So I just drove the Nurburgring

[WhipCat]

Well boys, I went across the great ocean, traversed the mountains and rivers of Europe to find the craziest track in all of the world.

I surprised my dad with a gift for Father’s Day to Europe to drive the famous Spa Francorchamps and the famous Nurburgring.

it has been an amazing trip. And I got to finally get on the Nurburgring today for some practice sessions.

all I can say, is that this is one of the craziest and most amazing tracks I have ever driven in my life. My dad and I are having an absolute blast.

if you ever get a chance to come out to Europe, try and make the budget and time to try this track. It is crazy. We will be racing Spa tomorrow and then the Nurburgring for two more days after.

words cannot express the feeling of being on this track other than to try it yourself.

thought I would share with you guys, most of you only know me from these short posts. Others know me in person. I work my ass off to be able to pull off such an experience. I’m not some rich asshole born with a golf club up his ass. This was all hard work to get here, and even harder to give my dad such a gift.

I’ll post pics and hopefully video along the way.


cheers

Phillip

literally went on the autobahn for about 2 hours straight. My dad and I averaged 200kph

top was 285 kph

What a fuckin insane drive!! Wow!! Holy shit.

has to be the coolest thing ever in a car.

Didn’t even know this was a bucket list, but it absolutely is and was.

I see they have "round-a-bouts" aka circles of insanity over there.

No VWs left. Only Audis and a Porsche.

Anyway, we've both spent time in Germany, but that was before we met.

The freeways here are amazing. Makes the US roads looks like a bombed out road in Afghanistan compared. And yeah no speed limit. Aaaaand. People move the fuck over in the fast lane. Like everyone

we run Spa tomorrow

Very true. I love driving the autobahn, for all the reasons you mentioned: high speed, smooth surface, and rare left-lane squatters. Unfortunately, it does have speed limits on a lot of it. You don't even notice when you drive over a bridge; it is melded so well to the rest of the road. They have insanely high gas tax, but at least they use it to maintain the roads.
