You get 30 minutes per lap, which should give you a margin if anything does not go according to plan, like dense traffic or a late start to the session. If everything goes smooth, you can use that margin to take a break.

Hopefully, this will avoid people trying to get everything out of their single booked lap, making mistakes and ending up not enjoying their lap.

Each driver and their stamina is different, however we find that 2-4 laps is a perfect amount for a first time driver. If you want to learn the track and actually get better, you are looking at hundreds of laps at a minimum.

Also make sure your car is well maintained and road legal. You can buy a lap ticket at the lap ticket office (close to the entrance of the Nordschleife), at the info center or even at the ED gas station in Nürburg.

Some of our cars are very beginner-friendly and forgiving, whereas others require more work and skill to be enjoyed on track. If you have never driven our higher-tier rental cars we want to make sure you will not only drive safe, and be conscious of maybe slower or less experienced drivers, but also that you will take care of our car. There are no exemptions: even Robert Kubica was instructed on his first lap!

]]> What is an instruction lap? https://www.apex-nuerburg.com/ufaq/what-is-an-instruction-lap/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=what-is-an-instruction-lap Sun, 26 Sep 2021 15:40:02 +0000 https://www.apex-nuerburg.com/?post_type=ufaq&p=10400 An instruction lap is an add-on to a lap in one of our rentals or your own car, where the instructor will be your co-pilot and will guide you through the track. They will prioritise safety and focus on your driving skills. Having a professional and experienced instructor is the best track insurance you can buy, but it’s important to keep in mind that the instructor is not in control: the driver is. Please note that an “instructor lap” is not an actual lap, but an add-on to a lap. Some of our higher-powered cars require at least 1 instruction lap per driver. If it’s mandatory, the first instruction lap is included in the price.

Wear-and-tear is accounted for, and insurance is included. Make sure to inform yourself about our insurance policy in the relevant FAQ-section.

However for your own and other’s safety, it is recommended that you have at least a couple of months of driving experience.

Make sure you have the correct version of your driving license, and that it is not expired. For us, it is important that we can read what is written on your license. You might need an official translation. The credit card you use must allow remote withdrawals, and have a sufficient balance or limit for the excess of your rented car. If you are using someone else’s credit card they need to be on-site to sign for the usage of the credit card, or have to give us a written statement that you are allowed to use it for the booked service.
