Ouch! This once proud owner of a new KTM X-bow has had a massive dent to his pride, and his wallet after crashing into the barrier on the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife. A report in The Sun suggests the driver lost control, slid on two wheels before hitting the barrier. The car then ran across the top [...]
Blaise Paris has just posted an excellent report of his Nürburgring experience in the Your Story section. I recommend you read it, as he has really managed to capture the thrill, excitement and trepidation of driving your first laps around the Nordschleife. Blaise took a 135i from Rent-RaceCar.de (3 series pictured above) and seemed to [...]
This is a question Dale Lomas from RSR Nürburg asked himself on his BridgeToGantry website. It’s a great read.

While Bellof’s pole winning time of 6:11.13 is regarded as only an unofficial record, his fastest lap recorded during the race of [...]
VLN racing provides some great in-car footage for Nürburgring fans and this clip is no exception. The origin of the car’s engine, however, provides a bit of a mis-matched tale. The story goes it was sourced from an old Abt entered DTM Audi TT. So it’s an Audi V8 engine then. Well, no, its a [...]
On the weekend of 23-24 August the Nürburgring was closed to ‘normal’ traffic for the annual Rad am Ring / Run am Ring event where participants cycle and run around the Nordschleife. There are a variety of classifications open to competitors of all ages and skill levels. What better way to see the Grünne Holle [...]
*updated pricing below* The Karussell is one of the Nordschleife’s most famous corners—and not just because of the Australian flag painted on the armco! The Karussell is bumpy as all hell and you never forget the first time you take a car around the corner. To help keep those memories fresh you can now have [...]
