Nurburgring travel insurance

[JPToadstool]

Hey guys,

Heading to the Nurburgring for a stag do this weekend, and have been searching without much success for travel insurance that covers driving on the ring. Have looked through the bimmerpost forums and bridgetogantry, but can only find information on car insurance, which isn't as necessary as we have a rental race car (a Suzuki Swift). Has anyone got any ideas for companies that would provide travel insurance that would cover this? Or alternatively, companies to stay away from would help too.

Thanks in advance!

I decided to go for Alpha Insurance in the end, called them and they said it would be covered when you add-on activity pack 6. Thought I'd post it here as I'd had difficulty finding a company to cover it, and this may help someone in future. I was also recommended insuremytrackday.com on Bimmerpost, but their cover starts at £40 according to the website.

Yeah, I agree, I'd never do it without a helmet, but I was glad to have the health cover in the event that something went wrong. So sad to hear of fatalities whilst we were there, there were 3 closures of the track whilst I was there, and the med-team was out there incredibly quickly.

From my experience there this weekend, most of the drivers are okay, but you will occasionally get someone testing their boundaries and not realising where their limit is. For anyone heading out there, I'd plan for several closures of the track, apparently 6 a day is normal for tourist weekends, so bare that in mind if you're with a large group. Also, our rental car had an engine management issue that prevented myself and others from having a drive around, which I'm pretty gutted about.
