There seems to be quite a choice if you decide to go for a track rental car as with some shown in the vid, what I was saying about crashes there's one at the end which will cost the driver and its a 3 series.. Ough!

You are making a lot of wild statements about the Nurburgring, but seem to know very little about it.
Nordschleife is the part of the circuit that is usually used for TF. There is also the GP track. The Nurburgring is the name of the whole company.
The Nurburgring dont do any rentals. The rental companies are separate independent companies, unrelated to the Nurburgring.
The recovery truck costs ~€150. Hardly breaking the bank.
It does get expensive is with track damage, but still usually in the low single thousands. This website gives the prices for track repairs:

The 2 series (not 3 series) that crashed at Brunchen at the end of the video only lightly tapped the barrier, he likely did minor, if any damage to the barrier. The youtubers are banned from showing crashes as per the media licence they get from the Nurburgring. That is why you dont see crashes on youtube anymore.
Where you can get massive bills if you damage another car, most non-german insurance policies have clauses specifically banning the Nurburgring. The insurance companies are still obliged to pay out (because it is a public road during TF) but they will come after you. That is why I have a german-registered car left at the nurburgring, so I have insurance for such a situation.
