Do not, I repeat, do not hire an ordinary rental car for the ring. Every (or almost every) company excludes the ring. Some cars have GPS trackers and they also have dedicated spotters around the ring that look out for rentals. Renting a car used to be a popular sport amongst the british, who also took the trouble to crash some cars. Several lawsuits still going on as we speak.

Ringtaxi is a lot of money and probably already booked solid for that period. Paxlaps aren't a real problem at the ring, just browse around some ring-dedicated websites and make sure you get in the car with a veteran.

@the rest: While they may claim that the ring is a public road, every sane person knows that insurance companies can claim that you were participating in a time trial, race or driving recklessly (particularly that last one is a nice catch22). Especially if you were stupid enough to crash. Evolve was VERY lucky that the damage was just 1200E (which is almost nothing), If he had grabbed a few extra meters of triple armco's our friend here would have been on a life long repayment plan. Such is the risk at the nurburgring. I know plenty of people that have had to pay the damage from their own pockets, most of them had it available on their bankaccounts and accepted the risks.
