You're welcome. It will all make sense when you get there. Be mindful of your mirrors; the sportbikes can come up on you really fast. Just make sure to keep a consistent line and they can go around you fairly easily.
Honestly, the whole thing is not _that_ much different than driving up in the mountains, except that everyone is going the same direction.
Walking around the paddock area is a treat. You'll see all kinds of cars; from exotics to VW Polos (and don't be surprised if a Polo or Ford Fiesta passes you at some point).
Also, you can't even get a beer in the "grunholle" bar without using your Ring Card. You can add value to them just like you add laps. The whole facility is basically cashless.
You should also have dinner at the "Pistenklause" in the basement of the Hotel am Tiergarten in Nurburg. It's where all of the "Ringers" go for dinner after the track closes. Be sure to make reservations.
