If you can stand up in front of a fair sized audience and evangalise/waffle on for an hour or so from a stage about technology, and a couple of suppliers of said technology, you'll do just fine.

You'll need to check with your insurers. Most cover EU travel, but most specifically exclude the Nuerburgring circuit itself.

Woots , Stu is correct , EU car cover + breakdown is not a lot 20/30 quid , but most excluded The ring even thought officially its a Toll road... long debate not the time.. Also most UK insurers Excluded travelling on this Toll road!... eg The Ring.Woots wrote:do you have to get sperate european insurance? and track insurance....any cons with it?

Therefore you have some options
Track Insurance MMM5 is best to ask regarding this , bit of a track guru
Hire a Track car its only 300 is euros for the day .. split between 4 of you that’s not a lot of dollor, fav option
Hire car per track a company does Elise for 50 quid a lap I think
Or Risk your car by racing around in it
My plan is one/ two chicken laps to cruise around in the porker then am hiring a track car I think as it’s seem to be the safest option.
Woots some of the best roads are actually around the Nurberg itself and are a lot more fun
If you after more info PM me

Hi Woody
I was giving up smoking and it was a Nic patch to help remove the craving! , of course it was sunny when I went and I left the patch on! hence the white circle.
No speeding Tckets mate ... well none yet
If you do make it, all the info is on the page just need to book and turn up
