and spillages and recovery and if you smack someone else your insurance wont cover it and if a bike or car crashes because of spilt fluid or to take avoiding action guess what, yep you have to pay! plus all injuries, health car after and ambulances/ helicopters. also if the track has to be closed because of your actions, yep, you have to pay!

everything is counted. one guy spill some power stering fluid over the track and his wheels this year EPM. Then he hit and luckily just scratch the bariers. They charge him for two hours cleaning and recovery over 350€. He was lucky he didn't damage anything else just his car. Next day another two cars crashed. I had feelings to not go because track was opened late and there was a lot too many cars on it. One of them lads wasn't so lucky. I heard he was taken of the track by ambulance. Track was automaticaly closed as he damage few meters of bariers. They charge him for all of it. I'm quite sure you can find price list on official web.

It's open for public to make money and this is what they doing there. I don't think 26€ for one lap ticket will be able to cover all damage to the track and provided services. if basicly every day they have one or more cars to recover

I've read what K30DPC & 4thgenphil have put and am wondering how the ring could have ever been in such financial difficulty to start with? Surely if there is this many occurrences as well as public members paying to hit the track (pun intended) then it's a pretty good money maker.

Of course, their expenses haven't been accounted for...

It's kind of put me off going a bit to be honest.

Cheaper to pay £400 for an open pit lane track day there. No charge for any armco or track damage & a lot safer & more controlled than tourist day.

Also you get to lap with cars like the Ferrari 599
Fxx that was practising for a lap record on our
track day

yeah that's what ruined it they built an "entertainment" complex hotels and theme park and it nearly bankrupt them it was touch and go whether the ring would close at one point.
