This track is legendary!!!! They still use it, but not the original 12 miles....Cool fact, all four seasons can be experience in the course of 1 lap.

Would love to rent an E30 M3 to take a few laps around it. That would be a blast. Maybe some year.

Just my thoughts, but the straights would give a rally car issues because of the tall gearing they use to create wheel spin and acceleration. I think they would top out way before the end of some of those straights. |

If I ever hit the lottery or something, first thing I'm gonna do is go to a school and learn how to drive the PISS out of some fast cars.
Then I'm going to call up Porsche and order a 911... maybe a GT2 RS or a Turbo... have it all custom made, and go to Stuttgart and watch 'em build it. Then I'm gonna drive that fucker to the Nurburgring and tear it up on the track. Probably after breaking it in around Europe for a while. Then I have a couple friends I'd fly out there, buy them whatever car they want, and we'd all go out to the 'ring. Fuck yeah. |

Take it down to Munich and than up to Nurnberg - you most likely will ship it from Bremen or Hamburg. |

The only negative about the 'ring is that they refuse to allow bikes to lap the entire course length. They make the bikes run a shorter course to that punks on $4,000 5 year old 750's don't embarrass the Supercar Mafia.

The 1939 Mercedes-Benz W 154 Silver Arrow I photographed was at Lime Rock 2 years ago - and yes, it was worth several million dollars. The owner had a pro take it out and run it at speed during lunch. Ballsy - very ballsy. As far as Auto Union - no-one that owns one appears nutty enough to actually run them on the tracks I go to. Audi commissioned several reproductions that run at vintage events from time to time. |

Vintage races aren't "BS". They certainly beat the tar out of poseurs standing around garage queens parked at a show. If you don't like vintage races - don't attend them. 2. If you want action photos from 1936-39 I'm sure enough research and/or money on your part will turn them up. |
