A few months ago I contacted the Porsche factory in Stuttgart as I wanted to take a tour factory with my son. I got a reply back that the minimum age is 16 years (Sam is 11) and unfortunately that idea was out of the window.
I had the trip to Europe booked, and just visiting family is kind of boring for kids. As an alternative I decided to drive out to the Nurburg ring. Only a 3 hour drive from where we stayed in Holland. A good friend of mine borrowed his shiny Mercedes to us and we went off to the Autobahn...
At the ring we visited the museum, took a backstage tour (very interesting!) and took a few rides in the go-karts.
The next day we rented a VW and took it for a spin on the the track! Wow! Thats a great experience! With no race background other than a few years on a shifter go-kart we got some tips and tricks from the car rental yard and went out for 6 laps.
If you ever in Germany for any reasons, its absolutely worth it! The Eiffel is a beautiful area and yes, they also rent 911 GT3.....
