One of my friend got expulsed from Bilster Berg. And when I asked for Zaandvort, an organisation said that is was a no-go with a 991GT3.
You can also avoid Zolder. Unless you got an unrestricted day.

That's very reasonable actually but i'd be so nervous about the car getting a ding or worse - logistics and all I think it would take away from the vacation. Leave your car safe at home, arrive rent race and leave.
Also should something happen to one of the vehicles mechanically etc. you pretty much just screwed your trip.

The bigger issue is finding car insurance - if you're not ex-military.

I am going to Spa and Ring for track days at each and using RSR Nurburg. Expensive but a well run outfit and they do have the GT3 available. Don't get it for Ring, I did my first time and it's just too much car for a Ring rookie. Spa is doable, as it is smoother and has runoff.
Finally don't do it unless you have the fortitude to write off the car.

Are you sure about Bilster Berg and Zaandvort? They have some low noise limitation.

Was no problem for me. My Allstate agent recommended a company out of Virginia or DC. They took care of everything and provided me with the "Green card". Guys this was really an easy thing to do. I can provide the shipping company's information if anyone is interested. They specialize in auto export to Europe and the Middle East specifically. Great guys to deal with.
BTW - really enjoyed your following the thread on your trip from a couple of years ago!!
