Nurburgring on the Web (Part 1)

I suppose I should start this series by saying I (like a few other writers on the site) am mildly obsessed with the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Having read about the track for years, experiencing on GT4 and then finally driving it for the first time last year, it’s become a staple of my automotive fascination. And with BMW’s historical connection to the track, I thought a look at some of the better ‘Ring related sites out there is in order.

One of my favorites is Ausringers.com. It’s an Australian based site about every aspect of the ‘Ring. A highly recommended addition to any BMW enthusiast’s RSS reader.

A great site. Ran into a while back and visit it often.

In case you know some German feel free to follow the adventures of Team Reisegold at http://reisegold.blogspot.com.
We are two MINI drivers who share the passion of some serious Nordschleife track time and bought an E30 last year which was then converted to a serious race car.
Pictures speak louder than words they say, so you can also take a look at our Flickr page at http://flickr.com/groups/reisegold/

Oh, and we’ll kick of the season on March 1st with a few rounds of the Nordschleife. Feel free to get in touch if you want a ride.

You’ll probably hit this one soon. It is one of my favorites and probably one of the most comprehensive.

Great sites Philip and Vin, thanks for sharing them.

Thank you for the plug Gabe. :) I’ve only had the site up and running for a short time, so it’s nice to see it is being read and enjoyed by others.

I agree with vin - Ben Lovejoy’s site is a bible for all things Nordschleife.

Good to see you around too Philip.

About BimmerFile

BimmerFile is dedicated to bringing you the most interesting news, links and reviews related to the BMW brand and it's vehicles.

We believe in the old school BMW ownership experience. We believe in garage nights with a six pack and some friends. We believe in 2002s, in E30 M3s and E34 540s with the 6 speed. We believe in progress in both design and engineering but we haven't lost sight of what made the brand and its products great all those years ago. And yes, we believe in the manual transmission.

We long for the days of the wave and for the days of roll-up windows. Yet we love the gadgets on the inside and the xenons on the outside.

In short, we can't get enough of BMWs. This is BimmerFile.
