Why buy from us?
Arguably, one of the most iconic Formula 1 Circuits in the world, the legendary ‘Old’ Nürburgring held the German Grand Prix up until 1976. At a staggering 14.1 miles in length, with over 150 corners, this track is guaranteed to provide a thrill and driving experience that racing enthusiasts dream of and now it’s your chance to test yourself against it. After a near fatal crash in 1976, the circuit was no longer used due to safety concerns. However, in 1984, this iconic venue was rebuilt using a small part of the original track but an entirely new section was built to ensure it matched modern day safety requirements.And now, this track is available to race through on one of our most unforgettable experiences! This experience is run as an independent operator day; meaning you will only be on track with track focused enthusiasts in their cars, not alongside motorcycles, buses or vans. Please note: this experience is NOT on a general public Touristenfahreten day.The Nordschleife really is a circuit that needs absolutely no introduction and this track combined with the Hyundai i30N car we have on offer for this unique Arrive and Drive day truly gets the blood pumping and provides an adrenaline thrill that arguably can’t be beaten.Not only is your car taken to the event and prepared for you when you arrive - thus eliminating the stresses of a regular track day - but it all takes place in a relaxed and informal environment, so you can really enjoy the day and get to know the car and the circuit properly with less time pressure.The expert ARDS grade B and above instructors at these events will be there to give you a warm welcome, and rest assured that they are the cream of the crop as they’ve had many years of previous race and tuition experience at venues like these. What’s more, with low car participation numbers at each event, the element of risk is minimised and allows you to explore the track at its best.This is a completely unique driving experience and there are extremely limited numbers. So petrol heads, waste now time and secure your place today, before someone else does!
The itinerary for this package is clearly divided into two parts which are outlined below, and we would ask that you read through this and the General Information under the ?Requirements? tab carefully prior to making your booking.
UK - Pre-Trip
All drivers who book for this event will attend a Motorsport UK approved circuit prior to their chosen trip, to be assessed by a S Grade ARDS instructor on competency to drive at speed, and to familiarise yourself with your chosen car prior to the main event.
It is a mandatory requirement that this is taken prior to the main event in order to be assessed, so please ensure you have enough time to participate prior to booking.
Instructors will carry out a full assessment of whether or not you will get to attend your trip based on your performance here. If successful, you will be attending the main trip. If unsuccessful, you will be offered helpful tips for improvement.
