Just had a couple of questions, is it possible to hire a crash helmet for the day or will I need to purchase my own and secondly any advice regarding track day insurance?

You can rent the helmet there...deposit of fifty pounds and a charge for to day.

insurance will have a large excess so shop around and make your choice...most go without.

Yes John you can hire a helmet...I thinks it £20 plus deposit which you get back....

Insurance - This is down to the individual...Some have it some don't.......Touch wood in three years we have not had any incidents but all depends how you feel about it. Insurance can make the track day expensive but then it you do dent it it could cost a lot more...

Its a very safe way to enjoy your car and you don't have to worry too much about other traffic just your own ability.

John, you can buy an open face scooter helmet off Ebay for £30, that's what I did plus as its open face its far less constrictive.

Oh, I may have a spare bed now in my room at the George if Dave does not make it.

It's available if anyone is stuck or the George is full.

Moving swiftly on...

Interested the eBay helmet idea. Though doesn't a helmet need a specific sticker on it showing a rating for track use - I don't recall how much the chap at Llandow checks that. But a cheap, light, open-face helmet would suit me much nicer than the 15 year old full face bike helmet I usually usually use. I know my bike helmet has the gold race sticker on it though.

Cheers

I'm looking forward to joining you all on Friday.

Is there a pit area etc where I can leave fuel cans and other bits and pieces out of the car? I assume there's no refuelling restrictions?

Cheers

Bike helmets are fine, there is a big paddock where we all kick about when not on track. It's really relaxed. There is a garage 5 mins down the road for fuel.

Ok thanks for the info, so do you fellas just nip out to refill rather than topping up from cans?
