Default race car insurance?

Evening gents,
Im looking for some advice on insuring a pretty full on track car. the car in question is a modified blob and at this point im almost £3k a year with adrian flux - all mods declared. The Problem is that this month ill be adding a roll cage and a few other pieces thats sure to shoot the price up past what im willing to pay to keep it on the road. The only reason its on the road is i dont have access to a trailer or tow vehicle so its handy for driving to and from the track.

can anyone recommend a good alternative or does anyone know of a specialist sort of cover that would cover going to and from track / race events only?

I'd be a struggle.

For what the insurance will cost you're better off hiring a tow car and trailer

I did think as much. This is the trouble with being young and having a filthy track car habit haha. It was worth asking though.

More over time needed I guess. Tow vehicles aren't cheap lol

Hi,
If you wanted to PM me your details and what sort of modifications you are looking at I'd be happy to take a look at it for you. Hopefully if you already have a number of modifications disclosed the additions won't make too much of a difference.
Regards,
Dan.

Now that's more like it! however with a 70k wrc car and a business like godspeed I doubt you're 22 years old with a recent crash such as myself haha. Thankyou though that's the advice I was looking for I'll give them a call when I come back from work.

I don't expect to get cover for any where near £500. For me the limit is around the 3k mark. Any more and I deem it financialy unjustifiable as I'm just a normal young lad with a normal salary who wants to do some racing. Got to pay bills first unfortunately
