Ringtool / Racetool - cars for the race track mode

Many car fans, especially younger ones, spend a lot of their free time on the race track / racetrack in summer. The Nürburgring is popular for this, as it is the longest and most difficult race track in the world and it is not for nothing that it is also called the “Green Hell”. This term, once invented by Formula 1 legend Jackie Stewart, best describes the characteristics of this 21-kilometer circuit, which is located in the middle of the Eifel, embedded in wonderful landscapes, and demands everything from the driver.

Very popular as a track tool are also down to the bones and weight-reduced variants of the Porsche 911, as the Neunerfer has by its construction on a relatively low weight and an enormous traction.

Tracktools without street legal.

But there are not only track tools for car lovers in reasonably affordable price ranges, but also millionaire toys that are considered as ring tools that do not even have street legal approval. Ferrari FXX and McLaren P1 GTR are such sweethearts, which weight-reduced and once again performance-enhanced vie for the favor of the heavy-race racetrack fanatics, which give these track tools then on the Nürburgring or the Dubai Race Circuit times the spurs properly.
