS

Don't forget anything you manage to hire will almost certainly be left hand drive.

If you haven't driven one a bit before punting one round a race track might be a bit disconcerting.

M5 is only boring if some middle aged business man is cruising along in it.

Should be great fun

Totally green here mate! What an awesome thing to do.

+1 for the left hand drive thing. Not as easy to get used to as I thought it would be.

I'll get my chance in August. Have booked an M3 racecar for a day to drive some laps in. Should be a blast. Had considered the ring taxi to find my way round the track, but think I will try to scam pax laps from the carpark.

Hammer forza motorsport to death. FFS don't be that brave when doing the real deal but 147 corners is a LOT to learn. At least if you know which way the next one goes by heart it will be a lot less nerve racking.
