Insurance for the Nurburgring

[Tony B2]

Apologies if I have missed this over time....

I need a Nurburgring fix, and BMW/Audi driver training events are now seriously expensive, and getting a bit conservative/tame.

Ring rentals seem almost as expensive.

So, that leaves Touristfahrten and organised Nurburgring track days.

Can anyone recommend any insurances companies that would cover me for either, in a UK registered vehicle?

Moris and Reis will cover your own car on either track day or TF, but you certainly won't get any 3rd party cover and this is the big one for TF. They won't cover barriers either.

That is not quite right, by default you have 3rd party cover in Europe if you have an insurance policy, however, they can seek to reclaim costs from you in the event of an accident, including barrier costs.

TF days you do at your own risk as has been discussed many, many times.

This has been done-to-death for 12 pages just above your post, as soon as you click into "track days" it is 2nd from the top of the page, not quite sure how you missed that one.

And given that all UK policies specifically exclude the ring, then they certainly will and do reclaim their losses. Therefore, effectively there is no 3rd party cover.

Mine doesn’t.... not that I think for a second they’d not use another clause to come after me though.

If you hire a car in Germany this is covered I think?

Quite a lot of hire companies over there insert a clause excluding use on the ‘Ring I believe.
