Yes, It Is Actually Possible to Get Banned from the Nürburgring for Having a Really Loud Car
Yes, It Is Actually Possible to Get Banned from the Nürburgring for Having a Really Loud Car-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:12

Honestly, the Nürburgring feels kind of like one of those tracks where literally anything goes. You can bring just about anything out there for a track day and mess around, spray paint the track if you think you can get away with it—you name it. Aside from outright reckless behavior, it’s hard to imagine getting banned from the Nürburgring.

Well, I am here to report that it is, in fact, possible. And that all it takes is a really loud car.

According to , the offender in question was driving a Nissan GT-R that is technically no longer street legal with the amount of mods it has received. This thing can gain a beastly 760 horsepower—but even more importantly, it makes a hell of a lot of noise. Enough for it to be race-track-illegal too.

See, this thing produces 134 decibels. If that means nothing to you, compare it to this: that’s louder than a . Afterburner included. And almost as loud as the aircraft carrier deck itself.

We’re not just talking loud. We’re taking straight up painful.

I mean, I get it. There’s something kind of satisfying about a loud race car. I spent hours with my Formula SAE team trying to shove our exhaust full of steel wool to dampen the noise because we were too loud to pass tech. To be fair to the Nissan owner, you notice it less when it’s your own car.

The Nissan only made it a few laps before it straight up got banned from the track until it can prove it’s not going to rupture any eardrums.

Leading Porsche Eats The Wall And We're Not Even Halfway Done With The Nürburgring 24
This year’s Nürburgring 24 Hours was looking like an easy home race for Manthey Racing, with two Porsche 911 GT3 Rs in first and second place mere moments before. Their shop’s just down the road, man. They’ll do fine! Sadly, their No. 911 Porsche driver Romain Dumas just crashed at...

One Aston Martin's Fuel Pump Only Lasted Through The First Hairpin Of The Nürburgring 24
It’s Craiglist’s favorite phrase beyond “no lowballers:” “needs fuel pump.” Unfortunately for the No. 40 Aston Martin Vantage V8, the first lap of the Nürburgring 24 Hours was a bit too true-to-Craigslist. A fuel pump problem brought their car to a halt at the first hairpin of the race. Driver...

The Nürburgring 24 Hours Will End In A 911 Versus AMG GT3 Deathmatch
Rain came last night to the Nürburgring 24 Hours and barely let up all morning. It’s been extremely slippery out there, which gave us a lot of attrition. Only two cars are on the lead lap with just under an hour left—a Mercedes-AMG GT3 and a Porsche 911 GT3 R—and...
