The nurburgring is considered a one way public toll road with no restrictions during tourist rides. Since you do not need a helmet to drive on public roads in germany(minus bikes) you do not need a helmet to drive on the nordschleife. Similar situation on hockenheimring... Everything is at your own risk, no one holds liability except the drivers themselves.

A helmet is NOT required at the 'Ring. It is just a regular one way toll road as far as the German driving laws are concerned. |

Pretty cool that they allow it though - maybe they trust people that they know what they are doing more than we do Stateside. Might be a cultural difference and most likely a difference in the laws. If the event organizers are not liable for people's stupidity, they won't come up with helmet requirements...
