see how your post have gone from short answers where you came a cross wrong and now your posting very good and informative helpful post well done and thanks

people forget that it is a public road and not a track as such and you are right alot of people are mis informed about most aspects of track driving!!!

p.s with regards to the,  it my own issue the point i was making is if you was driving like a complete tit and caused a crash then i would make you pay one way or another !!! ( police who are they !!!) if it was just an accident then i would agree take it on the chin etc etc but no way would i let it slip if it was 100% you being a tit !! wether or not that is how i would roll simples!

See how as you've asked less stupid questions, you've got better answers?

Oh and you'd be the right person to judge if it was an accident, or if you'd been hit by someone doing something stupid?

No and if you made that sort of judgement you'd be a class A w*nker.

That's why you're speaking utter rubbish and possibly trying to make yourself out to be a big man which you're probably not.

I recommend you don't do any track days.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

The point DH has made, is that you have no legal come back if you've accepted the T&C's and driven on the track, whether or not the other person was driving like a wally, what would you do if someone crashed into you? being furious thinking they're a complete wally because they've just crashed into your car, but not having witnessed all the events from an external point of view and the marshals declare you're in the wrong ? and that person then wants compensation ?

You've accepted the T&C's, you know the risks, tough sh!t  :smiley:

I was keeping it to the level of the OP.

and as for trying to be a big man i never try to be anyone apart from myself !!! keyboard warrior im not i was simple saying what would happen on a track day if someone crashed into me when being a dick

You'd behave like a thug.  Nice.  I hope you're never on track at the same time as me.

anyways i dont care its all for fun with or without insurance !!!

No, from your previous comments it isn't ALL for fun.  For you it seems to be all fun until something goes wrong.

Thanks for the hard of thinking translation, Jay.  I struggle to express myself in moron at times.

so if you crash into another car on a track day ( your fault ) then its tough??? as that how i read it !!! ( p.s if you is on a uk trackday and drove into my car because you was driving like a tool you would be paying for the damage )

Thats exactly what he is saying ! . You either get your OWN insurance for UK trackdays or its live with the risk if you have an accident, be it your fault or anyone elses. The disclaimer you sign before ANY UK Trackday waives and 3rd party liability. You can shout and get as upset as you want, but unfortunately, thats just the way it is.


Regarding the Ring, I post on Northloop a lot (DH linked to the forum in this thread) and the insurance issue keeps coming up. Quite simply, If your UK insurance excludes the ring, I would advise NOT driving your own car on the ring. Either do a trackday or rent a car from the local ring rental companies.

Scaremongering ? some, who choose to pretend it would `never happen to them` say it is, the ones who actually THINK about the consequences say its common sense.....

Last year, I came across an accident coming towards Lauda Links to see frantically waving people at the side of the track, we slowed immediately and still almost had an off on the oil on the track. Just around the corner we found a minimum of 4 cars and 4 bikes involved in a huge accident (I couldn`t count exactly as we were trying not to hit anything). There was significant car to car and car to bike contact. This was at 17:20. The track never re-opened that evening.

Just round the corner, parked up on the exit of Bergwerk was a Blue M3. The trail of oil that started just after ex-muhle and caused the huge pile-up and track closure ended under this car...

He could have been the safest driver you`d ever see, but that simple oil leak caused a lot of damage. I don`t know what level of injuries were sustained.

It was the worst accident I`ve come across in TF and a very sobering example to me of what could very easily happen.

Another at Brunchen a few days later. Loads of bikes down, oil started between Brunchen I and II, ended after Eis Kurve where the Porsche that dropped the fluid had parked up when the engine stopped due to no oil....

In both those examples, the driver taking it `steady` made absolutely NO difference. We had a member who had a well prepped car, not an old shed and he had an accident that cost him well into 4 figures, that was just for the one car that he caused to have an accident...
