BMW M3 Rennstrecken training at the Nürburgring

jollerbarn · 04-25-2009, 10:31 AM

Hi,

On the 19th - 21st of April 2009 I along with a few others had the pleasure of taking part in the BMW M3 Rennstrecken Training at the Nürburgring. We had one evening of theory lessons and then two full days on the ring which consisted of section training and full pace car laps. On each day we'd do about 4-5 hours of section training and then we'd proceed to do pace car laps for another 2-2½ hours. We had a lot of fun, and we did about 1100kms of driving in just two days. As you can imagine we were pretty hammered afterwards

Anyway, here are som pictures of us, the track, our great instructor Bernd Limmer out of M division and of course the Nürburgring along with beautiful German Eiffel scenery around it.

I can highly recommend this experience.. it really was amazing.

this is what im planning to do either this fall or next spring. Totally awesome. I still have to do my high speed course on local track after I got out the basic training-winter training course just last month.

how much was this one? 2000 euros? was it 1 car = 1 driver or 1 car = 2 drivers?

Really? You don't see the resemblance? Looks identical to Ewan in Long Way Down/Round to me. I might need to get my eyes checked

Sorry, I don't recall that movie. I purged the prequel SW trilogy and the second two Matrix movies from my mind after seeing them so no memories.

Anyways, OP, I love both sets of pictures you have. Reminds me of my time on Nurburgring!

Approx. 2000£ for the course. I'm not sure if that includes hotel since I paid a total package with plane tickets etc.

1 car = 2 drivers. We'd take turns. And believe, you use those driver swaps to get out of the car and watch. The track is nauseating as a passenger
