Touristenfahrten, or "Public driving", on the Nürburgring Nordschleife is a tradition that dates back to the very birth of the circuit in 1927. It's arguably the single most amazing thing about the 'ring and a major reason for it's global popularity. Anybody and everybody can be seen lapping the circuit on a Sunday, from motorcycles to camper vans. It's easy to become addicted to the thrill, but as you get faster you need to consider slowing down in TF and taking the speed to the private and practice days..."
