Hi,

I fancy the idea of taking my MY03 WRX PPP out for a trackday session, probably combined with a bit of instruction, as I've never done a track session before. Nothing too heavy but just a chance to really wring it out a bit and learn in the process.

I'm near to Elvington, Yorks, so that would be my initial choice.

Putting aside the issue of Tyre wear and brakes, I just can't afford to risk a prang without insurance (from a financial point of view). I can persuade the missus that it won't knacker the car too much, but would risk a slow lingering death if I came home with it smashed up (or worse).

With this in mind I'd given up on the idea of using it for a trackday, but read recently that you can get one day insurance cover for trackdays.

Does anyone know what the situation is regarding this? Any other advise?

Ta,

Chris.

Hi Chris,

Go for it, airfield days are good for first trackdays, as they are usually devoid of obstructions being laid out on the runway with cones or similar.

There are companies who specialise in track day insurance, though I have always had cover on my main insurance policy.

Try to get out early with an instructor, they will show you the lines and help you with track etequette (sp?) and get you up to speed quicker than if you just go out on your own.

Good luck
Andy

Andy,

Thanks for the feedback

>>though I have always had cover on my main insurance policy<<

Jeez, i didn't think a 'normal' insurance company would touch a trackday session. What kind of cost are we talking about per session? I'm presuming it covers all eventuallities as per Fully Comp?

Thanx

Chris.

Just phoned up Norwich Union and asked the question. The bloke on the other end of the phone sounded like he thought I was raving mad (which i am..) and had never heard of such a thing as a track day!
