It’s governing body Nürburgring has issued new rules for this year. They explain that the integral baquets and safety bars (popularly known as roll) integrals are prohibited in the “circuit” the days of free entry, the Touristenfahrten. Also, are prohibited and removable ash HANS systems. Input, can seem nonsense to prohibit security features in an environment that is going to drive a lot faster than normal. However, this prohibition merely conform to current legislation. It’s baquets are prohibited including side supports for the head, as impossible to turn your head when overtaking.
Similarly, if you own a Renault Mégane R26.R or 911 GT3 RS, both equipped with safety bars in the cabin and seats baquets, you are not going to refuse entry to the ‘Ring. You can not enter if you wear a cage of competition, with protective bars on the sides of the doors.
All these items are normally prohibited in a car on the road will open. And therein lies the crux of the matter, the Touristenfahrten not track days, does not close the circuit specifically for the batches. The Touristenfahrten, as the name suggests, is to “tourists” and to walk in what many people forget, is a “toll road way”. So apply traffic rules as any other road in Germany.
Indeed, there are more rules than attending a day of Touristenfahrten must remember, as the prohibition of drift, pass on the right, you suck Bumper before going to miss you, etc. Basically, it calls for respect for traffic rules. Otherwise the fine is 250 euros. And as always if “you the fault” in Germany, plus a fine for losing control of the car (are not you supposed to control it at all times?) Have to pay for the damage caused to the circuit.
Indeed, what of “Turnpike way” is a term coined by all car rental companies in Germany that expressly prohibit the use of their cars in such roads. As only one of its kind in Germany. Flying is over there in that low-cost and rent a 911 for the ‘Ring as the late 90s.
