Summary

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined in the studio by Darren Langeveld, founder of Destination Nürburgring. Darren has been running Nürburgring track days for 20 years and knows more than just about anybody what it takes to organise a high quality event on the Nordschleife. He reveals the cost of hiring the circuit and how expensive barrier repairs can be, and he shares plenty of sage advice for people planning their first track day on the Nürburgring.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Intercooler Podcast.
0:18.0	Hello everybody, welcome back to the Intercooler podcast. Today we're talking about the
0:26.5	Nurberg Ring, not just the Nurberg Ring, but we're going to be sort of focusing on
0:30.2	Nurberg Ring track days, good and bad. We want some amusing stories, we want some anecdotes,

1:50.0	And actually, I'm sure lots of our listeners and viewers will have been on a destination Nürbergering track day with you.
1:54.8	Because that's presumably what you're best known for these days, Darren.
