I only mentioned the US, because I've only raced on US tracks. It's interesting to know that factory equipment is the only necessity. In any event, the only portion of your comment that I disagreed with is calling other locales "nanny states" because insurance companies enforce regulations. It's a matter of risk exposure versus insurance premium.
Insurance carriers require such things in the US. It has nothing to do with being a "nanny state". I'm willing to bet that factory test drivers for German automakers also wear safety equipment.
Nurburgring isn't in the US. I suggest you read up on it. It isn't a track in the typical sense, but a public access road used as a "track." If you have a road legal car (euro standards) you can buy a ticket to race on the track. No safety equipment required beyond what is required by law from the factory. Got a vert with no bars and no helm, no problem.
Wow. What a dream to race on this “track”!
Damn, that thing gobbles up some real estate in a hurry.
Seriously... How much does it cost to drive at this place, and where is it?
Just listen to that thing when it pumps over 6000 rpm.... Heaven
Cool vid, and nice driving!
No, this is a 7.0L.
KatechPerformance which engine package?

No helmets. Verts without roll bars. Safety workers hanging out on the edge of the racing surface. Do they have no safety regulations?!
Not everywhere is a nanny state. The Germans are awesome.
Nurburg, Germany
