UPDATE!!!
Well guys, I actually was able to make the trip to the Ring last week. My plans changed a bit since it basically rained the entire way from Brussels so I stopped for lunch in Prum.
So instead of arriving at 1pm and renting a sorted track car, I got there around 2:30 and decided to just take the rental car......
My only regret was missing the Old Timers Grand Prix. There were tons of vintage race cars everywhere many that raced and others that filled the car parks.
AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix*- Nürburgring
Well back o the track, I dropped my wife and daughter at the main facility as there was a lot going on with the race and I headed to the Nordschleife with sons in tow.
The said POS rental car was a front drive diesel Opel 4 door my kids called the "Golden Egg"
Now I know what your going to think, why bother?? But I will say it wasn't that bad and I actually PASSED TWO CARS!
I was either in under/overstear mode the entire time and got passed by about 10-12 hopped up "fill in the blank German hot-rod".
Now my son took the pics from a cell phone and he was half watching so they arent great but here you go:
OK, here's my favorite of me finally catching an passing the 996 that went out a few seconds before me. OK I'll admit it was because a Fiat X19 spun out (see my side mirror) and the Porsche slowed down. but still, I didn't spin or crash and passed a 911 while on a totally wet Green Hell!
