if you cant spell the name of the track or know what it is really, then you shouldnt really have a sticker me thinks

but to answer your question, you can probably get one from any graphics place if you get an image off the net.

, seriously though, it will look very daft if you get a Nurburgring sticker for the back of your car.
The first questions people are going to ask are - Have you been then? (and point to the sticker), or ask what your lap time is.
And then you will only really be able to reply with - 'I havent even been there'

2 things that piss me off...
1. People calling Nurburgring, the 'nurenburger' or 'nurrenburg' or whatever...
2. People sticking the stickers on when they've never been
Yeh you can buy them from a petrol station just outside the track.

Im going in sept, and I guess its just a self achivement to go round (even if it was just to be on the ring, not for a fast laptime etc) would be cool to have the sticker to say you've done it I guess.

yeh but it's all about the fact you've been. It's like saying 'I've been to the ring and survived' - it's all about the experience.
The more people who put them on their car who've never been, the more cheapened it becomes, as it'll be assumed that anyone with the sticker has never been!
I was stuck in traffic the other day and the guy in the queue next to me saw my sticker, got me to wind my window down and was asking me all about it! He wanted to go himself and wanted to know how much it costs etc.
When FSC lot we 'weren't allowed to' put the sticker on the car until we'd been round the track! infact I think the people who did, ended up getting bad luck (1 crashed, 1 blown up)... So there's a lesson to you!
I have no problem putting castle combe one and silverstone ones too if they've been round them, but I didn't bother as otherwise my window would be littered with track pics.
Nurburgring is the like pilgrimage, the holy grail of tracks, so it's an exclusive club of becoming a person who's actually been there, so the sticker represents that! I didn't put it on the back to 'look cool' I put it on the back as a acknowledgement i've been.
Just cheapens it all if every chav go sticking them on for the sake of it.
Though a LOT of clubs are going this year, most of them not orientated to track driving at all ... so I expect a lot of these stickers to be on the back of written off shitters

I agree with what you've said though.
I can't wait to go in sept I don't plan on thrashing the car round though, just want to go for the experience and to see the other cars to be honest
