350z crash at 'Ring

[Luke0549]

 

I think the description says a 12m section cost 1200 euro.

 

ouch!

[Suits]

He came off lightly there in my opinion, lol.

 

:teeth:

[WhackyWill]

Went in a bit hot and under steered off into the barrier..anybody we know ?

[Ekona]

Lucky man.

[glrnet]

Looks like left hand drive and foreign plates so unlikely anyone on here (hopefully)

[BillyZed]

Looks like his bag of talent wasn't deep enough

[RDON]

completely the wrong line into the corner!!!!!!!!!! WTF

[350 Russ]

understeered like an audi!

In case anyone's interested, I dug this up online for the Nurburgring.

• Base fee for attendance of armco truck: €150
  
• Removing damaged armco: €10/metre (x2 or x3 or x4 for multiple-height sections)
  
• Replacement armco: €31/metre (x2 or x3 for double/triple height)
  
• Removing damaged armco posts: €5.10 each
  
• Replacing armco post: €39 each
  
• Safety car attendance: €82 per 30 mins (car + 2 people)
  
• Circuit closure: €1,350 per hour
  
• Recovery truck: €190 (inc VAT)
  
• Hospital stay & air ambulance: Let's just say, do NOT go there without travel insurance! (Though a European Health Card - which replaced the E111 - may cover the hospital bit.)
  

Everything except the recovery truck is then subject to 19% VAT.

and that's why no one will buy it and eventually it will get closed!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr no common sense these days.....

[StevoD]

Dont think that would have warranted a safety car and looks like he luckily just tapped the end of that outset barrier,

[WhackyWill]

Your best bet is to hire their Suzuki cars and take out their insurance.

 

Those Suzuki's are quick if driven properly.

 

More than enough for the average Club driver.

It must be so devastating crashing your pride and joy, then having to pay a load of cash to the ring.

[Wendy]

Agree with the Suzuki's - I took one out last year - All Race prepared - I think fairly priced too.

 

Great fun !!

 

I too thinkin the scheme of things he got off lightly too, although yes of course if it were your car, of course you would be mortified.

 

There is talk of Bernie buying the Ring - don't know what stage that is at now though.

[NeilMH]

Agree that it could have turned out a lot worse.

Imagine if you'd crashed, wiped out a say 5 metre section of armco, then your car caught fire on the track itself. The cost of re-tarmacking a section along with the closure of the track and the barriers and everything else...

 

I guess I can see why so many companies won't do Nurburgring track insurance!
