Nurburgring in 2 weeks - need suggestions!

[BLKROKT]

Hey guys, I'm heading over to the 'Ring Aug 16-22 for some spirited driving. Does anyone who's frequented the area have any suggestions as far as where to stay and what else to do in the area during the weekend? I intend on driving the 'Ring on Friday and Monday only to avoid as many idiots as possible.

Also, tips on the best unrestricted parts of the Autobahn would be helpful as well.

TIA
