SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (June 2008) - Distinctive Driving Tours, a leading provider of high-end luxury driving tours, is pleased to announce the commencement of its operations with an all-inclusive track tour of the legendary Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany. This event marks the beginning of Distinctive Driving Tours’ mission to unite automotive enthusiasts with the best cars, the best roads and the best accommodations to provide the ultimate driving experience.

“Distinctive Driving Tours was founded by car enthusiasts. We understand the passion for driving and want to provide an experience that will reflect and enrich this passion in others,” said Scott Herberg, director of operations for Distinctive Driving Tours. “We’re pulling out all the stops for our first tour. There is no better test of a driver’s skill than the Nürburgring, and we’re excited to offer race fans the opportunity to experience it.”

Distinctive Driving Tours has teamed up with International Drivers Training to give participants the chance to drive the Nürburgring in a high-performance car and experience the local flavor of the region. The $8,000 price includes transportation to and from the airport, accommodations for four nights, breakfast, lunch and a cocktail reception. Guests will also receive instruction from International Drivers Training and track time in 10 different vehicles, including the Lotus Exige, Porsche 911, Audi TT, Renault Megane Sport, Volkswagen Golf GTI and BMW’s 120i, 135i, 320si and 325i.

For the truly adventurous, a Porsche GT3 RS, essentially a street-legal race car, is available for an extra $4,000 per day.

The Nürburgring is one of the longest and most challenging race courses in the world, with 14 miles of narrow track, 170 turns and 1000 feet in elevation changes. Automobile manufacturers worldwide utilize the demanding circuit to develop and test their high-performance models because of its ability to push both man and machine to the limit.
