Theres a lot of mixed abilities there Andy. I passed a GTR coming out of the chicane in the morning, must have been before he got his eye in! And I suspect a lot of people don't push the cars and are only giving it a little bit more than they would on the road.Yes Phil...suprised me to be honest going past those TVR's....I had a T350T and would have never thought the M£ had the legs against it....
tried it but no joking, the guy on the end of the phone (from tesco insurance) laughed down the phone when I said it was an asda event!!!I'm with admiral, and phoned them last year to ask about cover. Told them I was taking part in a private charity event at a car proving and test centre (Bruntingthorpe is not classified as a race track!) where I would be driving members of the public round as passengers for a charitable donation. Told them it was Bruntingthorpe. They checked with their underwriter and told me it was ok, I was covered and they would add a clause to my certificate to that end just to make sure. Luckily I didn't have to test them on it.
Try it, be open and honest with them, don't mention the words track or race and see what they say.
I believe flux do single day insurance - http://www.adrianflux.co.uk/trackday/#sr=g&m=o&cp=or&ct=-tmc&st=(opu%20qspwjefe)&ts=1401402261
Have you done trackdays before, any advanced driver training or high speed handling courses? If so make sure you tell them that. Have a look on pistonheads or some of the trackday forums, I guess this must come up a lot.
Glad you managed to sort it!ok, sorted hotel for fri/sat nights and sorted insurance............now just fingers crossed the ol' girl keeps going and gets all the way from one end of country to tuther!
petbri - never done track myself either.........has to be 1st time for everything!
Brunty is pretty tame, the only way you'll get much better is a private track hire. Lots of cars aren't driven at anywhere near the limit, just out giving passengers a ride. You can drive most of it just like a road; so long as you keep your eyes open for fast cars at the end of the runway (not much harder than joining a busy motorway) its absolutely fine.Would love to do this but only just bought the car and with no track day experience this looks probably a bit too hairy for me just yet. I think I may bring the family and come as spectators and just pay some of you guys to show me how it should be done! Check it out for doing it for real next year.
