Manning track (Europe) cover - Update?

[dhossack]

Hi,
just had the renewal documents through for one of my cars and Manning are again offering Europe track day cover; see below quote from their documentation.

'European Track Day:
Track day cover in Europe can be included as an option for individual events.
The premium per event is £250 for vehicle values up to £99,999 and £500 for vehicles values of £100,000 and above.
This is subject to the standard track day excess'.

Will make a track day expensive I know but certainly peace of mind were I to take the GT3 to Spa or the Ring.

Cheers,
Donald.

yes was told that makes Ring +Spa £2000 for 4 days !!!!!! ill stick to uk track days

 

[gordon]

Also heard that premiums were increasing even though ur not getting euro cover is urs up

 

[lauris]

I predict that availability of euro track days will drop significantly if people cant get insurance cover at a decent premium, or people will start running cheap cars, uk track days will become more popular and the prices will go up,


cheers
scott.

Hi Gordon,
my premium for the Turbo has gone up £40 this year. I think one or two European track days a year might be affordable but any more than that doubtful.

Enjoy Spa, cant wait to hear how the new suspension set up goes?
