Your ultimate track experience begins at the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife. Following a leisurely breakfast, the group will be transferred from your residences in Frankfurt to Nurburg, the small town situated within the famous Nurburgring. In the afternoon, we’ll get you warmed up for the adventure ahead with an introductory session out on the ‘Ring. Originally constructed in 1925, the Nurburgring is one of the most respected and revered circuit in modern motorsport. The 20.8km track features a myriad of tight switchbacks, exhilarating straights and long sweeping bends - a true feast for any motoring enthusiast. The track also features a selection of totally unique racing corners not found anywhere else on Earth - including the famous Karussell, a 270-degree tight banked
curve that replicates G-forces more commonly felt by fighter pilots than racing drivers. After a thorough briefing, you will be introduced to the car you have selected to pilot around the ‘Ring. Over the course of this afternoon and the next, you’ll cover approximately 216kms (10 laps) in your chosen vehicle, channeling the likes of Sir Jackie Stewart, who nicknamed the circuit ‘the Green Hell’. Possible vehicle selections include offerings from Volkswagen, BMW, Renault and Porsche. Our vehicles and instructors cater to all driving abilities, from the keen novice to seasoned racers. In the evenings you will dine at the renowned Restaurant Pistenklaus, owned by the famous Schmitz family. Explore decades and eras of F1 memorabilia over their renowned hot stone steak. Perhaps you’ll even bump into Sabine Schmitz, who has also recently taken up hosting duties on Top Gear, and is nicknamed ‘the Queen of the ‘Ring’ after covering over 50,000 laps around the circuit. In addition to your time at the ring, you’ll also enjoy a Go-Karting Grand Prix at the Schumacher family’s karting centre - a training ground for F1 racer and World Champion Sebastian Vettel. Following your adrenalin-filled two days, wind down back at Tiergarten and prepare for luxury transfers to the next circuit Spa Francorchamps in neighbouring Belgium.

Today we will enjoy luxury transfers from the Nurburgring in Germany to Spa Francorchamps, a short hop across the border in Belgium. Here you will spend the day at one of the most famous circuits in Formula 1 - Circuit de Spa Francorchamps, enjoying a private track experience. This circuit is held in high regard by many former and current F1 champions, including Lewis Hamilton who calls Spa his “favourite place on Earth”. Take a rare opportunity to blast through Eau Rouge, one of the most heralded circuit corners in all of motorsport, renowned for its uphill twisting G-forces more akin to a rollercoaster than a racetrack. As with the Nurburgring experience, professional racing instructors will be on hand to guide you through the intricacies of both the circuit and the vehicles you will be piloting.

Following your three days of high-octane adrenalin, enjoy a much needed sleep-in on Friday morning. Later in the morning, guests will enjoy luxury transfers back to Frankfurt airport for the flight to Vienna, Austria. Here we will spend the afternoon enjoying a walking tour of the city, visiting the picturesque highlights of one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. On Saturday morning we will venture across the border into Slovakia, headed for the appropriately named Slovakia Ring to spectate Round 4 of the KTM X-Bow Battle. Created exclusively for European X-Bow owners, the KTM X-Bow Battle provide the opportunity to get valuable on-track racing experience as part of an exclusive community of like-minded racers. Be sure to take notes of the driving skills on display - they’ll be needed for tomorrow when you slip behind the wheel of your very own KTM X-Bow for the drive to the spectacular Red Bull Ring back in Austria. Friday night will be spent in Bratislava, the famous intersection of Eastern and Western Europe.

Sunday will be spent getting acquainted with the KTM X-Bow from the best place possible - behind the wheel! Our roadtrip takes us from the heart of Bratislava in Slovakia, to the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria. The route has been specifically designed to produce perfect conditions for testing the X-Bow’s capabilities as an on-road racer, taking in the best of the Austrian Alps on the way. With more than 240 horsepower on tap and with almost no superfluous body weight to haul around, the X-Bow is purpose built to be a road-crushing weapon. The roadtrip will conclude when we reach the Red Bull Ring late in the afternoon. Recently reopened following an extensive renovation in 2011, the Red Bull Ring is an ultramodern playground for all things automotive, having hosted a variety of motorsport events ranging from DTM to Formula One. The Ring has been commissioned for a private track day exclusively for our tour guests, meaning you will be able to explore the true limits of your X-Bow - that is if you can push hard enough to find them!
