Funny how people eulogise about the Ring, but don't go on about Spa for example, which has a very similar practical appeal.
The ring is 14+ miles long, with 100+ corners, no other track offers the unique challenge of "getting to know it" to quite the same extent.
It DOES offer the place to hone your driving skills as much as a UK track, but only once you are a thousand laps in IMHO, as by then you know it intimately and can push the car to its limits on each and every bend (with the exception of a few where there isnt enough visibility to do so).
