Nurburgring trip
TODAY I ACOMPLISH ON OF MY DREAMS I DRIVE TO THE RING IN GERMANY AND DID 2 LAPS ON MY VR RX8. IT WAS A 4 HOUR DRIVE FROM MY HOUSE BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH. IT WAS SO MANY PEOPLE TRACKING THAT MY FIRST LAP I GOT SCARE OF LAMBOS , PORCHES, GTR PASSING FLYING BESIDE ME CLOSE ENOUGH TO THINK I WAS GETTING HIT, BUT ON THE 2 LAP I DRIVE MORE CONFIDENT. 
IM GOING AGAIN SOON BEFORE SNOW START FALLING AND TRACK CLOSE FOR THE SEASON. PICS ARE UP OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN.. ENJOY

The ring taxi is like 180 euro and can take 3 people around the track in the M5 with a pro driver. There is also a Aston Martin that is another ring taxi

FWIW: Rental costs example....
1/2 day rental of Porsche 911 Carrera 996 ~ $1075 USD
single lap ticket ~ $33 USD
4 lap ticket ~ $112 USD
8 lap ticket ~ $216 USD
15 lap ticket ~ $373 USD
25 lap ticket ~ $581 USD
then you might want to consider insurance. many policies have clauses that in one manner or another exclude situations like the Ring. You can get track coverage for probably $350 USD a day for absolute minimal coverage

A local german Insurance company I made sure it covered everything. It also covers all my parts on the car so if I crash I don't have to worry about losing my *** in parts
