The Nürburgring Nordschleife, Germany.
Spa Francorchamps, Belgium.

The two greatest racetracks in the World, separated by a handful of mountain villages and little more than 100km.

Join us in the European Summer 2020, for a week in the Eifel/Ardennes Mountains, for the trackday experience of a lifetime. THREE Openpitlane trackdays- back-to-back-to-back! Touristenfahrten drives with the locals. A week of track driving and road tours in some of the best sports cars of modern times.

The Elite tour is our ultra-premium package; which boasts more than 700km of track driving in BMW M cars and Porsches, plus another 250km+ of regional road tours on the sinewy ribbon of roads connecting the two tracks in a selection of super sports cars right up to GT3RS level. All up, over 1000km of pure motorsport driving experience on the best roads and tracks on the planet.

Track access, driver instruction, hot ‘taxi’ laps, accommodation, and most meals are included- plus a historical tour of the region and pre-trackday 'sighter laps' with some of the most knowledgeable and skilled driver trainers from all corners of the world. You will leave this experience with a new set of skills and knowledge, and above all, memories to last a lifetime.

 A word from our Director:

I have 12 years personal experience attending and working with the very best trackday organisers in Europe, exclusively using the openpitlane format. What you'll experience attending these events is the very highest standard of event organisation, track preparation, and driver instruction; with access to the very best cars and tracks in the World. I cannot recommend highly enough that you try these tracks at least once in your lifetime. As good as our Australian tracks are, and no matter your experience level, nothing will fully prepare you for your first experience of the Nürburgring and Spa. If you're looking for that bucket list experience, this is genuinely it. 

It's not just the tracks themselves though. I will take you on a personal tour of the region- the best hotels, restaurants, and eateries. The winding B-roads around and between the two tracks. The automotive industry testing facilities. The 'spy shot' hotspots. A true 'backstage' view of the region as the locals see it. Bring your camera, your driving shoes and prepare for an immersive once-in-a-lifetime experience.

These events are highly exclusive with strictly limited numbers. If you're interested in attending, please contact me directly with your expression of interest and I will reach out to you personally.

Best regards and see you in the Eifel!

P.S. The optional ‘warm up’ VLN experience is highly recommended and really helps the understanding and enjoyment of the full week track programme. VLN has some of the most access you’ll ever get to this level of machinery and to be able to appreciate the speed differential between the different classes of cars in this most historic race series. If you can wrangle the extra couple of days it definitely adds to the experience!
