£500 fully Comp, protected NCD, excess of £250. I’m 45, no points, 1 minor car park scrape 2 years ago. Car parked on drive, no commuting.
NB - your excess goes up to 10% of vehicle value in the event of a trackday accident.
I called a number of trackday only insurers and they were coming in at £250-350 per track day!
if you’re still in your ‘cooling off period’ you could cancel your new policy and give manning a call.
The PCGB Lockton policy only covers PCGB trackdays.

Can I ask what the car is and annual mileage?

Like i said, only social, domestic & pleasure (SDP) driving, no commuting.
Ive recently done the PCGB valuation of the car at £30k, which is what I’ve insured it for with Manning.
I'm at £663 for 10k miles but higher insured value and car is on the 991 3.8 tariff because of the engine swap so I guess a comparable rate given the differences.

Ian, I think you will struggle to get cover because it's not a UK track day company that we're going with.ian harvey said:If you do find anyone reasonable , Craig, please post as I need someone to cover me in June. Thanks, Ian.
Overall my cover with Classic Line is good with adequate UK cover but not Europe (Spa in this case).

I used REIS once... I was in Milan Airport at about 4pm returning to the UK the day before a track day when they called me to say the underwriter had exceeded his policy limit and my policy (which was for two events) had been cancelled. Needless to say I was not a happy bunny but I managed just before going on track to arrange single event cover at the same cost as the two day cancelled policy. They did give me a discount on a rearranged second policy but I decided that a road and track policy would be far more cost effective and reliable.

And re track day only coverage, Adrian Flux actually turned out to have a competitively priced product, well worth having a chat with them
Craiglm68 said:Just had a positive experience with REIS re fully comp insurance plus up to 6 track days (which ends up covering nicely the 2 I've got booked, which prompted the original post).

Good to hear you've got it sorted
is the lack of cover with Classicline specific to your polices or will classicline not cover pistonclub at all? I can't remember what Classicline's rules were regarding this now? I haven't booked yet and this might make life tricky.

Not being a trackday participant I've always assumed that trackday insurance was compulsory. I'm curious to know, when you choose to 'self insure', what would be the position if someone else damaged your car, you damaged someone elses car, or you damaged some armco or something (let's say just on the UK tracks)?

Hi Andrew, track day insurance is not compulsory. If you have it, it only covers damage to your own car. If you damage someone else's it won't pay for that. Nor is there any third party cover. Nor will it pay for damage to the track. In the latter case there is usually a clause in the contract that you sign to drive the circuit for them to have the right charge you for repairs. However, it's rare for them to enforce that (except for the Nurburgring where they charge for armco damage and track closure costs which is why it's very difficult to get insurance for it). You'll find that on many general track days most cars are not insured because they're not worth very much.
