While no official details about the RS5 have been made public, it appears as though there are now a few pre-production examples getting around. Here is a clip of what is believed to be an RS5 lapping the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The deeper lower vents on the front grille certainly indicate this is an RS5 model, [...]
Today AUSringers celebrates its first birthday. Here’s to it being the first of many. I’ve certainly enjoyed the first year of my blogging career and I trust I have passed on some of that enjoyment to the readers of AUSringers and AUSmotive. Thanks for the support of the readers out there, I hope next year [...]
Some people have all the fun. And driving a Nissan GT-R around a snow covered Nordschleife sure looks like fun. This really is a thousand miles away from my world at the moment, here in Australia the temps are hovering around 35°C. Ironically, this clip runs for almost the exact time of the GT-R’s famed [...]
I know there are quite a few fans of Mal Rose Racing and their V8 Supercar among the AUSringers readership. So, you’ll all be pleased to know that Mal is firing on all cylinders preparing himself for this year’s Nürburgring 24 hour race. Mal and his team recently competed at the Dubai 24 hour and [...]
There’s not too many better clips out there that capture the excitement of the Nordschleife than this one. You get a feeling of the speed, the rise and fall of the track, some great in car action and all set to some cheesy Euro haus musik. The best part, though, is the epic airtime captured [...]
The 2009 dates for Touristenfahrten days at the Nürburgring Nordschleife have just been released on the official website. These dates are crucial for all Ringers planning their next trip, however, they are subject to late change, so best keep an eye on them throughout the year. The dates can be accessed HERE.
Ben Lovejoy is looking for a buyer to take over his iconic website. It is probably best to quote Ben’s own words from his site on announcing these plans: “This website is the most comprehensive and popular Ring site on the web, and maintaining it for the last nine years has been a labour of [...]
Whenever I see snow at the Ring on the webcam it always reminds me of this video. It’s one of my most favourite clips from the Nürburgring. The Nordschleife to yourself. A Porsche 911 Carrera at your disposal. Could life get any better?! (The snow drifting starts about 1 minute into the clip.)
Details of Nissan’s GT-R Spec V were released today (see AUSmotive for full story). Along with that announcement comes this video showing the Spec V in full flight around the Ring. No mention of lap times though. While some details have been confirmed, nothing official has been mentioned on increased power figures. The modifications made [...]
More great highlights of DTM at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, to go with the 1992 clip—this time with English commentary. Klaus Ludwig again features prominently, but he was no match for the V6 powered Alfa Romeo 155 driven by former F1 racer Nicola Larini. Another familiar name is that of Olof Manthey, who has been keeping [...]
Sometimes I get emails from readers of AUSringers that make me want to scream. I mean this in the nicest possible way, of course. I don’t want to scream because they have frustrated me, or because they have done anything wrong. I want to scream simply for the experiences they have lived. Today was one [...]

There is some superb footage in this YouTube clip featuring the 1992 DTM races on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Most of the action focuses on Klaus Ludwig in his Mercedes-Benz and Johnny Cecotto driving a BMW M3. The racing is tight, the scenery picturesque and, of course, the track is brilliant!
