I'd be thinking you might be better off doing a trackdays.ie day too as you'll get lads to show you the way round.
The price isn't tad however if you hey good tuition of course and track is fairly empty if sharing with others at a normal trackday is a little imtidating.
March is ages away though and missing out on the opportunity this summer and autumn to get out :)
Trackday insurance often has a limit for claims for example 20k or so.
If you crash at the Ring, you could be over that on barriers, recovery and track closure costs aline.
Then have the cost of any other cars involved or crashed due to you causing obstruction or an oil spill etc.
Kinda think your almost better off saving the money and spending it on more slow laps to learn the track or even just decide to sit the day out if it's very busy.
If you've paid for insurance, you might eel a little more confident in pushing harder as well wanting to get more value for money of your day as you've paid for a day's insurance.
I'm just thinking if I bin my own car, thats my main concern at the moment, insurance will cover 90% (or actually more) so takes the worry out of wipe out.
I'm looking into this solely for training and expertise before I do an open day, just coped a hitch though, I might mess up my warrenty!! :mad:
Just cover up or remove your reg plates if on track. Can't do it at the 'Ring of course but least for days out on Mondello etc,
it'll work perfectly. If something does go wrong, make sure you have somebody that can trialer the car home for you to say it broke down on the way back from the shops :D
Yep, the current figure of the case going on over the Mclaren MP4 causing the crash around this time last year is at 1.5 million I think.
But that's insignificant if you caused a biker to come off of course :(
If you worry about the 'what ifs' in life, things will be very boring though by not trying anything. Just be as prepared as you can and safe as possible. Most of the big crashes involving other cars are because of fluid leaks of people that don't crash at all themselves anyway.
Lot to be said for a nice little (lightened but road legal) track car for less than €2k such as:
306 GTI
Puma 1.7 (wife had one for a number of years - a hoot to drive - handles like a go-cart - rusts badly though)
Mazda MX5
E46 328i/330i
Leon Cupra
Clio 172
Going to the ring next week. Reading all these comments make me paro..
Yep, a 172 is a brilliant little track weapon that's very capable for the price they can be picked up for now and running running costs too :) I'd love one myself actually lol
Have. 1.25 zetec fiesta for racing too and even though is only 70bhp, its brilliant fun on track.
It actually seems to be the high end cars alot. Major recent smashes were coolant leaks from a Mclaren MP4 12 and a GT3rs.
I think it could be due to lots of these kinda owners that can afford cars a couple hundred grand and read to go out od the box can afford to do multiple lap stints or or have 'Ring cards and think nothing of spending 4 or 500 quid on laps and fuel in a few hours.
.
The guys with an M3 or something cheaper then might do a lap or two and then come in to savour the time there abit and also probably know they're car alot better as they more than likely put it together themselves in alot of cases.
Ah, you'll be grand. It's alittle daunting at first and when thinking about it but it's grand once you get into it and first lap done. It's just like a really nice backroad at home with just needing to keep an eye in your mirror for traffic rather than oncoming cars :)
