    I've been many times but I don't recommend taking a standard rental out. If its a busy weekend, lots of video and pictures will be taken and, in the past, simply being in the 'Ring car park has gotten renters into trouble.

    That said, plenty of people do it, including some I've travelled with in the past. They've always gotten away with it so I guess you might too?

    The marshalls definetly won't allow you out with obscured plates so I'd steer well clear of that.

    Try these guys;

    Enjoy the trip and drive safely - its an amazing place.

    Have you used this crowd? Looks like a great option. What's the story - do you just go to this place - hire your motor of choice and head to the Ring yourself and attempt to squeeze in as many laps as possible (which you pay for) in the 1/2 day or day?

    Does anyone know what days it is open to the public, or when are the best/ worst days to go?

    Cheers

    I haven't used them as I've always made a bit of a driving holiday out of the trip.

    I have seen several of there cars in the car park and spoken to some of the drivers - seems to work exactly as you describe.

    Weekday evenings are best for getting clean, relaxed laps. Weekends are pretty crazy and there are a lot of closures/incidents - its great for car spotting (saw four Zondas in a line, time before last!) but evenings tend to be mostly locals that will accomodate the occaisional nutty tourist.

    If you are going to go, I wouldn't recommend renting the fastest car you can - less is actually more when it comes to the Nordschleife. You'll have more fun in a diesel golf than an m3 if you are a beginner.
