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. :)

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.
