New Venture at The Ring?
Discussion
An insurance policy as you describe would be prohibitively costly.But dont you think the knowledge of being completely covered would lessen the in built safety margin of most people.
All cars would infact be new, so that takes care of two points, tyres/mechanical condition.As for the mechanical insurance, used as an example, if a driver-for whatever reason, engages first at the bottom of Fox Hole causing the box to explode.Who should be liable?
Are roll cages really needed? Again, some would feel indestructable (people still die in caged cars) thinking "it wont matter if I roll it".Yes, it can be some else who causes a roll but its quite rare when considering how many roll free laps are completed during a season.
Helmets are usually supplied by most rental companys.In fact RSR insist on customers waring one (supplied foc)
Thanks for your input btw;)

Apparently all of the cars have been well chosen, all the way upto a P1.
Everything obviously will be insured to the maximum that a vehicle can be insured for.
Just maybe there is still room for another company-heard plenty of moans on here alone about the established company's so, a fresh company with new ideas could go down very well.
As for clients, its a big world out there, thousands of petrol heads from UAE for instance, most of those people dont have spending restrictions apparently.
There are other countries as well to chose from.
Still, its all hyperthetical at the mo, just looking for ideas and feedback, so thanks for yours.

Drive the ring? Where does that come into it.Not heard of that one.
Thanks for the imput dale.Yes, it is a very risky venture that requires a very large input of cash/backing and a great deal of thought and planning-hence the original question.
Just for the record, this was born from a conversation with some non european friends who are regular visitors to Germany.The question of how things could possibly be improved (oddly enough the compulsory wearing of a helmet triggered the whole conversation!) Various things like a longer main gate car park to ease the sometimes very overstreched exit, possibly allowing the circuit to remain open during those busy times.Improving public facilities at Brunnchen etcetera.Will it ever happen ? I think theres a good chance just as long as we all keep buying petrol.;)
And the question of how to lessen the fatalities of course.
