Fun fact: it's cheaper to crash your car on the public road. If you crash it here the damages of your car are NOT covered by any sort of insurance, furthermore you pay a huge amount to fix any barriers you might have damaged + big fee to get towed. Also, if another car crashes into you that person will have to pay you out of his own pocket if he wants to, if not, you have to sue since road insurance doesn't cover racing and to get "racing" insurance for the ring it's thousands of Euros and not worth it. Bottom line - I will race on the streets and if I kill someone at least I don't have to pay as much as it would cost to damage a barrier on the ring, worth it!
