European car culture: What I do on the weekends
European car enthusiasts spend their weekends here at the Nurburgring on the western side of Germany. Some come to watch, most come to drive the 12 miles of the most famous race track/ public road in the world. It is an experience that I encourage all of you to try at least once in your life time.

My german totally sucks nowadays but I will try.
Blicke, zum viel des Spaes zu sein. Ich hoffe zu einem Tag in der Lagebin, sich die Reisekosten zu leisten und es nach Deutschland eines Tages heraus zu bilden.

pic of your car on nurburgring = ultimate win.
what's the procedure for actually driving that course? (how much money, how many laps, are you constantly getting passed by race car drivers, etc.)
It's definitely on my "list of things to do before I die" list. I wonder if the fact that I've raced on it a million times in racing simulators (video games) will help to some degree. Hah.

Thanks for all the kind words. I actually created this thread to show some Rustang owners that there's bigger things out there but I guess you can't teach an old horse new tricks. The Nurburgring is on the western side of Germany, i.e. its closer to the French border than the Czech Republic. This year, it cost 18 euros per lap (season pass is 800 euros), think next year they are raising it to 21 euros. Anybody can drive on the Nurburgring but an accident is expensive, you damage the railings you buy the railings and they cost about 2k euros when it is all said and done and some insurance states in their policies they will not cover you there. People wreck there all the time due to various reasons, but mostly because they've exceeded their skill level. Many different level of experience as you can imagine so I've passed Porsche 996 GT3s and I've been passed by a BMW 130s. I've had the honor of having a Ring Taxi (BMW M5) drift by me (Initial D style) when I first started learning the track.
