Default Can I buy insurance specifically for the Ring?

Just wondered if a track day type policy is available as I've heard the Ring charge enough for bent armco, never mind repairing car!
My insurers specifically exclude the Ring.
Will probably book train tomorrow anyway, join convoy & drive accordingly when I get there
Cheers, John

Yes you can indeed book Ring Insurance.

Try Greenlight, or Competition Car Insurance

Default Train booked!

Just booked train & breakdown cover Will sort hotel tomorrow.
For anyone interested I called Edgar Lawson today, cover for a £10k car at the ring was £140 a day! That doesn't cover damage to the track either.
Decisions, decisions....................
Cheers, John
