Feel like it'd be cheaper too but I feel like it could easily turn into one of those like atv tours that you always are people doing on reality TV shows where they act like they're having so much fun (because they've never actually ridden) but they're going like 3 mph following a guide on another atv on a perfectly flat trail.

What I've found about motorcycle businesses is that they are waaayyy more lax on safety and what not than a similar car business. I'd be willing to bet that you could find a dirt bike tour outfit that would let you ride balls out as long as you sign the insurance waiver and show that you can ride somewhat competently.

Yeah the way I look at Germany is I'd be happy if we could get a group of 3 or 4 people together. It would be awesome if more could come but the like you said, budget. Figure about $600-900 for flights, but from there costs are not too out of line with what we spend on a normal track day, it's just that you have to rent a track car. Hotel was about $100/nt to be about 3 minute drive from the paddock, street rental car(s) could be split with the group (I paid about $70/day for the A4 Avant manual I got). There weren't many places for super cheat eats but prices weren't out of line with sit down restaurants around VIR for example. The paddock restaurant was on par with Chez Summit or the VIR restaurant.
The big cost of course is the car, but even with that a lot of the outfits charge by the lap so you could just pay for 3-6 laps a day, or as many as 15+ a day, depending on what you wanna do. I did about 15 and it was about as much as I could handle in a day. The track day outfits let you split up the entry fee among multiple drivers for only about $50 per extra driver. I'll lay out all the maths in here sometime.
