[I was scared but I can't really see how you could do anything to your car. There was just 1 yellow flag when someone's car broke down (sorted in 2 minutes). Otherwise no incidents.
And I didnt even have the insurance! As it turned out it was a good decision.

I did a track day at the autodrome, was last in a line of four cars hammering down the straight into the chicane (fastest part of the circuit) suddenly the GT3 two in front of me peeled off to the left and then the GT3 directly in front of me peeled off to the right and I was faced with a 993 turbo (lead car) which had span as it exited the chicane and was now stationary in front of me broadside on. I had a car to the left of me and right of me blocking me from any avoiding action, and I was doing well north of 100mph just hit the brakes HARD, big wide wheels, trackday rubber and good abs stopped me dead about 12 inches from the drivers door, I have never needed a new pair of underpants so badly but that was nothing compared to how scared the driver looked as I bore down on him!!!
Thank god I stopped, but I can see how you can do something to your car, or at least someone else can when they hit you, and they don't have to pay you as they don't have to be insured, there was a guy a few years back also in a GT3 at Brands who was hit by an ariel atom (or similar) and the guy that hit him just dissapeared off at lunch time! It is always well worth insurance especially with a car as valuable as an R, even though the excesses seem to have rocketed to about 25% value of car!
I would be up for a forum track day, and promise not to hit anyone!
