Nurburgring is only around $30 per lap, and that for 14ish miles. I rented a car, and did 6-7 laps (about 100 miles) for around $700. So, overall, not bad for a once in a lifetime type of thing (well, second time for me). I was in Europe for work, so I did not have to pay for travel, food, accommodations, etc. which helped.

Anyway, Infineon is a great track, and looks like a lot of fun. I would love to do a track day on it. I am in Northern Cal all the time for work, but I don't ever have my car.... Maybe I will come out for a month or so, and drive my car sometime so I can do a track day there. If I could find some way to knock out Laguna Seca and Infineon, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Their hands must have been tired from waving you forward so you can pass them

Great stuff - thanks for sharing!
Do you have an oil cooler? If not, you will need one of those too!

I did a HOD event last fall at Poconos on the long track & had a blast in my Vert until oil temp caused the car to go into limp mode.

Here is my track day thread

I'd love to have an E63. That or a CTS-V will be in my garage one day.

Great shots. Looks like you had a blast!
