Skip Barber Racing School offers the ultimate European driving adventure

If you’ve ever dreamed of driving the world’s most iconic racetracks, Skip Barber Racing School is making it possible this October with an unforgettable journey across Europe’s motorsport heartland. Over five days, participants will take on two bucket-list circuits — the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife and Belgium’s Spa-Francorchamps — while enjoying the kind of hospitality and exclusivity that transforms a track trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The adventure begins in Germany at the Nürburgring, affectionately known as the “Green Hell.” After settling in and watching the VLN race series, drivers will take part in a detailed briefing before their first full day on track. With 16 laps of the 13-mile Nordschleife included in the package, participants will get plenty of time to test themselves on the most demanding circuit in the world, backed by the confidence of expert instruction and a track-prepared car.

 

From there, the journey shifts west to Belgium, where Spa-Francorchamps awaits. Unlike typical track days, this is a Spa Premium Track Day — a private event with limited entries, closed to the public. Drivers will experience over 40 laps of Spa’s sweeping corners and legendary elevation changes, with professional instructors on hand for one-on-one coaching. Between sessions, hospitality in the pit garages and lunch overlooking the F1 pit lane remind participants they are in one of motorsport’s most storied venues.

But this program is about more than just lap times. Between driving days, Skip Barber has curated experiences that showcase the beauty and culture of the region. A scenic road tour winds through the Mosel Valley’s vineyards and historic villages, offering breathtaking views and unforgettable stops along the way. Evenings are spent at renowned local restaurants, where group dinners are paired with world-class wines, adding a social and celebratory element to the program.

Every detail is designed to be seamless. Packages include track-prepared cars, fuel, instruction, hotels, meals, and helmets — allowing guests to simply arrive and drive. Optional upgrades are available for those who want additional mileage or full-time, dedicated coaching. Spouses and partners are also welcomed, with access to social events and even the option to ride along on track as a passenger.

In short, this is not just another driving school — it’s a motorsport pilgrimage. To experience both Nürburgring and Spa in the same trip, with expert guidance and premium hospitality, is something few enthusiasts ever achieve. Skip Barber Racing School has created a program that combines adrenaline, culture, and exclusivity in equal measure.

 

Spaces are strictly limited, and demand is expected to be high. For those ready to check two legendary circuits off their bucket list in the most extraordinary way, this October’s Skip Barber European Driving Experience may be the opportunity of a lifetim
