How feasible is it for a burger to "import" their car to Germany for a track day at the 'ring?
Surprisingly doable, round 1000€ shipping according to the internet.

usa port to german port
Just look at shipping costs and that's it. I've already seen a Cali plate in Belgium and Québec plate in France.

It's legal to drive on US plates and registration over there? Surely there's something you'd have to do at their DMV to get a temporary permit or something.

You're probably allowed for short periods of time as long as you have insurance, it's fairly common to see filthy rich arabs driving super cars around london on their own plates.

You have to order an international drivers license when you're still in the US, European cops may not accept your regular one. But it's just a formality, no additional tests or anything. The IDL is valid for one year. A vehicle registration is necessary if the stay lasts for longer than six months (185 days to be exact). Definitely carry your insurance documents with you and make sure your car insurance covers liability abroad at the very least, it's illegal to operate a car without valid liability insurance.

I know that most euro countries don't allow us driver license so you need an international one. As for insurance you have to check with yours.

It's not about not allowing or recognizing certain licenses. The international drivers license is simply a standardized format to make it easier for foreign authorities to decypher your drivers license. It may seem unnecessary for the US because it's already in English, but there are a lot of countries whose native drivers licenses are absolutely unintelligible, and that's how things work when you drive abroad. Except of course for EU drivers licenses which are already dual language and accepted in the entire EU.
