Why Crashing At The Nurburgring Could Cost You More Than Just Pride
Dubbed the ‘Green Hell’ by F1 legend Jackie Stewart, this astonishing 12.9-mile racetrack continues to attract drivers from the world over

On a track day, yes it's included. Not TF obviously. You will still be billed for circuit damage, but that is the same in the UK.
My pal took his V10 M5 (in that previous video). As he was queueing to exit on the final lap of the day the SMG gearbox failed (slave cylinder I believe) and it locked in gear. Had to be lifted with a sling to recover, but there was no charge.
I had to be picked up in the Supra once when a tyre exploded through Kesselchen during a TF day. That was 180Euros from memory. I had ADAC membership, which apparently when they were on duty would be included as part of your breakdown service. Of course it was another company operating that day, so had to pay along with some marshal flag waving time and about 30 euros for the admin to print the invoice. Wasn't bitter about the last line item at all!
The last time we did a TF day my pal spun his M3 at Kesselchen. Ignoring the barrier charge, the recovery company billed him for about 700euros. He haggled to closer to 500 for cash. Bill was made up of the base recovery, cleaning leaking fluids on the truck and then their storage facility, towing the car to an actual garage & 2 separate visits to see the car (which was actually just one, but 2 of us looked at it). Be nice if they were more upfront about the cost, otherwise it just seems like a scam. The M5 last week was simply taken to a helpful garage, rather than being held ransom at a random holding facility.

What does your car need these days?Yeah, I don't think I'm going to do TF again, it at least for anything other than cruising around (and tbf not all that sure about that)
Can't wait to get my car fixed up a bit and go out though
Primarily head lights, the drivers side high beam doesn't work.
But I'd like to get things like the stereo sorted, and the battery mount is kinda ropey, I'd like it much more secure.
Then I do have longer term ideas of a half cage etc, making it some what more of a track car, but not really sure, Will have to see how much I can get sorted over winter

Ye it's proper bollocks, real cash cow, a 180euro back in 2008 I think it was so god knows how much it is now, but it doesn't cost anything like to pop onto the track, pick up a car and recover 2 miles down the road. As much as I love the ring I think i've lost any interest in going again. Especially since when I am on track I end up with a go hard or go home mentality. For instance, I snapped my diff bolt on my m3 at a 142mph, the bit where the renaults like to roll over. I got it fixed and went back out and ran an 8.15 in a pretty much stock e46, taken the rex twice and both times it's had major issue's but working I honestly think it's a 7/7.30ish car and I know i'd be trying to do that, but a crash at the kind of speeds to do it, is either death or an extremally written off car and who knows what repair bill. Going to do some uk tracks I think.
