What? Read what he said.

If you take out insurance to cover you for the Nurburgring, you're ok.

If you go assuming that your normal insurance will cover you, which it probably won't (I know mine doesn't) then you aren't covered.

New, special regulations for the Nurburgring Nordschleife for next year during TouristenFahen.

- All German cars, (which must by law TÜV approved) will be allowed, provided that they can produce TÜV certificates/papers for any modifications on the car on demand
- Non German cars which are standard will be allowed(*)
- Non German cars which are modified will be allowed provided they can produce TÜV certificates/papers for all modifications on demand.


The reason for this is to combat the growing number of race cars which have been using TouristenFahren for cheap practice with a set of foreign plates on, and similarly cars with questionable modifications.

What the general thinking of this, is it will be enforced somewhat like the current noise testing etc, i.e. provided your car looks alright and proper, and you're well behaved you will be unlikely to get challenged.

However, in the event of an incident you'd get in a lot of bother, if you couldn't produce papers...

Similarly if your driving or your car attracts attention to itself, you might be checked...


Most parts (e.g. KW suspension, AP brakes) have TÜV approval, so you should be able get papers for them easily if they didn't come with your kit, by writing to the manufacturer if you have lost them.

Bits off race cars might be harder to explain though..

Can see, and understand why they're doing this from a safety point of view....
Similarly, its going to hope the local specialists, who might well get more business, as a result of perhaps non German tuners not understanding TÜV regulations...


If you have specialist components in your car, for which you don't have TÜV certificates, it is possible to get a SuperTÜV done, but its quite costly.
