Hello and welcome mate, my tip is going to be, take out european cover with ADAC, im not usually one for extra cover etc, however whilst over there recently a friend had a timing belt slip! anyway his car is getting brought back to the uk, if i had not being able to give him a lift they would have put him on a plane, Cover is a bout £60 thats my tip, if you go have a great time

It's worth having a passenger to keep and eye on the mirrors when going round just keeping you aware of cars behind you!

I was there last weekend, did a few laps in me trophy. All I'd say is treat it as a spirited sunday morning drive. As Danny said always good to take a passeger as a pair of eyes, I did. Also makesure your car is free of un nessersary items when your going round. Every lap I went on there was an incident of some sort but just tap your time an you'll be fine

do a few sighting laps so you know the track roughly, quite a few misconceiving corners to catch you out, go at a pace your comfortable with don't let it turn in to a race keep within your limits

Agree with everything said just a few more pointera

Sign up to northloop.co.uk its a wealth of info nurburgring wise
Watch literally hundreds of youtube vids preferably of a car around the same speed so maybe watch plenty of clio/twingo laps
Play it on forza 4 for the next few weeks and learn ideal line. Gamesvare not like the real thing but you can at least learn which way thee track goes.
Take it really steady first few laps sitting at 60mph the whole way round would be just as beneficial as going for it.
Try not to get into a race with slower cars! Guy in his 1.0 fieata could well annihilate you through the bends.

Have fun!
