Apart from the old Grandpix pits I found Reims a bit boring

Tip 1: don't do a "quick blast around the track". If your new to the Nürburgring, this is a sure way to crash. The track needs more than "balls of steel", but first and foremost common sense and decent track knowledge.
As an alternative to your plan, you could also sleep over at the Nürburgring. I can recommend Hotel am Tiergarten and the adjacent Pistenklause bar and restaurant (both owned by the late Sabine Schmitz' family). 2 minutes drive from the track. The Pistenklause is a "must do" for new comers. An alternative for sleeping near the Ring is Hotel zur Burg. I always stay there if I have raceweekend, and so did the the Ferrari F1 team in the seventies and eighties.
If you sleep near the track, you can drive it in the early morning (depending on opening times), before the crowds/idiots arrive. Much nicer to drive and a much better experience for your son.
