im taking my 3 door to the nurburg next month,
I just need to ask something, I read up on ben lovejoys webpage, about no video cameras permitted and if you crash and damage the track you will get spanked etc.

I Just wondered how well they tolerate cossies, cos they all smoke a bit,

stevecossy

Think its ok to smoke so long as ya not dropping fluids on the track.
There will be lots of cossies there next month mine incl so see ya around.

foreigneRS

do they?

if it's smoking at idle when you get to the barrier they may turn you away, but if it's just smoke on the overrun you will be ok.

as said though, any dropping of fluids will have you thrown off and possibly billed for the closure of the track whilst it's cleaned up (before somebody crashes on it)

if your car looks good and is not too loud, you will not have problems getting on. if you do have problems getting on, get on at the halfway entrance/exit at adenau and then when you get back to the barriers on the straight at nuerburg you can stay on track and use those barriers that do not tend to have marshalls by them

as for cameras, they are not allowed but they are used

hit the barrier and you will be charged for replacing it and track closure time - can be Ł300 - Ł500

Very true about the fluid loss!!

One lad, I think Shitbox off here got fined last year. I think it was roughly 500 Euro's? But the annoying thing is he didn't drop any fluid, just a marshall thought he did!! Crazy Germans!! ha

As an aside, there were rumours about them tightening up on different mods if they dont comply with TUV. I think Ive mentioned it before but a German guy with a very well maintained Red E30 M3 was turned away on noise grounds after the marshall held the DB meter about 2 foot from his exhaust. So if they're in a funny mood they will stop you.

ok cheers people for your comments.. I should be ok ( I hope)
It would just stuff my week up a bit, if they were fussy.

kewl nice one hope to see some of you there.

foreigneRS

it will not be practical to check that all mods are TUEV approved, but it is up to their discretion what they let on and what they turn away.

noise tests have always been done and will only get stricter in the future

Bugger, shame as we seem to have around 45 cars / people from on here going! Should be a good crowd.

Still, going to the Ring anytime is always good, have a good one!

I'm so jealous of you guys, was planning to go in May but since the WRX got stolen I haven't replaced it yet.

Have a good time everyone, hope I make it next time
