"Distinctive Driving Tours was founded by car enthusiasts. We understand the passion for driving and want to provide an experience that will reflect and enrich this passion in others," said Scott Herberg, director of operations for Distinctive Driving Tours. "We're pulling out all the stops for our first tour. There is no better test of a driver's skill than the Nurburgring, and we're excited to offer race fans the opportunity to experience it."

Distinctive Driving Tours has teamed up with International Drivers Training to give participants the chance to drive the Nurburgring in a high-performance car and experience the local flavor of the region. The $8,000 price includes transportation to and from the airport, accommodations for four nights, breakfast, lunch and a cocktail reception.

The Nurburgring is one of the longest and most challenging race courses in the world, with 14 miles of narrow track, 170 turns and 1000 feet in elevation changes. Automobile manufacturers worldwide utilize the demanding circuit to develop and test their high-performance models because of its ability to push both man and machine to the limit.
