That would be difficult given that there is no race track in or near Nuremberg. Even rallies are frowned upon there nowadays!
There is however a very famous (well three actually) track called Nurburg Ring which is in a completely different area of Germany.
That said I have seen 18 wheelers doing laps at the old Hockenheim Ring drifting through the corners on a day Mercedes-Benz hired the track for testing.
Btw MC2 Audio MC series amps compete quite happily with say Boulder or Chord amps on every level except price.
Bryston and Perreaux are other pro amp manufacturers holding their own amongst 'high end home amps'.
IMO a better car analogy would be that pro amps are like the cars raced at the 24hrs of Le Mans while home amps are like a shop-bought Ferrari: They may keep up with the pros at first but will break down after a couple of hours flat out.
