Robert ( @Robert Mitchell ) is the owner of Apex Nuerburg, a rental car company and experience centre based at the Nurburgring. He's an interesting guy who pretty much only drives his supercars on the Nurburgring. We have a long discussion about business, renting cars at the ring and what it's like to run the cars that he does.
