June Nordschleife Trip!!
Discussion
OK, i know it's short notice but i think i've now got the bug so how about another trip at the end of June?? So far it's
Me

Format similar to the last trip we did in May, although to avoid execution from the wife, this trip will be 1 day shorter although still getting about the same time on track.
The Ring is open from 1pm on Fri June 30th & all day on Sat July 1st & Sun July 2nd, so plan to arrive in the locale at around lunch time (we're doing the Hull-Rotterdam sailing again so will be at the hotel for about 12:00pm). We'll check in, drop bags off & head straight to the track for when it opens.
Me thinks we should stay at the same hotel (Rieder) for the Fri & Sat nights & then head back for our return crossings at about 2-3pm on the Sunday or whenever suits depending on peoples crossing times.
Any takers????

Be aware that their is virtually no way of knowing how genuine that ticket would be.
Their is no countdown on the front or reverse & unless the ticket was purchased this year it may not be valid or even have any credit on it.
I've still got 2 laps left on my 15lap ticket from a few weeks ago & i'll be buying another 15 as a minimum when i'm next over.

If its an old chestnut why dont you already know the answer? 
Personally my way of looking at it is this.
A, Its a german toll road governed by German law.
B, My insurance company does not specifically forbid use on the Nurburgring
C, My insurance company does not specifically forbid use on German toll roads.
I am therefore insured. However I do everything in my powers not to test the theory

'If its an old chestnut why dont you already know the answer?'
Because no one seems to know the answer!
Ben Lovejoy says as much on his site. I was hoping someone would know an insurance company that gives you 'permission' to do the ring i.e. has said they will stick to the terms of their policy (if they don't exclude the Nordschleife specifically) and not shaft you afterwards.
Liverpool Victoria have told me I would be covered on Tourist Days - but thats in theory isn't it....

Liverpool Vic have repaired track damaged cars before. My understanding however was that they were stopping doing track day cover. Might be worth checking?
if you are really worried get specialist insurance specifically for track driving. I think this can be had for around £80 per day.
