Nurburgring Tourist day car rules

[JayK12]

Guys,

I have a new track and planning going to the ring on a tourist day. Last track car I took on DN rather than tourist as it wasn't road legal, this one is and the dates work better for me.

The car has these seats with door bars:




I've heard various things about winged seats bring banned and un-padded cages, along with cages with door bars.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks
Jay

Thanks guys, I can pad the cage out, and I have non winged bucket seats from the last car. I'm not sure how easily the door bars come out.

The door bars are same height as the bucket seat, so doesn't make it harder to get out.

Car is fully insured for road. Only issue is door bars.

Yup like 99% of the UK drivers on the ring.

Just seen the door bars are welded. So probably no tourist days. Will have to see if my I can fit DN in September.

As anyone actually been stopped without cage padding and with door bars? Do they actually check cars?

As said i can take the seats out and swap for none winged ones, and padding the cage, but i don't fancy grinding the door bar brackets off.

Cheers for that.

The door bars are quite low. I will see what i decide to do. But if i swap my seats, pad the cage, and hopefully that should be fine. From the outside this is no sharp edges etc, its pretty much standard.
