Wife has a business trip ending on a Friday in Basle, CH in August. I plan on meeting her in Basle then driving to Stuttgart to visit the Porsche Museum. Since we are doing the museum on a Tuesday, she thought I would want to drive the Nurburgring on that Monday. I did check to see if it is open to the public on that date, and so far it is listed as "open".

I have visited the Nurburgring for Dummies website, seems like some good info, even though its a few years old.

I planned on renting a track car (VW Polo GTI) from Rent-Racecar.de. They come recommended from some friends of mine, Euros, that have dealt with them before.

So if anyone who has been to the 'Ring and has some tips or suggestions, it would be appreciated.

Also, and this might be stretch, but if anyone knows some epic roads between Basle and Stuttgart that would be great! I just found out about the Switzerland part of the trip an hour ago, so I haven't mapped it out yet. I know the Sudschwarzwald Nature Park is between Basle and Stuttgart and we have about 12 hours available to travel 3 hours by Autobahn. So we are looking for views and great roads.

Thank you for your time.
