Talking Going to Nürburgring, Need an EVO~!

Aloha EvoM~

First of all, Happy Independence Day!

My friends and I are planning a trip to the Green Hell for about a week during October, it would be a flight from HNL-MUC. Please advice us on this if anyone has experience or knowledge, and a few questions:

1. If I could, I want to rent a track compliant EVO 8/9, where should I look?
2. We want to book our hotel rooms (DORINT HOTEL) inside the ring, How is the quality? Or should we book with another hotel?
3. How does the toll booth work? Is it pay-per-lap?
4. We're going, no matter what. Anything else we should watch on for?

Going to the ring is kind of an adventure for us pacific islanders. I hope everyone here would share their knowledge and help us out. And of course, I do use Google and search, however, feed backs from forums are more accurate IMO~

Mahalo~


Edit: One more Question: Some Google results showed me that Oktoberfest ends in early October, and some saids end of October, which is right? Or maybe both are wrong? LMK, thanks~

The nearest one is in Berlin I think, we are gonna be in Munich, and I am nowhere rich enough to buy another EVO just so that I could drive it in Germany, which I would probably not gonna pay another visit until, maybe when I retire? LOL~ and I am going in without a visa since my passport is American, tell me, how do I "try" a local mitsu dealership?

Thanks man, my bad if I misunderstood~ But what I got was him/her implying to do an actual purchase at the dealership~ I mean, would a normal car sales rep at a brand dealer rent out a track ready car to someone who's gonna push it on one of the world's most challenging track? At least, I wouldn't~ Not even worth a "TRY" But hey, maybe I made the wrong assumption, but the dealership is STILL far from Munich~

So far I've found Rent4ring.de a pretty good looking race car rental, but I rather trust our forum members~ so please give us more advice if possible~

Yeah, we actually booked our tickets according to those dates, it's the weekend of October 4th, since we wanted to attack Nordschleife.

Thanks for the tip! Are the speed limits in corners? I gotta google that one more...

After checking out that website the M3 is the way to go
