        I love the fact that this Touristenfahrt is permitted! Like, you wanna do it? Go for it! Nobody gonna tell you you can't do it!

        We used to be like that. Good times.

          It does look like a bit of an anachronism nowadays - similar to Mad Sunday, where the general public is allowed to ride the Isle of Man TT motorbike course.

          It's funny, the Nordschleife circuit of the Nürburgring was deemed too dangerous for Formula 1 back in the 1970's after Niki Lauda's horrendous accident, but they still let these eejits drive.

          I was only joking

            I drive the Nürburgring every time I hop into the sim rig. I usually drive a Lamborghini. But have also raced with a Porsche, Mercedes, Ferarri. Even a Mazda and a BMW off road, in the mountains.

            No need to waste use a real car. lol

                C'mon man, driving something like an 88 Volvo through that sumbitch would be absolutely rad.

                Please love yourself.

                  I've read stories about people driving the Ring and coming across just horrendous motorbike accidents. The bike riders are crazy.

                  I was only joking

                    Not sure why I have this. Actually, I do know. A UK friend is a big motorcycle person and one time during a get together at my place, he showed this video and left it here. Talk about scary!!!!!!!

                    I think the guy who was the rider and filmer eventually died in a crash on that course. Definitely a palm sweating view to watch it.

                    It is just crazy to see how fast these guys go and how narrow the roads are and how sharp the turns are and how close to the buildings, etc!!!!!! Crazy!!!

                    It would be fun to drive it (slowly) to see it.

                      Thanks, TG. You can see the race she refers to at

                      Link to video

                      There's some palaver in the beginning; the actual race starts at 1?26.

                        The Isle of Man TT is an unbelievable race, and Joey Dunlop was an amazing guy.

                        We went there on holiday when I was a kid - it was a short ferry hop from where I grew up. The roads over the mountains are really narrow.
