Ive made sure my insurance will cover me abroad, and I have something like 30 days cover for the year in a eu country, so thats fine, looking at quote for breakdown cover too (fucking HOW expensive ) and I'm gonna photocopy my licence and insurance stuff before I go too to take with me (never take those documents out anyway cus if I loose em I'm stuffed....)

But what about the ring itself? What do I have to show them when I get there? I'm assuming my license, but will I need anything else? Crash hat maybe?

 

Guy round here had his tvr break down in france, fine he had it covered (AA i think) but they had a backlog and had to wait for a slot, meantime went in a compound over there. Weeks he was told so in the end went and got it on a trailer.

Dunno the exact situation but just somin to ask about maybe when you pay a lot for europe cover!

 

greenflag eurocover are fantastic - 160 quid for my shonky saff, and they will get to you within an hour of your car conking out and trailer it home

 

Cool, I'll have a mooch for them for cover.

But what will I need to run on the ring??

 

a lot of energy, bravery or stupidity and a medical team

 

Thought it was a toll road - so its normal road use....

One way - no speed limit's :'(


Can you wear helmets ?

 

Gracie - thats a farkin bargain that Greenflag cover! Okay, no one wants to pay out another £160, especially if you don't need to use the service, but imagine how much it'd cost to get your motor trailer'd home privately Nice one GF

 

matt - not only does it cover europe, it covers the UK too - i been meaning to get the full cover for a while, so just bought it now - this very second.

 

photocopies will not suffice, you mst have the original documents.

you do not need to show anything at the 'ring. just buy a ticket from a machine and put it in a machine like a car park entrance. as long as your car is quiet and has a proper registration plate and does not have bits falling off, you will not even speak to anybody.

another tip, filming is not allowed. if they see a video camera in or on the car, you will be made to remove it.

 

and you are likely to be banned for the rest of the day, like my mates were

dont forget, the marshalls are watching you

 

How much are you budgeting for your emergency fund?

If you stack it you have to pay for repairs to Armco etc and pay to be towed/trailored off the circuit.

I was planning on going this year but I wanna wait till I have more money behind me.

 

1.OBDS....(on board doctor surveillance)
2. ECU .....electronic cardiac unit
3. A selection of prosthetic limbs
4. Enough drugs (morphine or otherwise) to subdue the pain until the GreenFlag trailer gets you back home.

Nothing like a positive attitude, eh?

 

13,500 euros for every hour the track is closed if you stack it and a car capable of getting there to begin with, i know something would go wrong on mine, lol!

 

is it? cor dear glad I never stacked it!

 

RS Monkey, never heard that one before

 

Can't see that happening!

Surley they would have a big fuck off sign about it - or at least be in the small print when you actually purchase a ticket

Im maybe wrong then, ive never been myself but ive heard it mentioned before on other forums, il see if i can find any evidence, lol

 

edit, i cant find an exact cost but this is in the rules.

http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/ringrules.html

Accidents as well as any damage to the track, the verges, the fences, the crash barriers or any other Nürburgring property must be reported to the staff of the Nürburgring GmbH. The cost of repairing any damage and of any track closure must be paid by the person responsible. The cost per hour can be viewed on request.

 

ATTN everyone, ive contacted the webmaster of Nurburgring.org.uk, Ben Lovejoy and he informs me that the cost of the track being closed is much less than i originally said, it is 2100 Euros per hour that the track is shut. Hope this helps.

 

Nice work Money

but I dont think I wanna drive on it anymore

Wonder if they will do me for the blowing exhaust pipe thou

However it does say filming can be done with the permission of the ring staff....

so I might... might get away with it if I say I am filming for a website....

 

PMSL

 

Me and chip filmed and got away with it.

Best was the VW lads had a secret camera mounted in a fog light and it was the best footage i have ever seen on a track when it was played in the hotel bar

 

also take an e111 form, unless you have other private health insurance

your insurer should pay all third party costs in the event of an accident, if you wish to make a claim and lose any ncb
