Hi everyone,
I wanna share with you my latest experience. I had been waiting for years to finally go to the Nürbürgring and I’ve now done it.
It took us around 7 hours to drive from Geneva, Switzerland, but it was worth it.
At first, I wanted to go with my own car, Seat Leon Cupra St 300 4Drive, but I didn’t manage to get it insured so I had to rent one.
As my only experience with the track was on Gran Turismo, I wanted one of the least powerful cars Front wheel driven I could find.
I was supposed to get a Hyundai I20N from ringtoys, but someone crashed it before my arrival. Instead they gave me a Renault Megane RS Trophy 275
I did 2 laps of the ring with a 15 minutes break in between. I can now say that I’m really happy I knew every part of the track by heart after years of Gran Turismo or Project Cars, but still I wasn’t prepared for such madness.
During my 2 laps, I only overtook 2 cars, an rs6 c6 v10 and and probably a first gen 130i. I got overtaken at least 15 times and the speed differential was crazy. It wasn’t only the 911 gt3 and m3 but also least powerful cars. It was very humbling.
I consider myself a good driver, but I couldn’t trust the car enough to really look for its limits which are supposed to be really high. It was also difficult to manage the circulation flow on such a tight track with so many ondulations and curves.
Overall I really loved the experience as it was really scary and unforgettable.
Have you ever been to the ring? If so how was your experience?
