Any racetrack worth driving has elevation changes, Nurburgring just being a much bigger track than anywhere else in the world just has a bigger difference between top and bottom. I'd say you almost get more entertainment and challenge out of a smaller course with more technical turns. Laguna Seca is actually a very tough track to drive well, and the corkscrew isn't even the hardest, it's just the most talked about. Having been on a few tracks that were flat, the challenge there is actually looking 2 turns ahead because without any elevation there's very little that's visible of the next turn.
And as a race track event, you're screwed no matter how you wreck. You can still have plenty of crazy adrenaline inducing fun without overdriving and potentially hurting yourself or someone else. I still say take whatever rental car you like out there, just drive at 8/10ths your limit or the car's whichever is lower. Sixt didn't give me any trouble other than cost for the 2000 km's I put on their 1 series.
