An Absolute Hero Rode A Tiny Scooter Over 10,000 Miles To The Nurburgring, Then Put In Some Laps
When we’re talking about the Nurburgring on CT, it’s normally something to do with a camouflaged prototype buzzing around the infamous Nordschleife, or a buttock-clenching touristenfahrten near-miss. Today though, we bring you a properly brilliant feel-good ‘Ring story.
It concerns a gentleman called Lee, who’d clocked an astonishing 12,000 mile road trip starting in Seoul, South Korea on a 110cc Honda SuperCub when he stopped at the Nurburgring. He told his story to a group of ‘Ring regulars including Dale Lomas - aka Bridge to Gantry - and yes, he even completed a couple of laps at the daunting circuit.
The best bit? He was treated to a hot passenger ride of the Nordschleife in a modified Seat Leon Cupra. Looks to us like he enjoyed it.
Make sure you check out Lee’s Instagram profile for an insight into his incredible 100 day (and counting) journey.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
