Do you have a decent pc? If so rfactor is a pretty good game and you can add the full nurburgring circuit to that and I have a pretty good logitech steering wheel and pedal set. I've also got an xbox 360 with forza 4 and I prefer that to GT5 on the PS3 but sadly I use the consoles daily.

Another tip is to watch onboard videos on the web, how long are you going for and are you going with anyone that knows the circuit?
