The story of RSR (Ron Simons Racing) reads like an adventure out of passion for driving. Tired of soulless office work and congested city life, RSR Founder Ron Simons ‘escaped’ from the Netherlands and headed down south, driving towards full freedom.
The Nurburgring at the time was all about the brand-new Grand Prix track. The forgotten Nordschleife was open everyday but you first had to find it. Hidden behind a grandstand and iron gate, this 20km (13 mi) long rollercoaster of a dinosaur racetrack was still available and open every day of the week.
For Ron, it was all about enjoying real driving with friends back then and it still is today. Over the years, RSR has grown in size and now includes a large team of passionate staff and an international network of agents, as well as over 100 track prepared rental cars in every sports car segment. Ron and the team always have and always will continue to enjoy helping customers experience their dreams of driving both the Nürburgring Nordschleife and Spa-Francorchamps.
What are you waiting for – Drive your dreams today!
Our team is fully aware that you may have travelled half the world and spent a large sum of money to be able to drive the track, so we understand that you as a customer are entitled to expect our very best when it comes to service around your rental car. Here are just some of the top reasons to make RSR your first choice for the Nürburgring!
1. The longest established car rental company at the Nürburgring
In operation for over 20 years, RSR has helped tens of thousands of satisfied customers drive and enjoy the Nürburgring. Our expertise with the circuit is second to none. If you’re booking from overseas or are visiting for the first time, you can be assured that RSR will be there when you arrive – not that you find an empty building, losing your money and no-one answering the phone!
2. The range of cars in the RSR Fleet
RSR has the widest selection of sports, track and supercars available for rental in Europe. With just about every current sportscar of note, you’ll find a car that suits your driving preferences and budget! RSR owns all these cars and they are on location at the RSRNurburg or RSRSpa facilities. Watch out for companies offering cars they don’t actually own and have to rent themselves first.
3. Car unavailable? In maintenance? No problem!
With a total of over 100 cars in our fleet, if your first choice of car isn’t available, or if it is out for maintenance then you will still be able to drive the track with something similar! Avoid turning up from your long journey to the Nürburgring, only to be told that there is no car for you!
4. A good rental car isn’t cheap, a cheap rental car isn’t good.
We may not always be the cheapest when it comes to rental cars. However, you can be sure that our cars are prepared to the highest level, most under 3 years of working service and many brand new cars each and every year! You can also be assured that our registration and paperwork is in order – In Germany there is a specific type of registration required for “Self Drive Rental Cars”. Without this, in an accident you may be personally liable, void insurance or even face jail time! Every car in the RSR fleet that runs on the Nordschleife has this special type of registration.
5. Fleet preparation for the track
Each and every RSR hire car is thoroughly checked before and after every rental, to make sure you have the best possible experience on the circuit! This means you can be assured of the safety of the cars on track, and minimise the likelihood of mechanical issues while you’re out driving on the circuit. Our cars range from standard cars, forgiving and perfect for first timers, to specially track modified cars (RSR Edition) for track experienced drivers looking for something sharper and more focused. These RSR Edition cars are built using some of the best aftermarket parts in the business, and there are a few options in each car segment (entry-level, mid-range and high-end.)
6. Our dedication to safety
The Nürburgring can be tricky. Motorsport is inherently risky. We believe fun and safety can go hand in hand. This is why each and every driver receives a full track safety briefing before they drive on the circuit. This makes you aware of what can go wrong on the circuit, and better prepares you to handle any situation – making the circuit a more informed and better place to drive! Safety is the absolute priority before anything else.
