I'm sending mine this week. They ask is your car race prepared. I presume ours are road cars and aren't really race prepared.

Sent mine in the post yesterday. It says on the instructions that some insurance companies may cover you in the event of an accident as it may not be classified as racing. Has anyone actually contacted insurance companies for their view on this ?. Probably not, i'm sure they'd only laugh.

I had it confirmed that we are in fact driving in the afternoon slot.
On previous occasions in Mondello the Porsche club always had the day after but due to timetable pressures there now we are sharing the day with them. It will also definitley be the International circuit.

Get your applications in asap though to guarrantee that we can afford it!

Ado - forget about insurance. A standard road policy generally states that competitive or track use is not covered. You would need a special track day policy. We tried organising this in the past and they didn't really want to know. Just drive within your limits and you shouldn't do anything wrong.

If you'd really like insurance for the day, I've got a quote from

http://www.competition-car-insurance.co.uk

The guys name is Chris Yemm, if you want a quote just mail him (cyemm@eggerlawson.co.uk) and he'll send you a form.

Personally I think it's a bit steep for the day...Stg£283 with a Stg£3,700 excess. But that's on an M3 and once any insurance company hears you want to insure one them it's like a licence to 'rip you a new one'

If enough people were interested in insurance, he might be able to work out some kind of group deal? Or have you guys been doen this route before?

In the event of an accident you'll have paid out €5750. If thats all it costs you to repair an M3 you'll be doin well.
I'd do it if I was taking an M3 out and intending to drive the ar*e out of it!

@Killian - travelling next week so will get the form in the following once I get back.

@Aidan - cant wait to hear that V8 scream down the pit straight, definiely want to sit in the passenger seat if you are happy to take out a passenger.

@Killian (again) - I pressume that if you a paid up driver this covers you to be a passenger or do you need to pay the passenger fee also?

Roll on March!!!!!!!!

Had the car out last July on a very quiet trackday and found that after a few laps the M5 does not scream down the straight, its more of aloud BELLOW,anyway its the only time I've ever got the exhausts hot enough to make them sound the way they should ie:lots of popping and banging on the overrun

Should be a bit of fun...he.he.he

Speaking of M5s, I was onto Murphy & Gunn this evening, inviting them along and was talking to Kelvin. Apparently, as part of his development in understanding how customer's cars work, he has to head over to Rockingham to complete "non-technical training in the new M5" - in English this means he is getting paid to go over and drive the new beast on track!
