I did 15 laps of the nurburgring in bmw 318 rental car. incredible experience. incredible variety of corners and elevation change. no helmet required, and you are out there with everything from motorcylces, to tour buses, to exotics. had a a few scary moments like almost re-ending a motorcylce who slowed to a crawl in a corner, coming too-hot into a chicane and straightlining it, and oversteering on a corner exit, putting 2 wheels in the dirt in front of a bunch of spectators. if you are anywhere near it on vacation the track is open to the public thur, and fri from 5-8, and on weekends.

I'll check through my SCC issues when I get home from work and scan in the evo article if you guys are interested in it.

And you're a lucky guy, wish I had a track like that as cheap within 2h. I'd become furniture there

It was on carfreaks website for a while, not sure if it's still there.
If someone can host it, I can ftp it over. I believe the movie is pretty large.
I think a person doing a thing like that over here would get banned forever

She has a restaurant at the track with her family.
