Funny how people eulogise about the Ring, but don't go on about Spa for example, which has a very similar practical appeal.
I think thats because the ring is seen as the daddy, and at Spa you cant just arrive and drive like you can on a tourist day at the Nordschleife. You either book a full days track or you dont. You cant just turn up and do a lap!
Personally i would love to drive SPA after visiting last year, but i wouldnt like to spam my reliable car round there for a full day, and i would NOT (edit!) trust the reliability of my RS to get me there and back with a full trackday in the middle.

One day maybe
