Driving The Nurburgring

  Driving the Nurburgring for the first time
1. Park in the car park and take in your surrounding and the atmosphere for at least 15 mins
2. Buy a single lap ticket for your first lap
3. If you have one wear a helmet even in cars
4. When YOU are ready head for the barriers and start your first lap. When you leave the coned area your off, and remember keep checking your mirrors for faster cars, move over to RIGHT to let them pass (even in right hand corners), use your indicators (right) to let them know, YOU KNOW they are coming past.
5. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT use a stop watch or any form of timing for your lap. One: it’s not allowed and 2: every car that crashes as some form of timing the lap in it. (If you are caught timing yourself you will be banned)
6. Video recording of your lap is not allowed and Nurburgring staff will stop you going onto the track if they see any cameras (You may also get banned from the track).
7. You may come across slow moving traffic on your lap (coaches, slow moving recovery trucks, etc...). Be ready to slow down.
8. If you see waved yellow flags slow right down the track may be blocked, Remember there may not be flags at every accident. You can come over a blind brow and find a wreck in the middle of the track. You need to keep your wits about yourself.
9. Remember 1 lap is 13 miles long, if you brake hard at every corner your brakes may not last a full lap without fading. Take care. Keep an eye on your engines temp, oil etc... If you think something is wrong slow down or stop, don’t drop fluids onto the track under any circumstances
10. Take a rest between laps; it’s amazing how tiring driving the ring can be.
