Your car and track day survival

[obi_waynne]

Do you think your car would survive a track day?

Do you keep it in pristine condition with lots of tyre tread, brake pad life and high performance parts suitable for heavy track day use?

I'd like to think mine would cope admirably, but I know the pads on the rear are getting low, and not sure I'd risk our main car on a track, it only takes a small slip of concentration and you have a seriously damaged car to deal with.

Been on the track several times with the Beast and enjoy it immensely. You don't have to have a fast car Obi just drive fast and enjoy. Seen a couple of ladies on the track in basic family saloons having a whale of a time. You can get track day insurance which will cover you if there is a little mishap, I always take it out as there is a considerable investment made in my car over the years.

I'm not bothered about taking to the track in a car that isn't track optimized.

Insurance is a good tip T9! Does it cost much?

 

[T9 man]

I last paid £71 for a full day of track cover which included personal injury and "Get you Home" UK Recovery and insurance of my policy excess.

Good reasonably priced cover .

I think so Rad, after all £71 is absolutely nothing compared to any possible damage on that car considering how much CF there is on it.

There is no price on peace of mind!
