It was uploaded to Flicker by an account called nordschleifenfan, which added to the likelyhood it was taken at the nordschleifen.
What races were being run on the 4th of July last year ?
EDIT: it appears to be competing in something called "VLN Lauf.5 Freitag Einstellfahrten".

I spoke to several people but unfortunately they all agreed that it's not the car of our driver.
To try on more pictures you could use the websites www.vln.de or www.20832.com.
Or you can also try to contact the press department of the VLN.
Now i have been onto 20832.com and looked through their photo's for that days racing and have found the below picture which i believe is the No.5 car from that race which as you can see isnt the Black one i am looking for, so i am back to square one.

I have also in the same group of photos found this image which also shows this car was there? two No.5 entrants?

I am going to contact VLN and see if they know, anyone else?

That, couple with the "Fast and Furious" decal styling, my money is on a ring taxi of some kind, or as an outside bet a course / pace car, if VLN use them, running the day before the race, and possibly still around when the event was going on or the competitng cars were there to test.
Maybe post on some of the 'ring forums, and see if any of the regulars recognise it.

It was just an innocent joke. I didn't intend to offend. And I also think he understood that. Just you didn't.
Kinda on topic: it's good to see people helping out.

Adding to your thought: If you look very carefully you can see that the track map of Nurburgring Nordschleife is on the car (the F1 track on the bonnet and the rest of the track drawn on the rest of the car). So I think your idea of a ring taxi is spot on.
