i didnt get the whole insurance thing on the ring etc etc but as ive not been there im guessing i didnt have the minerals to even make comment !!!
Don`t worry about it. Far too many people don`t understand the implications of an accident on the ring.
There are still a few idiots around understand the situation but try and tell everyone its nothing to worry about
. I think you`d be absolutely bonkers to drive on TF without 3rd party cover. There is a thread on Pistonheads (sticky in Trackdays section) where I`ve posted the same, but some supposedly intelligent people say it`ll be fine if you `take it easy` and don`t chase times...
Its a crying shame, when I started going to the ring in 2005 there was no insurance issue, those who`ve been going for much longer than me remember how quiet the ring used to be. Top gear & the magazines stopped all that, the resultant insurance claims led to all the exclusions and the situation we are in now where almost nobody will cover you on TF.
I`d hate to think I`d never drive the ring again, the trackdays aren`t exactly cheap, and to me, the mid week, evening trackdays were simply fantastic. Middle of August, Wednesday evening, windows open and about half a dozen other cars seen on a lap. Ahhh, those were the laps
Oh, and incase you think I`m coming across as negative and trying to talk you out of going, take a look at the guide in this thread
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=186755.0. That took me hours, but the reason was to try and help novices get round without incident, not to talk you out of going.
