As part of my coming business trip to Germany I'll have the opportunity to take a day to head to the 'Ring. I'm planning to do the Renault Clio 200 rental, but other than that I truthfully only know what most of us have heard.
If any of you have tourist days experience, by all means share any and all advice. The trips is roughly a month away, but as some things should be booked ahead of time I wanted to get the ball rolling.
If you have a game console, buy a game that has the ring as a track. Drive it to learn the corners.

Don't crash.
Good luck out there!!!!!!

I have heard from Ring instructors that this is the worst thing you can do. It gives you false confidence at the ring. The instructors cringe when someone goes “O I learned the track of GT5”. From what they say for practice, is to go and drive a mountain pass or twisty country road. There is a lot of blind corner after blind corner, so unless you have been around those corners 1000 times there is no way to really know it.
I was told from the same source that Rent4Ring is the best way to experience the ring. Check the website out. http://www.rent4ring.de/en/

Don't crash, they charge for trucks, posts and steel barrier by the foot. And don't even think of taking a regular rental car on the ring, the spotters will bust you and you'll wish you hadn't. Have fun.
