'Ring insurance - I am covered on tourist days!
Discussion
I am gobsmacked by this but I've just got off the phone to competition car insurance and am delighted that I will be covered to drive the ring so long as it's not a track day and it is a normal public toll road day.
I didn't need to take additional cover my existing annual cover covers it.
Wow!
Has anyone else heard of this? Apparently is a very recent change.
Hope this may be of use to some

I didn't believe it, the lady checked and double checked and the call was recorded.
Hoping not to have to test it though!
Again, get it in writing.Hoping not to have to test it though!
A recorded call means nothing if the person on the other end has misinterpreted something.
I wouldn't count on it for a second unless it was stated in the Underwriter's T&C or Policy breakdown.

I'm not sure why there's all the surprise and disbelief here?
My car insurance policy with them covers all track days (well, 5 a year but that is extendable if you need more) at no extra cost.
It's because previously A tourist day at the ring was hugely risky as there were no insurance companies that would cover you. My car insurance policy with them covers all track days (well, 5 a year but that is extendable if you need more) at no extra cost.
Never heard of the stories of people paying tens of thousands for repairs to the track, track stoppages and anything else they'd charge you for?

My post was more directed to the other posters that don't seem to think it possible.
The only track mine doesn't cover is Oulton Park.

Because the Nurburgring ISN'T a track on tourist days, it's a de-restricted toll road, and as far as has previously been demonstrated, all UK insurance policies specifically state exemption for cover on de-restricted toll roads.My car insurance policy with them covers all track days (well, 5 a year but that is extendable if you need more) at no extra cost.
I just spoke to them again and a different member of staff said the same - I will be covered so long as it's a normal public toll road day under my normal insurance. This is a recent change.
They can provide cover for track days there too but this would cost extra.
They are sending email confirmation of this

Here is the written confirmation I've received:
"Just a quick email to confirm, that as long as you are abiding by the highway code, and the Nordschliefe track is being used as a public toll road, you will be covered through your comprehensive insurance.
If the track is closed for a private track use, there will be no cover in place."
EXTREMELY GOOD NEWS

The "highway code" doesn't apply - it's in Germany! What about if you go over 70 mph???!?!?!?!
Who is the email from - some dolt in Customer Service?
