jaymdee Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I just got a quote from http://www.competition-car-insurance.co.uk for my supra which I valued at £8000 Quote was £104 with an £800 excess! I think that is a bit much and the excess is quite hefty! OR is that actually quite competitive? Have a look at http://www.moris.co.uk/index.htm - probably be cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 How many people are that unconfident that they think they'll crash? It's starting to get a little worrying! I'm not bothering with track insurance. I still might crash tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 How many people are that unconfident that they think they'll crash? It's starting to get a little worrying! Just drive to your own level. People will be sent out according to class and car power so you should be on the track with similar experience. There shouldn't be any problems unless someone does anything really stupid - and if they do drive stupid they're ejected from the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I hate the Travelodge website.

lockys96 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 oh and track insurance for me is £75 for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 defo, i called them, and they said they couldnt book it over the phone either. i think i tried around 20 times online odd, they told me I could book over the phone but I'd have to go with the £51 option instead of the £39. Being as tight as I am, I put the phone down and managed to get the interweb to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tim_B Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Whats the noise limit - 105db? My car made 103db at Donny today and I got booted out Don't want that happening again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 The noise limit is 105dB, measured as a drive-by, but I'm not sure what distance and I don't know if they measure it at a certain distance but then calculate the noise level closer to the car (useless I know, but that's all the track booking side of the arrangement couuld tell me). I'll try to get more info from them about this, helmets, what happens if peope turn up late etc then get that info out to everyone this week.

SteveR Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Good news on the helmet front one & all! I called the track today to iron-out a few last minute questions I had so I can stick the naswers into the info pack I'm preparing for you all. The short story WRT helmets is as follows; Helmets are a MUST for the track use. You can use whatever you think is up to the job (e.g. motorbike helmet) as ensuring YOU have adaquate protection for YOUR head is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. THe track will only step-in if you're being a complete prat and turn up with a cycle/skiiing/etc helmet which clearly wouldn't be up to the job. If you would like to buy a basic helmet, Demon Tweaks have some from £70; you may be able to find something else cheaper. Don't forget, the track have 10 helmets available to hire on the day for a small fee (£15 was mentioned) if you don't have one/don't want to buy one. (FAQ updated to say the same) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 excellent news thats extra £ for petrol (every little helps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 I asked about running the track in reverse for the afternoon session but they sauid the track isn't set up to do that (despite rumours that it can be used in reverse - it can't). I can see my front right tyre being foooooooooooked at the end of the day lol so that's where my cash will be going. Should have got Ibrar to sponsor the day!
