I'm off to visit a friend an Germany next month, and we're planning to spend a day at the Nurburgring. Me in my Scooby and he's got a Smart (interesting choice for a track car!).
I heard a rumour a while ago that my car insurance (with the RAC) may be valid on the Nurburgring as it is officially a public road, albeit a one-way toll road. Does anyone know if this is the case?
or should I investigate a one day insurance plan?

When we went to the Ring last year our existing insurance policy covered us as it included European cover and as you rightly point out the Nurburgring is a German public road. If you're unsure I'd check with your insurance provider.

Jack - Sal,as usual, is correct 
... however most insurance companies INSIST on them being informed that the vehicle is off mainland Britain...

OK, I need to let them know I'm off to Germany anyway. Should I specifically mention the Nurburging? I'm just a bit nervous they'll get nervous and refuse, but then I guess if I NEED their cover (errmm!) They're more likely to object if I haven't told them.
Best cough to it now !
