The Nürburgring Review – in a rental car

Let me assure you, one lap simply won’t be anywhere near satisfying enough. This hallowed stretch of tarmac is positively addictive.

If you really want to get to know the place, master ring driver Ron Simons from RSR says you’ll need to clock up well over 100 laps just to be mildly familiar with the 170 plus corners and dramatic shifts in elevation.

But if you haven’t freighted your own supercar to Germany, there are still one or two ways to get your backside trackside.

RSR Nurburg is the premier track rental house here in Nurburg, where you can rent anything from the tiny Renault Sport Twingo RS to a McLaren Supercar. The Twingo will cost you €159 for four laps, excluding fuel and lap tickets, while the Mp4-12C costs €2695 for the minimum six laps.

The full list of available cars is both extensive and impressive; Renault Clio RS200, Volkswagen Scirocco, Toyota GT86, Renault Megane RS265, BMW M135i F21, BMW M235i, Mini Cooper S JCW, BMW M3 E36, BMW M3 E92 V8, Lotus Exige Cup 260, Alfa Romeo 4C, Porsche Cayman S, Porsche Cayman GT4, Nissan GT-R and the Porsche GT3 991 PDK.

If you’re coming from Australia or the UK, RSR Nurburg also have a decent selection of right-hand drive cars should you not be comfortable driving a left-hand drive vehicle.

They also cater for classic car enthusiasts with a collection that includes an Alfa Romeo Giulia Super ’72, Alfa Romeo Spider 2000, Alfa Romeo 75 V6, Mercedes-Benz 230SL ’66, Lancia Delta Integrale, Ferrari 308 GTS QV ’83, Lotus Eprit Turbo SE ’91 and Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 ’77.
