Might not be what you are looking for but yes I have been a few years ago, I used to race cars and won a Day driving the "Ring" it was absolutely fantastic, I was tutored and certainly learned some good points.
I think I am looking back about 17 - 20 years ago.

I havent been but one of my pals has. Be careful. Mike and James when there in Mikes Merc estate. Mike went to get some chips while James took his Merc around the ring without him. This was the result.
Hi,
We were there 2010 - its a huge place and they were installing a Disney style ride through the main concourse !!!!!
You need to take the official tour to get to see around the backstage areas and up onto the rooftop viewing area of the main building
Its not a place (the track) that you can wander round but for a few euro you can drive your camper round the circuit
There is a stellplatz close by behind a hotel/bar I think it ia called the sporting bar?
Also not a bad walk into the village and up to the castle

Lucy 2 is our motorhome, Lucy 1 was a 45ft Narrowboat sold for Lucy 2. Lucy was a German Shepherd female the love of my life ( after the wife of course)
highest cost is if your accident causes the track to be closed whilst your wreck is cleared!!!

Hi,
Yes its the motorsporthotel - new it was something to do with sport
If you are aiming for the stellplatz try getting there early, its full at weekends
Park up and then you pay at the hotel bar
Not sure if the "ring taxi" is still running and if Sabine Schmitz still drives it but if it is? well worth a go as it will be 8 mins of underpant ripping pleasure
Despite having fast cars and a bike or two I don't think I'm up to doing it justice. A biker friend goes every year for two weeks just to practice, trying to learn a new section each year on his current R1. The last time he went every evening there was a Volvo estate who did a few laps on his way home from work, and this was way faster than him for most of the circuit just because the car knew where he was going. I know anything including tourist buses do go round, but I don't agree with that.
" Most Ringers are happy to offer passenger laps, but if you want to see how it really should be done, BMW runs a "Ring Taxi" service from April to October where you can take a ride around the Nurburgring with one of its drivers in an M3. Tickets cost €195 per car and can be booked with the Nurburgring directly (link below). Split three ways this is good value considering the cost to BMW of running the service is reputed to be over €400 per lap. You used to be able to book with BMW, but their site didn't have the facility to buy tickets last time I checked.
The taxis get booked up a year in advance, but it is worthwhile checking for cancellations nearer the time, especially when the weather is wet because some people just cancel their trip to the Nurburgring and you can take their place. It's also worth trying to buy a space in a car that's not full.
