StevoD Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Erm got to disagree 90% of insurance companys do not cover you on the nurburgring its in the small print and when i was with admiral it even said on policy it wasnt covered, so check you small print Legally your insurance company has to cover you a minimum of third party on the 'ring. It is a grey area though however. No it doesnt if it clearly states in black and white your are not cover for use on the nurburgring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parts of the ring are private and parts are not. Insurance companies can't wiggle out of that, but they don't have to give you full cover either.

Ekona Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It covers the 3rd party. It doesn't cover you, and if the 3rd party claims then your insurer comes after you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) . http://www.nurburgri...k/insurance.php foor those lazy to click and read: "The Nurburgring during Touristfahrten is a public road in Germany and German drivers' insurance covers damage to their property and third party claims on them. Until a few years ago, UK car insurance covered the same risks. The increasing popularity of the Ring and the substantial number of crashes there led insurance companies here to exclude the Nurburgring from comprehensive car insurance cover. Unless you have specific track day cover for the Nurburgring, UK general insurers will not pay to repair your car if you crash there. Third-party cover (anybody but you, including your passengers) is more complex. As the Ring is a public road during TF sessions, insurers cannot legally escape their obligation to meet third-party risks. In reality, because their contract with you excluded cover at the Nurburgring (see below), they are likely to pay out third party damages and recover these damages from you.
