The Ring

"The ring" is a track steeped in legend surrounding Formula 1. As the F1 cars became too fast, the track became too dangerous. But somehow these days, it's not too dangerous for you and I. So Any old hoon can head to the ring, strap on some basic safety gear and go for an all out time attack on this lengthy track that snakes it way through the picturesque German countryside.

The Nurburg ring allows users to buy lap tickets and head onto the circuit a lot like your local McDonalds drive through. 1 please... 10 seconds later your surpassing the speed limit and heading down towards the half way point at the carousel, travelling over 300kph+ straights and tight twisting, undulations.

Is it the ultimate road? Well it's arguably one of them. The shear fact that no-one is coming the other way and you don't need to worry about the cops is enough for me to say its the ultimate road.

As you complete your run on this awesome track. You may have the chance to paint your name on the circuit. Its one of the trademarks of the place. As you drive over everyones calling cards, think about the countless others who have driven the Nurburg ring. Maybe one day I'll get there to paint it in person, until then its PS2 for me.
