If you hear it in regard to car testing, then typically they are referring to The Green Hell itself, the Nordschleife. History: See the Lamborghini Miura in all its glory. The current Nordschleife is nearly 13 miles long and has a total of turns. This coupled with a large number of elevation changes throughout the track has made it an almost impossible track for drivers to memorize.
Most of our cars do not require a deposit up front. A deposit is a sum of money paid before the rental, that is returned to the client upon a safe return of the car. Exceptions to this rule may apply in certain cases:. When we take a deposit, it is normally in the form of a hold on your credit card, which is released after the car is returned safely at the end of driving. We also accept cash or bank transfers as other options. Please make sure to have ability to provide a deposit if we request it.
You can drive the track in one of two ways: On a Touristenfahrten Public Driving session, or on a trackday. See the info below for what the difference is. Most people drive the track on a Touristenfahrten session, but trackdays have some very clear advantages.
In short, you can have an amazing experience on either type of day. Most people drive the track during the Toursitenfahrten sessions. This part of Germany has very distinctive seasons.
The driving season is generally from the start of March until the end of November, but this can change depending on weather at the time. The track is sometimes still open outside of these months, but opening times can be unpredictable.
The other thing to consider is: as the weather gets warmer during the main season, more people visit the ring. Insider secret 1 is to schedule your visit for the shoulder seasons, as the weather can still be very good, with a lot less cars on the track. Insider secret 2 is to come and drive during the evening sessions on the weekdays Monday — Thursday as the track is quieter since most people work during the week.
Insider secret 3 is to visit for multiple days in a row — that way, if the weather is a bit undesirable, or the track closes early due to an accident, you can continue driving on the next day.
The hint is in the name: The Green Hell is green, because it rains quite often here. During the main season the weather is more consistently warm, but you will still get rainy days, in the main season, and nice, dry days in the shoulder and off seasons. The track still opens when it rains. Driving the circuit in the rain can be a good thing too! Accidents happen. Even though there are crashes every day on the track, accidents with our rental cars happen very infrequently, since we have a very strict safety procedure and do everything we can to best prepare you for driving on the track.
If you have the right attitude and approach to driving, with support from RSR you do not need to be scared! In short, in the case of an accident — if you cause damage to the car, you pay to repair only the damage you caused. However, in the very rare case where a car is written off you are normally not required to pay for the whole value of the car. Instead, up to a fixed excess level that is generally set at around half of the cars replacement value different from the current market value.
If there is damage to another car, we may require a deposit for damages until fault can be established. For a full run down of the processes and steps you can take if you want to reduce the risk, please visit the following page of our website:.
