Aston Martin Driving : Nurburgring Driving Academy

I know what I want to do should I find myself in Nurburgrin, Germany! 


Little sparks my interest outside the islands but the though of this is thrilling!  Many who go on European vacations are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For driving enthusiasts, it doesn't get much better than touring the famed Nurburgring track in Germany, the site of many legendary races throughout history. But thanks to a new initiative from Aston Martin, visitors won't just get to see the track, but race on it.

Nurburgring, not far from Frankfurt, attracts racing fans throughout the world. According to MotorTrend, the company has opened the new Nurburgring Driving Academy at their trackside test center. Travelers who pay for lessons will be allowed to get behind the wheel of a car and experience the thrills of track racing. Once drivers pass certain benchmarks, demonstrating their skills and ability, they'll be unleashed on the full 13.5-mile track that has become famous around the world.

"The course underlines both essential elements of Aston Martin driving: road safety and track etiquette," said Wolfgang Schubauer, director of Aston Martin's Nürburgring test center. "We intend that each owner will leave with a clear understanding of their driving skills and a heightened sense of reaction and control."

Even if drivers can't make the trek to Nurburgring, they might want to look into some of Aston Martin's other driving academies, which have popped up across the world.
