AA 5-Star excludes the Ring by name in its European Breakdown Cover Terms and Conditions:
http://www.theaa.com/services/europe...own_terms.html

What we will not cover
8: The cover is not available to vehicles which are overloaded, used in
rallying, off-road driving or in the Nürburgring or for motorsports.

Green Flag states that they now do not cover "de-restricted toll roads" - same meaning as car insurance companies.

So guess RAC is the best bet, or ADAC the German firm.
