I doubt anyone plans to crash . Lol
I wonder what Avis would had said if you got hit by an overly confident tourist pretending to be Stering Moss ?
All I remember is that I was given written instructions on the "rules of the road" and what to do in case of an accident etc.
It also stated that using a stopwatch was strictly " Verboten " ( I guess you can't go on a joy ride with Sport Chrono equipped Porsches ? )
Among other things I recall , it also stated that you entered at your own risk, since most car Insurance Companies will not cover you while driving on this "public highway"
PS: I plan to go over there in a few weeks ( not the Ring )
Could you please tell me at which Avis you were able to get the Cayman ?
I checked Frankfurt, Munich and Duesseldorf but the girl just laughed when I asked about renting a Porsche .
The best they can do is a lousy Benz . Lol
Thanks .

I ended up calling Avis at Frankfurt Airport, I found the NA 800 number useless, I was told nothing available by them. Called to airport, no problem, they had about 30 Porsches in there stable there.
Good luck, and have fun.

The car I had didn't have Sport Chrono, so timing wasn't possible.

Go to Porsche.com I found it somewhere on the site. You need to arrange the tour before you show up, otherwise you don't get in. I would do it now.

do yourself a favour and call Frankfurt Airport directly. The NA toll free number was a waste of time.
