I spoke to Scott he said he had no coformation from Frank eighther so i think he will also book @ http://www.hotel-wilhelmshoehe.de/ :doubleup: Looks like we have some good roads to the hotel :drive: Ps it would be good to have a meet up and sort a few things out. Pick a pub & a date to meet that suits us all. Have a :chug: & a chat. I keep missing the normal meets as i work most weekends. So would be good mid week if poss. :doubleup:

Guys
From past experience we all know how tricky it is to keep more than 10 cars together even with radios.
You spend most of the time pulling over and trying to re group.

If we grow in numbers then i recomend we split into couple of groups for the journey down.

Just a quick bit of info for those sorting out insurance....

Whilst I was looking into this last year, I discovered that there is an agreement between insurance companies in EU states 'to offer the minimum level of cover in that state' when insuring motorists for driving abroad.
Makes a lot of sense, and seems like the purpose of it is too avoid unnecessarily complicated insurance issues.

So, in theory, whatever insurance policy you have, you will be covered.

So much for good ideas......

If there is small print excluding the Nordschleife by name or by any other wording then the insurance company will seek to claim the damages back from you.

Apparently its best not to ask your insurance company directly as they will invariably say 'no'. You need to look at the driving abroad small print to see if there is some clause regarding 'one-way de-restricted toll roads'. If there is, it is probably relating specifically to the Nordschleife.
(Although not too sure how the 'de-restricted' thing would stand up in court as the Nordschleife is a public road with many restrictions, including some speed restrictions - but wouldn't want to test this defense out myself!)

As I had just renewed last year (with Gary) I paid the £60. But my previous policy was less than £60 more than my current one and had no such (mean, considering the 'agreement') exclusion.

I can not get hold of my insurance company as they are shut for the week due to snow :rant: But going through my policy it says
Racetrack
Any track,field,circuit or road,including toll roads(with nomaximum speed limit)which is being used at the time of the loss or damage for racing,rallies,pacemaking,speed trial or track days.

I take it from this i would not be covered at all.Not being with Keith Micheal how do i get the insurance i need.

You could perhaps try some one like Adrian S Flux for track day cover. Or even Competition Car Insurance. Not sure of contact details, think a google search should bring them up.

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 
May be the cheapest but the service i found was very bad.I have had my bikes and cars insured with them in the past all good to begin with but if you want to ask questions or change anything watch out.Had a change of car mid policy and they wanted £85 off me when the whole policy was only £215 when i questioned it was basicly told like it or lump it.Cancelled it on the spot and went else where been with them now for 5 years with no b*****it.
