Performance driving school in Germany?

I know this forum has a good amount of car fans so I figure it's a good place to ask. I'd like to go to a place somewhere in Germany where I can spend a day or two on a track with a decent car and get some introduction into driving at speed. Anyone have any suggestions? Does this even exist?

I'm sure you can find the place to take a performance car for a spin in Germany but don't be surprised if back on motorways in CH, they won't be impressed.

What is your budget?

For example you could do a 2 day trackday with Wirz Motorsport (website currently being updated - but around 600chf per day) or Pistenclub - you'll then need to hire a car. For example [PC Rental](htttp://pistenclub.info/en/service/car-rentals)

For a 2 day rental (with support) don't expert much change from 5,000chf with limited tuition. Add 1,000chf per day if you want dedicated tuition.

Hanseat also does 4 day courses - but you'll need your own car.

Thank you both!

I initially planned a budget of around 500 a day or so. It's actually primarily meant as a gift for my wife who'd like to give it a go.

Are you actually looking for a "Supercar driving" type thing?

That seems quite cool too. Initially we discussed something like a day of instruction with a decent car like a BMW or whatever, maybe on the Nürburgring, I had no idea there were so many different options!

A full day instruction doesn't come cheap - nor does hiring a car prepped for the track - 1000-2000chf per day is a realistic price range.

BMW have a driving academy in Germany and I'd guess the likes of Porsche, Merc, Audi have the same. BUT they seem to be more targeting companies rather than individuals.

To put things into perspective - circuit hire for 1 day costs around 30k eur for a good/safe/professional track; budget per car 1000-2000eur per day - fuel works out around 1l per minute of use. Instructors are around 1,000eur per day.

1 track + 10 cars + 10 instructors + staffing = 60,000eur before fuel.

Each experience occupies 1 car + 1 instructor for half an hour. 6 hours available per day = 120 clients = 500eur per client.

Is Sabine Schmitz still teaching people how to drive the Nordschleife at Zakspeed?

No word on the AMG Driving Academy ???! Repeat the alphabet after me:
