^^ 997 GT3 RS. If it was an RT12 i would fly down there just to see it :D

[Who]

poor bugger in the 106 is going to be going around for a loooong time :D

 

edit, guy in the evo has a helmet on for some reason

[The Queen]

Is it not the rules for the driver and or passengers in the car to wear helmets during a track lap?

No it not.. Most/abit of the track is used as public road..

[Pherelas]

No it not.. Most/abit of the track is used as public road..

 

If thats the case why do people pay to go on, why not just drive on where it meets other roads?

[FA430RGT]

I'm stumped there..

[Enos]

Because they have 2 pay for the recovery Vans, test drivers, Ring Taxi's, Pits and of course the Burger Bars!!

[Baxie]

No. The track is no longer used as publically accessible roads.

 

The Nurburg city council owns the track and charges people to pay for the upkeep. However, it is not part of the normal road-grid down there.

 

When you see people wearing helmets, it is because no insurance covers any potential damage, unless you distinctly order and pay for it.

 

Also, a lof of the people driving, are doing so in semi-racing modified cars with rollcages etc. And anyone who has ever sat in a car with a Rollcage, you'll know how much difference a helmet can do.

 

Especially if you're as tall as me. (188 cm)

 

Been away this weekend. Nice to see that I can come here and be updated. :)

i always thought it was classified as a Toll Road

 

but hey, its not the first time i been wrong, and it certainly aint the last

[Baxie]

It was when they built it, but back then it was only being raced periodically.

 

Today you get all sorts racing on the track. Either organized racing or open race-day. Would be no end of crashes and fatalities if it was still part of normal the normal roads down there.

After seeing a long wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter minibus on the ring the other day (its on about page 16) i now have found another van racing the ring.......

 

 

.... with a trailer!!

 

i know its probably not racing

[CarMadMike]

even with a trailer, sporty

[The Queen]

Unlucky for some *DBR9* :). What the hell is that guy in the van thinking of taking his van and the trailer onto the ring. I would laugh soo much if he got charged a lot extra for doing that :D

[CarMadMike]

try and be the fastest trailer round the track

[The Queen]

That could be new new type of racing at the 'ring. The bigger the trailer the better :D

[CarMadMike]

and trailor bashing, try and swing your trailor at the next car and bash it off the road, coming soon CARAVAN RACING
