So myself, Ernie666 and Andrezje are going to the Nurburgring on Saturday 29th April and returning on Monday 01st of May. It will be a cool weekend including racing around the ring.
We have booked a return Ferry from Dover to Dunkirk (£40) and we are also booked into the motorsport hotel for 2 nights at the track, around £35 per night.
If you want to come with for a run you welcome. Go pro’s will be used on the track!
Best thing I ever did on my bike, easy trip, 1 day to the ring, 1 day at the ring racing and watching, 1 day to get back with plenty of stops each way, Brussels, Bruce, spa. Can’t wait!!!
Chaps im sure Changy found daily in insurance to cover your bike and track damage. Under £100 per day..
Track closure is expensive.
Oil spill clean up is a few grand alone.
Armco damage £15-20k is typical..
Have fun, can't make this..

Cost of crashing on the Nurburgring
These include Armco repairs, safety car attendance, vehicle recovery, track closure, hospital stays and helicopter fees. I recommend avoiding these. If you can’t, then the following price-list may help:
Base fee for attendance of armco truck: €150
Removing damaged armco: €10/metre (x2 or x3 or x4 for multiple-height sections)
Replacement armco: €31/metre (x2 or x3 for double/triple height)
Removing damaged armco posts: €5.10 each
Replacing armco post: €39 each
Safety car attendance: €82 per 30 mins (car + 2 people)
Circuit closure: €1,350 per hour
Recovery truck: €500 (inc VAT)
Hospital stay & air ambulance: Let's just say, do NOT go there without travel insurance! (Though a European Health Card - which replaced the E111 - may cover the hospital bit.)
Everything except the recovery truck is then subject to 19% VAT.
The record armco bill I’m aware of is €15,000. That was a car that managed to flatten a very impressive length of armco between the Quiddlebacher Hohe bridge and the crest on the approach to Flugplatz. But even a minor bump can turn into a surprisingly expensive day out
Good find Eddie, not the Inline with the stories I’ve been told . But not cheap either way…
I wonder if the new owners are being more transparent, as those costs aren’t that bad say 5k for a small section.
I nearly stuffed a Rent-4-ring into the Armco in the rain. That had a £3.5k excess for the car alone, now that would of been a bad day.
James, not sure if I’ll do the track again. I’ve not got good history there😂. If I had the spare hols, would of come for the ride, luv the German roads.
Another time for sure, have a go on the gokart track, they were a good laugh!
