Lann 10,846 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 A few of my friends are thinking of doing something fun together, we all like cars and might try and find somewhere to race or test cars. Any ideas of similar things to do in Europe? Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10630-place-to-race-cars-in-europe/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

starmonkeykiller 493 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Used to race a few "toys" around an an abandoned airfield and a farm field after the crop had been harvested. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10630-place-to-race-cars-in-europe/#findComment-155262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,404 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Actually racing or track days? Nordschleife is the obvious choice for track days, but the casual driver with no knowledge of Nordschleife will struggle to get the quickest of road cars around there in less than 10 minutes, so there might be a long wait for your turn to run a lap or two if you're in a group A single lap is 29 Euro, but the more laps/time you buy is the better value you'll get in return http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/prices.php Prices for other stuff at race tracks are worth double-checking before committing, there are costs for almost everything, recovery truck, damaging the barriers, etc. Zandvoort (Netherlands) and Zolder (Belgium) are also good alternatives. Much smaller track layout = more laps on track.

Lann 10,846 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thanks, I was looking for the " do i really get to try that car " experience more than a competitive racing. I will read up on the tips! Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10630-place-to-race-cars-in-europe/#findComment-155285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fido_le_muet 5,198 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Every year at Le Mans there's an event where you can try out some nice toys around the Bugatti Circuit. Things like Mercedes AMG GT, Porsche 911, Audi R8... It's called Exclusive Drive. It's in march but it's expensive... Almost 300€ a day for about 40 minutes of racing.. Or cheaper alternative, there are gifts box you can buy where you can try some cars but it's usually 3 laps max. Costs between 70 and 150€ and it's usually at small racetracks. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10630-place-to-race-cars-in-europe/#findComment-155286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
silenttigercd 863 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) I did one a few years ago with http://www.everymanracing.co.uk/ who run days throughout the UK Drove a Nissan GTR and a slow (by comparison) Aston Martin. Reasonably priced and fun! EDIT: Also went to Mercedes test drive day where they had their crazy AMGs available. That was fun too and they didn't try too hard to sell them. Maybe it helps to look poor Definitely worth inquiring about.

Fido_le_muet 5,198 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Good thought tiger. @Lann, I'm sure you can try out some cars from a local dealership. Although it won't be on a racetrack.

Beez 5,091 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 @Fido_le_muet did you ever do the car thing where you were debating a super car thing or a rally car thing as well as a few others? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10630-place-to-race-cars-in-europe/#findComment-155315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford1872 2,587 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 have a look on the web there's loads, few of my mates have ridden bikes on track days in Italy not sure about cars though, also slightly off topic but there's a place pretty close to me where you can drive fucking tanks haha https://www.giftexperiencescotland.com/driving-vouchers/tank-driving-scotland/ 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10630-place-to-race-cars-in-europe/#findComment-155316 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet, I still have the gift box though and I need to book something before march 2017. I have made my choice though and I will go drive a couple laps at Le Mans Maison Blanche Circuit in an Audi R8, Gallardo or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10630-place-to-race-cars-in-europe/#findComment-155318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fido_le_muet 5,198 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 @Beez : Here's the website : http://www.motorsport-academy.fr/stage-pilotage-circuit/le-mans/ It's actually a lot cheaper than I thought ! And a lot of cars available ! Of course, the coupon I have will be the cheapest option available but it's still pretty cool @Lann : are you looking for something like this ? If you happen to come to Le Mans to have your fun, I'll definitely join you. I live 1 hour from Le Mans Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10630-place-to-race-cars-in-europe/#findComment-155321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
