Yep, Jasin is right, the Nuerburgring is great. It's open to the public
for a nominal fee per lap...
With that said, it's also incredibly dangerous... which is the reason it
was closed for races to begin with. Kind of insane that the Nordschleife
was determined to be too dangerous for racing, so they opened it to the
untrained public...
Either case, it's worth doing a lap. Just be sure to do it when there
aren't a lot of other people around. The track can get very congested --
and when you have 1960s VW Buses on the same track with E46 BMW M3s, there
are some serious speed differentials... Just be careful!

Probably the most famous track in the world that operates as a toll road
certain times of the day and test track others. Pay your fee (less than

You can also make reservations and take a ride with a professional in a
