Is the "ring" closed to foreigners this year

[DSS123]

I've heard a rumor that the Nurburg ring is closed to foreign registered cars this year?

Surely not - anybody know for sure?

I understood they put an aditional ticket barrier machine that accomodates RHD cars towards the end of last season.

Yeah. Big mistake actually. The experiment didn't work and it has been removed. No need for it any more.

You got your car sorted yet? Or had it been written off?

They wrote it off as expected. Currently in the process of negotiating a final settlement, but the good news is i can buy it back at 10.5% of the settlement for salvage and break it for parts.

I have my eye on something cheap and fun like a 205GTi in the meantime, I've got a trip booked to Germany in September

I heard that the Ring is only going to be open to vehicles with snow chains.

I was suprised to see on the webcam last week that there was more snow in March then there was when we were there over new year :shock:

Any trips planned this year in the 964 J?

The RS lives in Nurburg, so yes, many trips planned
And of course the RS is German registered and so won't fall foul of the German cars only rules.

Good man, I hope to see you out there at some point. First week in Sept is booked and ready, and might see if i can sneak another trip in at some point
