If I'm not mistaken, the Nurburgring (sp?) actually has parts of it that are public roads. There are sections of the track that are driven on by delivery trucks, family sedans, mopeds, etc. every day. In fact, anyone can do a hot lap of the track on almost any day. All you do is approach what is essentially a toll booth at the beginning of the track, pay like $15-20, and away you go. They don't even make you sign a waiver because the attitude is "you mess up and die, it's your fault, not the track administration's." How cool is that?
