Incredible experience. I rented the Cayman GT4 for 3 laps and then did the ring taxi. I never drove like this before (track or car) so the first lap was lethargic. By the third lap, I was getting the queues and seeing the lines, but then it was over. Lots of accidents that day and one the required closing the track for 30 minutes. It made for getting to the ring taxi a little challenging, since the track has limited opening hours. I thought it would be a once and done bucket list item, but I need to go back and buy my own Porsche. read more

Please excuse my English - my German is insufficient to write this review: Rent RaceCar gave me one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I rented a coupe racecar from here to drive on Nurburgring and it is something I will never forget. During our trip in the EU, we drove to Nurburgring to rent a race car from RentRaceCar - and race on the infamous 70+ blind turn race track that stretches beyond 20km. I rented a 318i racecar, but apparently a renter wrecked it on the track the week before - so I was upgraded to a 120i. I thought that was cool so i could show more skillllzzzz.... Especially since the owner of Rent RaceCar would give me a free instruction lap around the track. There were 5 of us renting that day - so before getting into my car - the owner gave 5 of us newbies a test run in his personal diesel station wagon he uses for running errands.... (psshh - slow assed diesels). The intent was to "show us the lines" of the track. I was thinking: - Great! i can pay attention and try and absorb this and be able to hold some more speed on the track. We all piled into the car and he goes onto the Ring... speeds up on the 1st straight... keeps speeding up, keeps speeding up.... doesn't stop speeding up as we're about to go into the 1st turn (which is a blind turn - so I can't see the exit... like most of the turns on this course). I was like this (O_O) the whole lap. He'd enter turns, sweep in tight right to the apex - as you hear the tires SCREAMING as we're pulled out wide to the very edge of the track when exiting the turns. 1st turn I thought we'd be flying off the track as we skidded to the outside of the course. (All the while - he's talking to us with 1 hand on his steering wheel about how annoying motorbikes can be because they don't use their mirrors to move aside when being passed - which is required by Ring rules). This continued for all 70+ turns on the track. (It was kind of like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR5XyHtI9Ew) When he caught up to the bikes, just as he said - they didn't move aside, so he'd tailgate them through the turns so closely (there was one that we were within 2-3 inches of - I could just about count the friggin treads on the rear tire of the bike and i thought they'd start rubbing off on our bumper). I think the biker was crapping his pants there. haha! We'd eventually pass them all despite the bikers trying to fend the diesel wagon off to try and save some shred of pride. That guy has serious skills, he passed every sport bike, and many of the Porsches, BMW M's, etc on that track.... in a diesel VW wagon!!!! Those light fast motorbikes were being blown away by this guy in his station wagon filled w/ 5 dudes!!! Going out by myself on the track was fun - but clearly not as fast as Mr Rent RaceCar.. hah I got passed by almost every car out there. BUUUT!!! By my 4th lap, I was able to pass 3 cars ! Yessssss!!!! (It was a small victory, but a victory none the less!!!) haha - what an experience! read more

My experience is just like Andrew's. Forget the Ring Taxi, Theo (the owner) gives you a much better ride around Der Ring. You expect an M5 driven by an ex-champion to be fast, so you go into it prepared, but when you hop into this old man's VW diesel sedan expecting an easy lap, you get blind-sided. He drives faster than anyone out there in that thing and will turn around and talk to the passengers in the back seat while taking corners!! He had this car with 5 guys in it up on two wheels!!!!!! I too rented the 318i, and I was worried that it would be too slow for this veteran SCCA racer, but I was wrong. Their cars are set up beautifully for this track. I was passed by 1 car throughout my 4 laps - a Porsche 911 turbo....1 car!!! I had a fantastic driving experience. And since I was the last to return for the day, I ended up having dinner with Theo and his wife. Very, very nice people!!!! read more

I rented a Toyota GT 86 for a half day. It was my first time driving the track. The safety briefing covered the rules of the road and etiquette, and a "be safe" message that came off as "have fun" instead of something that my mother would say. Driving the ring is like losing your virginity while skydiving. It's performance anxiety mixed with untold eagerness and anticipation, plus the real and actual fear of a truly horrible death. And in the end, it was an adrenaline rush like no others. Unfortunately, there was a very serious accident and the track was closed several hours early, after I'd only completed 3 laps. The owners refunded the half day and charged me for the 3-lap package. There's plenty of "non-refundable" and "out of our control" arguments that could have won the day, but they were fair and charged me for what I actually used. They really didn't have to do that, but I appreciate that they were cool about it. I'll go back in a heartbeat. read more

Definite bucket list item whether you do a taxi ride or rent a car. We did a taxi and it was an amazing experience. Not cheap, but worth every penny! You'll get out of the car and won't believe that what just happened was legal to do with passengers. Owner / driver was great as well as all of the staff who answered my e-mails in advance of the trip and on-site. I would do it again in a second! read more
