      DRIVER PROFILE


      Our Spring course is the best way to get introduced to the Nordschleife and is great for the  Explorers, the Nordschleife 1st timers, discovering the track for the first time.


      It is also the course that always has been preferred by the Engaged, the classic Sportfahrer, who enjoy its flow and friendship.


      However, our Spring course is also great for drivers that already have good understanding of the Nordschleife  and solid pace, especially if you like to join a group of friends with mixed experiences - enjoying the great camaraderie.


      So, the Focused drivers, who strives for progress by refining skill through structure, awareness, and respect, can value the precision and focus of Section Training and combination of Free practice.


      With 1-to-1 coaching from the same instructors throughout the entire event, also the Committed drivers  can benefit from refining their technique in a structured, detailed way during this course. Read more about it!
