I've used them for the last 2 years, it's a basic cover, there are add-ons etc.
Track day insurance is a very dark area for most insurance company's.

Yes I've got some cover with them .

It looks as if the ring is no longer open on Friday evening, but that can change it has in the past..

This is what I've been debating.. Tried getting a quote over the phone from them so I can make sure everything is covered but apparently they only do online quotes.

It's a bit unclear as to whether the policy covers things like the notorious barrier charges and recovery etc..

Think I'll just end up choosing one day out of the weekend for track time and cover one day.

Thanks all!

Its the 3rd party liability I'd be more worried about should the worst happen. If you can get a policy from Moris that covers 3rd party then jump at it. The costs from barrier damage and closure aren't as bad as a lot makes out - a few thousand euros at most (and that's if you shut the ring for repairs).

The worst case scenario is you dropping fluids or causing an accident that leaves someone else injured... that's where the 3rd party liability comes into its own. :ok:

Hopefully none of the above will happen and it wont if you are sensible.

I think its better to have some cover than none at all, personally I can't afford to have a total loss should something unfortunate happen.

Breakdown sorted (RAC) and waiting on Quote from Moris - just need a bulb kit and breathalyzers now! See you Saturday!

FYI - you don't need a breathalyser, yes the stupid law still exists, but until that's done away with (as the rest of the EU don't want it) the French simply decided to impose no fine or penalty for not carrying one. They used to sell them here in all the petrol stations and supermarkets, until everyone stopped buying them.

Sunday is looking like the best day for track action!

We was just looking at the same thing. Hopefully the journey to Germany isn't like last year, heavy rain from Belgium to the hotel.....

I’ve only got cover for the Sunday so the forecast better be right! We’re thinking of a road trip on the Monday possibly down the Mosel from Cochem to Koblenz.

Myself and the Ol' Man were only talking the other day about a day out driving with a nice bite to eat for lunch. Sounds good.

We went to a stunning location for lunch last year, Steve PPP led us there.

I'm quite happy left sat down at Pitstop supping beer all day watching the world and the cars go by! :tequila::tequila:

We did that trip in 2016 (I think ) Ive never seen Granby move so fast.

He was running yes running from a horrendous hail storm.

We went on a cable car over the river,up to a fort/castle..

GedeonsEck, up above Boppard - its here:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/...56!4d7.5723079

The entrance to the road that heads up there is here - you probably remember it looks as if you are driving up someones private driveway!
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/...1996!4d7.58853

If you decide to head over there, last year I took us the wrong way over to Boppard, hence the getting lost in the town first. If you head up river from Cochem then take the L207 from Alken, that drops you right past the lane to the restaurant. Much easier and if you get to the town at the bottom you know you've gone too far. :ok:

Bit unfair to leave Ian behind - I mean after all he did arrange it!

SpecB 24-05-2018 07:04 PM

Quick question - are you thinking of stopping in Brugge on the trip back? If not we'll pick up some Zot on the way there!

Hope you all have an awesome trip and a safe and relaxed journey tomorrow. Keep those of us at home and work updated with how the weekend is going, however much of a struggle it might be for us to look!

Fingers crossed the weather is good over the next 5 days and you get plenty of opportunity for some track time.

Do you normally end up using it on this trip? Never had a problem finding Shell V on the continent before but only ever done Germany once so will take your advice! :-D

Mike j 24-05-2018 09:10 PM

I’ll take your advice, if you think we’ll need it.
