Tankie, with all respect... a lap with Mrs Reck is a bit, erm, different.

Her boss is probably just as fast, but a bit smoother. Not the same thrill, but there you go.

It's worth the money IMHO.

SomeDude is correct.

A lap with said lady is something you will never forget.

edit : if you wait a few months, you can be piloted by Hans-J Stuck in the Taxi

Do they always go for it then?


I can remember Steff overtaking the Ring Taxi in his UK Scoob, although he did spin it a couple of corners later.

I imagine the ring taxi is lapping around 8:30 so to keep up you would be going quite well, to overtake you must be going very quick!

I would always feel cheated if I went in the ring taxt and Sabine wasn't driving.

I do know she is not doing the ring taxi again until some time in August.

It'll clearly depend on how fast it's travelling at the time, response time of the driver, braking distances, driving conditions, visibiity of your arm hailing it etc.

Hope this helps

Running driver legend and BMW mark Ambassadors Hans Hans-Joachim stucco, which won the legendary 24h-Rennen on 13 June on the Nuerburgring with the BMW M3 GTR, for the first time the BMW ring taxi at the Nuerburgring becomes pilotieren. Here stucco 500 HP exchanges strong BMW M3 GTR for the BMW M5 with 400 HP and arranges for ambitionierten north loop prospective customers still several times in this year the joy in driving into pure culture.

The BMW ring taxi is an exclusive initiative of the BMW driver training on 20.8 km is enough for Nuerburgring Nordschleife. The customer receives the possibility of experiencing a precise round with experienced drivers and instructors on the north loop and thus running feeling. From April to November the BMW becomes ring taxi of further experienced BMW driver training instructors such as Claudia Huertgen, winner of the DTC 2003, or Sabine Schmitz pilotiert.
Uh oh, I hope Derek Google doesn't give up his daytime job when it comes to translations

Ian, can you explain to me why I needed that smiley ? I put up a genuine link to a genuine article about "stucco" (LOL) that even for the brain cell challenged clearly gave the answer to Richard's question.

I think I saw your face around the 'Ring before, I'm not sure, I'm used to having nasty dreams.

That said, if you can take advantage of this non UK country's blessings, can you also have the politeness of trying to learn the next word to "beer" in their native language ?
