"Running Rings"

Since I've been planning for EF, I've also been looking at getting some petrol-headed action on the Nürburgring Nordschleife as well. Normally this is part of the Furball Run but unfortunately it looks like we're once again limited on ring days, as all the dates around EF16 are purely evening sessions. This is not helped by the FIM Superbike WC running on the same weekend as EF, which closes the track completely. In fact most of August and all of September are evening only sessions, which makes me think it's their prime period for renting out the track to private events during the day. As such I don't think EF will ever marry up with a good time to visit the ring. :( Looking at "Driver Training" days and other private events being run, there are a lot of unsuitable options. There's an amazing one in early August which unfortunately is too soon, since it also includes driving the wrong way around the ring, and brake failure simulation where you learn to use the armco to slow down. O_o Another alternative, this time too late on September 14-15th sees Sabine herself offering training with two other drivers for German National Grade A licenses, if only it were a week sooner. :~( Insurance for my own car still seems a non-starter. It seems that I may have been slightly incorrect before on the legality of driving the ring. European cover *does* provide third party insurance on the ring in the eyes of the law, so the Germans aren't going to throw you in cuffs just for driving around there. The problem arises when there's an actual claim, in which case your insurer will pay out on third party claims but they'll then come back to you to recoup those costs. tion=com_content&view=article&id=54&Itemid=79 ) also rent out cars for the ring, including evening sessions and most importantly, third-party insurance! The downside is you are talking in the region of €5,000 in excess fees. O_o Still, I'd rather pay €5,000 than €100,000 to repair that 911 GT3 I just took off the track......
