Does anyone know if they still hold any races on the old Nordschliefe circuit? I remember a few years ago seeing a German touring car 24 hour race there (They had some great in-car shots, mainly because of not many cameras!) - Michael

i dont know if they still hold racaes there , but ive heard u can bring your own car and drive it round the track for a surprisingly small fee

You can indeed - and there are not many rules apart from you must have road-legal silencers on your vehicle. Just about anything else goes. - Michael
Hi there, there are still Races hold at the Nordschleife, the 24hrs Endurance Race and the Veedol-Langstreckenpokal, an Endurance Race Series with about 6 Races, each about 500 km long. And at Eifel Klassik in September you can see 1930's Mercedes SSK's screaming around the 'ring. This is absolutely incredible greetings from Koblenz, Germany Staabi Michael schrieb in Nachricht

Uh, what's that in 'Yankee' dollars? <g> Like if I could afford to GO to Germany, I'd complain about the price of admission... :)
Hi Michael, There is a German Touring Car race at the old ring called: " The Nrnburgring 1000 km " Yes 1000 and not 100 :-) It's a bit like Le Mans, but the Le Mans circuit is not impressive...

Believe me once you had driven a lap you wouldn't be complaining! Probably about 10 dollars? Worth doing if you can get to germany!
