Evening all. I’m heading over to Germany in July to have a little mini driving holiday. I’m picking up an i8 roadster in Frankfurt and I’m going to drive around the Rhine Valley. I’m also going to spend at least one day at the Nürburgring and was hoping that someone here may have some tips on how to get the most out of it. Obviously Sixt are going to look down on me driving their 180 grand hire car on the ring so I am planning on renting something more suitable for when I get there. There isn’t a huge amount of choice and prices seem to be relatively high but I’m hoping somebody here might be able to recommend a place where they had personal experience.

If you have any tips or info that you think might help on the ring and the surrounding areas I’d really appreciate it.
