Getting towed off €300 euros min could be €600
Hit a barrier €1500 euros min (could be as much as €6000)
If you need safety car - that is so much per 30mins (€100?)
Hit another car with German numberplates on it - they will want to claim on your insurance
Under German law - this is not a race track - it is a one way public toll road
If your accident closes the track you get billed - €1350 per hour
Costs of getting it wrong on the track - are expensive .
Then you still gotta get you dead/blown up/crashed car home and repaired afterwards.

If the Nurburg is on your bucket list of things to do and you not made of money - book a passenger seat in a ring taxi...

Not the suspension arm bolts on my dads VW. They were solid when it was less than 4yrs old.
As the owner of a 208,000 34yr old Italian car used in all weathers, mostly stored outside, I've only got one set of data on that - but it disagrees with part of your statement
A mate of a mate sort of thing - crashed, killed his mate in the passenger seat. Stepped in front of a HGV on local bypass a year later . . .Absolute madness from ill prepared, inexperienced loon wannabees. I'm amazed there are at most 12 fatalities a year on these public days

Ride in a "ring taxi" is allot of fun - the driver gonna go faster than I ever would. Done it a few times - in harness with helmet on.
I have done the ring on a bike - booked two laps - this was when cars and bikes were mixed - I could not stand the high powered Audi's looming down on me at corners - so did not go out for second lap (bottled it).
I did it and survived intact. Drew off when I thought it was getting dangerous.
I would not do it again with me at the helm - only in a ring taxi. Few of my mates - addicted to it. Trailer cars over to do it...

The German economy doesn't need my hard earned, I'm sticking with something that's at least built in this country. 5 out of my current 6 vehicles at least. Istorically, I'll need to think about that, it's been a while
On the subject of the Nurburgring, I did it quite a few years ago now in my SD1 Vitesse. It was all a bit of a surprise really as I was expecting to pull in to the place, drop the wife and kids off with all the shopping at the cafe for a bit while I went for a blast round. Except as you pull off the main road your right at the barrier! So we just went round anyway, at speed!
