Great post, thanks for sharing!
I've been on the Nürburgring Nordschleife few years ago with my previous BMW 123D. It was a blast! I did only 4 laps but I knew the track very well thanks to Forza Motorsport
On a side note, what kind of experience do you have with driving on a track? I always wanted to do the M Performance school but I'm worried it will be "too basic" for my experience.
