The 'Ring

The Holy Grail for every automotive enthusiast out there. I drove it last September in my rental Citroen C5, 110hp diesel, 0-60 in 13 seconds with a top speed of 110mph. I spent most of the time looking in my mirrors for cars like the Porsche GT3 RS, M5, sport bikes, etc. While I was driving the slowest piece of crap out there, I DID manage to pass 3 cars! Well, aside from the 5 wrecked cars and 4 crashed motorcycles on the 4 laps I did.

Oh, I also passed the Ring Taxi! It’s a BMW M5 (500hp sedan for those of you that don’t know) driven by professional drivers that takes people for a ride; I think it’s 250 euro for 3 passengers for one lap. Well, I passed it because it was stopped on the side of the track. Apparently… one of the passengers got sick.

Below is the price sheet for renting decent cars to take on the ‘Ring. The prices are for a half day or full day with the mileage limitations. The rental place is roughly 10km from the entrance to the track (or rather, toll way). Needless to say, you do not want to wad up one of those cars. It’d cost 5k or 10k euro depending on which car you wrecked.
