Re: Warranty exclusion?
I can't see a reason why would porsche void the warranty when using the car on a track wether it is the nordschleife or any other ones.
It is a sportscar and porsche knows that sometimes customers will take them to the tracks because or driving regulations in some countries.

Does anyone know if non-competition driving on the Nordschleife voids a Porsche new-car warranty?
AUM
Yes. Unless it is part of the Porsche Driving School or any other "high quality" driving school with the emphasis on safety.
I would worry much more about insurance coverage.

But during the public days/times, the Nordschleife is an open (one-way) road where the german road rules (StVO) apply, isn't it? So why would this void the warranty?
Well, don't ask me.
Maybe because neither Porsche nor insurance companies are dumb?! 
It doesn't matter if it is a public street or not, racing events, even under a "controlled" environment, are not covered by insurance. And what isn't covered by insurance, isn't covered by the warranty. Somehow a "general rule".
Only exception are official Porsche Driving school events or other driving safety events which are certified. The insurance usually pays for crashes during such events but it may be wise to check with them before.
I can only speak about german insurance companies and Porsche Germany but I suppose it isn't much different in other countries, especially in Europe.

Re: Warranty exclusion?
Yes, the claim on warranty is racing not driving around track (there are many contradictions for this specially with UK track days). It would be such a nonesense not to cover warranty around the ring (without racing) when they develop the car there and use it to sell cars.
"Buy a Porsche but there is only warranty at -120km/h speeds" (in Spain case) sure you could get a good media story if Porsche refueses to pay a broken electric window because you tracked the car without racing
Insurance is a completely different matter and I do not see the link between insurance and warranty
