That would be such a bad ass vacation, but a little out of my price range right now.

If you are a serious racing enthusiast there are certain places that you dream of driving in order to test your mettle. One of them is the Nurburgring racing circuit in Germany. It is one of the longest and most challenging race courses in the world including 170 turns and 1000 feet in elevation changes.

Distinctive Driving Tours, which operates luxury driving tours, is now offering an all-inclusive track tour of the Nurburgring racing circuit, this August. The experience costs $8,000 (without airfare) and includes transportation to and from the airport, accommodations (based on double occupancy), breakfast, lunch and a cocktail reception. Guests will also receive instruction from International Drivers Training and track time in 10 different vehicles, including the Lotus Exige, Porsche 911, Audi TT, Renault Megane Sport, Volkswagen Golf GTI and BMW's 120i, 135i, 320si and 325i. Use of a Porsche GT3 RS is available for an extra $2,200 to $4,400 (half day or full day) supplement.

Distinctive Driving Tours offers a variety of other driving adventures including a Nascar experience and driving getaways in Arizona and California as well as annual trips to the Monaco F1 and LeMans.
