about €5k
My excess at the ring on a Clio was around €7k, can't see that being cheaper.

Ouch. Seems so unnecessary to drive a car like that in that location. You could still put your foot down pulling away from junctions etc and appreciate the 'Ferrari experience' without looking like a er, knob. Ah well, that experience will live with him -and his wallet-for a while I guess.

What, so the insurance only covered the last €1k of its value??!!

It's less, at least if it's the same company (their are two in the same street) I rented the F430 Scuderia from for 30 min. , which had an excess of I believe 3.500 euro....or was it 3.200 euro, well somewhere in that region...

7K on a Clio is quite hefty, allthough there are two differences, the Nurburgring is obviously a track and secondly you probably didn't get someone next to you to watch what you were doing.....

Don't forget on the ring you're also billed for recovery costs unless you're an ADAC member
