My friend Guillaume (@glsclruh) is a big fan of the Nürburgring, he often goes there for the Touristenfahrten days, where you basically buy tickets to drive single laps on this famous track.
We often drive from Paris to the Nürburgring, but this time, instead of taking the quickest 5 hour highway drive, we decided to take his Porsche 964RS to enjoy the fun roads through the forests and to make it a two day trip through France, Belgium and Germany.

” Decided to take his Porsche 964RS to enjoy the fun roads through the forests “
On the way, we had to make 2 major pit-stops to celebrate automotive history : The remains of the old Reims-Gueux Circuit, and of course, Spa-Francorchamps.
Being a professional photographer, besides driving on fun roads, the goal was of course to find nice locations for some pictures with the car.
And once we arrived at the Nürburgring, we spent the week-end driving on the track with several of our friends who’d also made it.
