Put a turbo in your car and strip it out. Decap the injectors too with new spark plugs. That should wake your car up

Buy some secondhand gear and a cheap motorcycle like an sv650. Not powerful enough to kill you but it'll be more fun than any car you can afford to crash. Plus you can give top tier sports cars a run

can you come pick up a balkanfag, i'll be glad to accompany you on your suicidal death trip

i'm not interested in bikes*, maybe with exception of dirt bikes (which won't work on the track). I don't want to 'just' go fast, i want all of the fun that comes from driving the car. Huge, clunky machine that runs on its own is somehow more appealing for me than bike which i'm 'riding' in every sense of the word. I mean, i'd gladly ride a bike on burgerking, but my perfect trip is definitely in the car.

sorry, balkans are way too far away. Eastern europe here, i could come to nurburg in one day if i'll drive ~15h.
shit, i think i'll do it in my shitbox this year. i'll pay, like, 1/10 of miata nb price for the trip, but i really feel like it's something i should do in my life. If running 80kmph in the forest makes me happy, going 140 in the legendary track i've only experienced in racing sims so far should make me happy enough to spend this money.

you must be aware that crashing on nurburgring costs you $ 20k before going there.

yeah, i'm also aware that they charge even for bringing sand on the track if you fall out. my car isn't capable of going fast enough to fuck myself up, and i'm rather careful driver. It's not like i'm going to push my car to the limits for the best time possible, besides i'd be afraid at first that brakes would melt or tyres would overheat.

If (when?) i'll get there, i'm going to spend two or three days, first i'd take some get-to-know laps - then, after learning things like how people behave on the track, or how far can i push my shitbox before it malfunctions, i'd gradually go faster (at least, as fast as my car allows me to). I'm very sensible human being, i think.

That being said, my entire going fast experience is karting and webm related, doing stupid shit in the forest roads. But i'll get better after some (calm) laps for sure.

do it. i went last month. 10/10 trip, would drive 500 miles each way to lap the ring with other /o/tists again.

our squad might have had less hp in total than the lambo that was parked near us but it's not about that, you can still have plenty of fun whatever you take there. driver skill, track knowledge and willingness to push the limits counts for more than outright car performance when it comes to lap times (though i'd recommend you don't try and push the limits if you're new to the ring)

when we went there were loads of porsches, a few exotics and some other shitboxes.

>>17365434
slow zones will put as much a dent in your lap times as traffic will. on the morning when we were there, there were at least 3 yellow flags from separate incidents (breakdown, car in the barriers, suicidal deer)

>>17366033
depends how badly you crash

Reassuring, thanks. Since you were there, is the track payment/getting in "intuitive", or do i need to know german language or someone to bring me in?

I really, really don't want angry german to scream german words at me in some payment box as i stand helplessly in front of seemingly infinite queue of cars with increasingly irritated drivers inside

get the nurburgring app on your phone and pay for your laps before you go. the app will generate a QR code that you swipe at the gate. the only challenge i had was that my car is RHD so my passenger had to swipe it for me.

alternatively you can pay for laps at the ticket office when you're there if you prefer that.
