Have you always dreamt of doing the Nürburgring aka the Nordschleife ?
Well, better check if you wallet can handle the drain.
Because here are some prices in Euros:
1 trip all around E30,-
Hitting the safety-rails: E28,- per meter.
Installation-costs per meter: E69,-
Need a safetycar: E69,- per 30 minutes.
Need to close the "Ring" because of your accident: E1500,- per 30 minutes.
Towing: between E250,- and E350,-
All ex taxes.
Check your insurance for more info, but if you hit some-one, they will surely try to get you to pay all expenses.
Any volunteers left ?

I’m fine just driving the 405 thru the Sepulveda Pass!
footnote: I just heard that approximately 400,000 vehicles a day travel that route.

I would expect there are costs for those things happening.

It certainly would be a bragging point to say you (and your car) have done the Nurburgring course, but really deep pockets would be a requirement !

The 405 is bad enough without going up that hill!
Lol, so you know about it !! A few years ago the work van I was driving had a front tire blow-out. I was able to pull next to the center divider. No fun waiting for 511 to rescue me. Those guys are GREAT !! 👍

Sounds like the Garden State Parkway but Nurburgring is less expensive.

I’m glad to not ever driven in NJ ! My insurance is high enough. In Cali I have to pay a commercial fee cause my Explorer is a Sport Trak. It has a pick-up bed behind the four doors as opposed to the Explorer SUV. I pay an extra $81 fee for this ‘privilige’.
