Ride Along With Team Rent 4 Ring on the Nurburgring in the VLN Six Hour Race

It’s pretty common knowledge that you can rent a car to take out on the Nürburgring for tourist days. Anything from a Suzuki Swift on up to a 911 GT3 RS are available, but did you also know that you can rent race cars and compete in VLN races that take place throughout the year on the Nürburgring?

Rent 4 Ring has a few such cars available to do just that. All you need is an international racing license and a few thousand Euros to cover rental and entry fee. It’s not an insignificant amount of money, but checkout this video taken from Rent 4 Ring’s MX5 at this past weekend’s six hour VLN race and tell me this doesn't look like more fun than a Chuck E. Cheese on Victoria's Secret model appreciation night. The BMW 1 Series being diced with in the video also belongs to Rent 4 Ring. I’d say it’s worth saving for. Plus, you get the best seat in the house to watch the professionals in the SP9/GT3 class. Just stay the f*$k out of their way!
