Happened to go onto the Nürburgring Cam there and ehhh I saw not one but 2 buses on the cam :P The bus looks full too? Trying to beat some sort of bus record maybe

Looks like a tour. Wierd

Buses trucks, you name it all sharing the track with insane bikers.

hmm they're back for another lap

There are bus tours of the Ring.

Iv also seen video of skylines overtaking said busses at massive speeds.

There are regular bus tours of the 'Ring. Madness. What's the point of touring a race track on a bus? Nothing worse than driving thousands of miles to have your lap time blasted by a bus load of blue rinsed window lickers....

Can't imagine a double decker bus would last very long out there.

It aint a racetrack, it's a tolled road...

Plenty of buses use the road as part of tours

You'll often see buses on the Touristfahren days.

While I wouldn't do it, the Nuerburgring has a big historical interest in Germany.
I can see why someone would like to take a guided tour and get told all the stories and anecdotes that come with every bend and hump.

At least in a tourbus you'd be safer than doing it in your own car ...plus you get the comment.

Just noticed there are car and bus symbols painted on the right hand lane... :pac:

Gives a new meaning to the term 'bus lane'...:D

I think it's a great idea, and while you're out enjoying the countryside and the heritage, you might get to see some nice cars.
