Nürburgring

[Cobrar]

Curious, do you think that an association with this venue, e.g. vehicle development, enhances the value of your brand?

It probably would...with gearheads anyway. (Remember "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday"?)

Not so much with Joe Public in general though, I would suspect...Prius pilots for instance...

Been there twice - 1962 (1 lap) and 2010 (2 laps). :thumbsup

Can't wait to get back there again - would love to spend a day learning it! It may be called the "Green Hell" but it's the most wonderful experience for a driver! No time to look at the scenery, but you're aware of it as you pass by - it's the only way to remember any part of the road.

I can't recommend it enough to any person going there. I loved Riverside International Raceway, but Phil Hill taught me to love the Nürburgring.

Ralphie, you are a treasure of stories for the forum!
