Good question, Marek Smiley First one has to know that damaged armco is a welcomed revenue source for the Nürburgring GmbH - so even if you only cause very light damage they' ll replace it at your costs Smiley

Secondly the meters are counted per layer. At some sections like Kesselchen (where my buddy had his crash) there are three layers of armco - hence the 147 m translate into a strip of 49 m where the armco was damaged.

Still sounds like too much ? Smiley Well, he lost control at 200 km/h + ,went into the grass, hit the armco, swung around rolled 3x and zigzagged between the armcos (right/left), hence the damage occured on both sides of the track. The impact was so heavy that he even destroyed 30 m of fence (behind the armco). He had more than one Guardian Angel that day: full roll cage, bucket seats + 6-point harness saved his life (he even had no injuries). Even though the track doctor sent him to the Adenau hospital for some x-ray examination because he said: the looks of the car wreck doesn't suit the assumption that you didn't suffer any injury.

Anyway, they charged him 11,000 Euro for the armco - that's 50% of the average amount becoming due during a full VLN race weekend with 200 cars or so....Smiley
