AA doesn't include the following

service for vehicles broken down as a result of taking part in any 'Motor Sport Event', including, without limitation, racing, rallying, trials or time-trials or auto test. However, for the avoidance of doubt, the AA does not consider 'Concours d'elegance' events, track test days for road-legal vehicles or rallies held exclusively on open public highways where participants are required to comply with the normal rules of the road, to be Motor Sports Events.

So you can take your car round silverstone at Trax, breakdown and the AA can then tow you home

Interestingly though I never knew this, but Tha AA do not cover you if you are involved in an accident

also does anyone know if this is true with Tha AA

They are no longer going to provide free 24/7 cover, something like between midnight and 6 am they will still come out, but you will be charged extra

I need to find this out pretty quickly as my renewal is due in the next few days

Check with your bank, I get 'free' AA cover plus 'free' travel insurance (amongst other things).
Sometimes there is a fee involved and/or you have to have a minimum amount going in to your account each month but in my case it is worth it.
