Make sure you get european car breakdown BUT be warning the "RING" is an exclusion zone with most Insurance policies with the amount of trailers in the off road Car park get it back to the Hotel before you call

Laps prices are very approx in £'s

1 lap = £21
4 laps = £75 + £8 food voucher+ 1 ring werk ticket (theme park)
15 laps = £260 + £17 food voucher+ 1 ring werk ticket
25 laps = £400 + £25 food voucher+ 1 ring werk ticket
season ticket = £1140+ £85 food voucher+ 2 ring werk ticket

Unlike a Trackday on a Touristenfahrt days, have an accident with another car or Bike the Police get involved and whoever they deem is at fault will be TOTALLY liable for ALL costs and injuries (or worse) IIRC

this is a quote off Ben lovejoys site

"if you drive on with leaking fluids, you will be legally and financially responsible for every crash that occurs as a result. That means you pay for their cars, bikes, injuries, armco bills, the works. You will also pay for the cost of cleaning the fluids from the track, and the costs of closing the track to do it"


"The safest bet for breakdown cover at the Ring is to join ADAC. They will recover you from the Ring without the usual €175 recovery charge, and for £50 you can get cover that is valid in the UK also."


Get GOOD insurance because.......

If your lucky and just hit a barrier heres prices (approx in £'s)

Breakdown truck = £160 +0%vat
Armco Truck attendance = £120
Removing Armco = £8 x2 x3 x4 depending on height
Replacement Armco = £28 per metre x2 or x3 depending on height
Removing and replacing Armco Posts £40 each
Safety car attendance = £70 per 30mins
Circuit Closure £1100 per hour
add 19% VAT to all but breakdown

about £12,600 is the highest bill paid for Armco apparrently..

enjoy
