    Nürburgring is not a safe track. It is not unusual for the track to be closed several times a day for cleanup, repair, and medical intervention. The track management does not publish any official figures, but regular visitors to the track have used police reports to estimate the number of fatalities at somewhere between 3-12 in a full year. Thankfully the new XJ just had minor damage to the bonnet after a crash from a test drive on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

    Well ... duhhhhh !! ... They leave anyone onto it and they make no bones about how its at your own risk.

    Hence why no insurance company will cover you on it.

    Would fancy being the test driver going back to his employers. Unless of course it's a design fault! :)

    You're right. It's a racing track. And arguably the best in the world.
