Breakdown Cover (Europe)

[VTECMatt]

So been a while since I had a car for trackdays and have booked a few for this year and in Germany. We will be driving there.
U.K. I’m less concerned but in Europe what company’s will offer this service. I notice the likes of the AA specifically mention the Nurburgring in their exclusions. Or is it specifically off the Nurburgring.

Any companies that offer a decent cover please let me know, Tia.

You won't get anyone to recover you from the Nurburgring if that is what you are asking, it is a closed shop ADAC perform for the track.

Yes I’m aware of that just asking as if my car brakes down at the circuit ie car park are they unlikely to refuse as is the case in the U.K. with some companies.

I don't think it's ADAC directly, it was Bongard trucks (although they also work for ADAC, and some ADAC trucks have been seen there on race days/kar freigtag...but it's now Lenz doing what Bongard did.

However, of you mean a breakdown away the actual track, then who picks you up will depend on who your breakdown policy is with. In my case it was Bongard via my Green Flag policy. If it's on the track, then it will initially be Lenz (who you pay directly), and then arrange your own recovery from there...and then argue the toss with your breakdown company over what the definition of 'racing' is.



Cover will depend on the age of the car too, as most have a 10-15 year old limit.
