While informing about a ride in the Ring Taxi (BMW M5) I was told there will be a new Ring Taxi available in 2003: a modified Viper GTS.

Apparently, the car runs suspension and aerodynamics mods based on the GTS-R racecar.

A lap in the passenger seat costs 250 euro. A bit pricey for me but I thought you might like to know.

I learned about the Viper when I called Nürburgring GmbH to book a lap in the Ring Taxi. The number is 2691302178 (not sure what the international access code is from the UK). Just call them and they'll mail you the details.
They told me about the Viper because it seems the M5 laps are already booked for the whole year! Viper laps didn't have this problem (but are much more expensive).

BTW, regarding the 2003 dates: you can still book a lap, you just have to contact the Ring again in April to get the actual date (although changes are it ends up being a date in 2004...).
