Curious, how much (in US$) does it cost for a lap? Are there any tech/safety rules to run the ring?

Speaking of 'ring videos this is a very good professionaly made video. With a track map and lots of various camera shots/angles. Not much for safety gear though...

Nice video!
Anyway, this track is too dangerous for motorcycles...

Single lap €16
4-lap ticket €56
8-lap ticket €108
15-lap ticket €195
25-lap ticket €305
Jahreskarte: Full year €798

-Car must be street legal with licence plate, treaded tires, insurance, ect.
-no more than 95dB
Motorcycle riders must wear full leathers. Nothing is required in cars, no helmet, no tech inspection, no nothing (you do get a pretty heavy fine if you leak fluids on the track, plus you are responsible for any accidents caused by the fluids you leak)
passing is done on the left (passing car signals left, car being passed signals right to let the passer know he knows he's there, the pass) or at least that's how it's supposed to happen.
All street laws apply if there is a wreck the cops come and treat it just like any accident on a public road -- because it is.

Legally, it's a 1-way public toll road with no speed limits.
