It has been almost two years ago, but one of the best trips I have ever taken was to Germany with my business partner Steve Patti.  We had just embarked on developing a country club concept for Central Texas.  Not a typical country club, but a motorsport resort country club.  It is called the Bergrennenring.  As such ,we were able to secure an appointment with Hermann Tilke – world renowned F1 track designer from Aachen, Germany.  At the meeting he agreed to do the design work for the tracks and offered to have us come out and watch him race his Lamborghini at the Nurburgring.

For those who don’t know, the Ring (as most call it) is an epic 24.4 km circuit (including the 3.6km F1 portion designed by Tilke).  It is amazing.  While I did not get to drive or ride on the course, we did get to watch some top notch enduro racing from multiple vantage points.

Here is a video of the course as seen from the drivers perspective -

 

And here is what a Porsche 996 GT3 RS looks like
