Well, if you intend going, here are the new rules. Fresh from Marshall's briefing...
Everybody:
• Stupid parking (i.e. any parking not in a clearly marked place) will be rewarded with a 100% guaranteed winning ticket to pick your car up from an exciting location in Adenau. This means verges, over kerbs, abandoned next to mates cars which aren't moving etc...
• Crap parking will also be rewarded with a day-long ban from the Nordschleife AND its car park.
• Parking capacity will be expanded before season begins to match the above enforcement.
• No change to basic rules - no vids, no paid taxi laps, etc...
Modded cars:
• Bonnet pins are now TOTALLY forbidden. Even if covered with tape or rubber. It's flush mount or standard bonnets only
• Interior trim - NO sharp edges or even tatty-looking 'rip outs' will be tolerated. You must have door cards installed, you can't leave shin-breaking metal beams uncovered under your dash.
• Roll bars and cages must be padded where your body will hit them. This will be checked more.
• Expect more TüV time - this is where a Meister guy from the the standards body here in Germany spends time at the gate spot-checking for safe and unsafe cars. This can only be a good thing provided the decisions are consistent.
There may be more to come...
