<off topic> - that's the Kleine Karussel - don't think you can enter the Karussel proper at that pace?!

Likely going from Dublin also first week end of September.

Last year I took the Dub-Holyhead, then Hull-Rotterdam, is this
the way you are going yourself ?

I find it minimize driving, the Hull ferry is quiet comfy, and by arriving at 8h30
in Rotterdam, you can be at the Ring at 11h00 without wasting time.

Would have loved to join in.....

It will depend on the insurer, and how good your lawyer is!

nope, it's the big karussel; it's uphill and you can see the area around steilstrecke in the distance

Glad my nerdy posting elicited some excellent pictures of Carraciola Karussel - clearly I should be able to enter & exit quicker than I currently do!

thanks for the pics J911

It should be noted that the enthusiasm with which one attacks the Karussell is directly proportional to the bills you get from replacing/repairing suspension parts!

have just explored the insurance angle - the position on a standard policy is evolving almost weekly and its hard to be comforted by policy language - as others have said you really need to proceed on the basis you are not covered

as for stand alone day/weekend top up cover you can get cover for damage to your own vehicle but not for third party liability (inc the Ring's own costs if you smash up the Armco/close it etc - for which you are back to a battle with your standard vehicle insurer - one view being that 3rd party cover isn't excludable only the own vehicle element)

I was quoted £592 for a day which would be for a vehicle valued at £65k with an excess of £6.5k - email me through my profile if you want the contact/more detail
