Dynamic Turtle Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hi chaps, I went on a Nurburgring excursion with my girlfriend on Sunday June 16th and rather than risk taking the Zed on track (which I strongly recommend you avoid - it's extremely dangerous out there) I rented Suzuki Sport Stage 1 from Rent4Ring to take advantage of the insurance cover and its specialised track performance, mostly in the form of very sharp brakes. It's surprisingly nippy once everything has been stripped out and slick tyres have been added, so don't assume this is a granny wagon - it's very fast. Sadly we only got to use two laps of our six lap package before a motorcyclist hit a barrier and was tragically killed, ending the touristfarhten session for the day and setting a sombre mood among the crowd. Rent4Ring have given us a 4-lap voucher for the unused laps, which we are unlikely to use in the near future. Just to confirm, I will send the voucher, the original receipt and the contact details for the manager there to help you confirm its authenticity. The retail cost is €299 (£260) and is the ALL IN package with fuel and, lap tickets included in the price. http://www.rent4ring...tml#p175_allinc I'm looking for £200 and the voucher is valid for a year. Cheers, DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewayz350z Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 We go every October mate as a friend lives 2 miles from the ring so we all stay at his, ill ask the lads if anyone fancies this mate, the swifts are quality to go round in and are a nippy little car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic Turtle Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Thanks Sidewayz, I'd appreciate that. Just to put it into context, 4 ring lap tickets would cost you £90, so you're getting the Suzuki + fuel + liability insurance for £110, which is a pretty good deal IMO.

Dynamic Turtle Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 EDIT: Msisleman has done some checks and has discovered that Rent4Ring require that you buy a basic €129 2-lap package before you can use this 4-lap voucher. This is due to customers having to sit through the safety briefing (30m video) and and process various T&C documents before they let you out on the Ring. Apologies for the oversight, they failed to mention this to me when I opted for a voucher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msisleman Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 GLWTS, still a good deal, if I was in the area longer during my euro tour I would have had them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Oh what a shame you did not get to use all your time in the Swift. But then I guess worse for the biker that died. I too hired a Swift for the Ring last year when I went and can also highly recommend this partially race prepared car for the Ring. I am thinking of going later in the year as the German friends I have are saying there is huge doubt amongst the locals the Ring will be open after this year. Will keep this in mind if i do go.
