Rentals usually are - never seen a full-face rental lid.

Might be worth investing in a racing balaclava from Demon Tweeks. Keep some of the previous wearers DNA away from your head >shudder<
Good idea biggrin
not sure about Rockingham but the AM On Track events always provide a disposible thingy thats vaguely looks like a balaclava

I shall be wearing one supplied at the circuit, although any helmet will undoubtedly mess my hair up biggrin

Note to Bob, are the ones at the circuit open faced as that would be preferable for a coupe?
Lewis is right, they are open face helmets at Rockingham. Not wishing to tempt fate but the long range weather (my lingering concern) is looking favourable.

Cool. No, haven't been to a track day before, but I've heard Cockers talk about driving home on destroyed tyres, and I'm off to the Frozen North (well Oxfordshire) for the weekend on the Saturday, so I was worried about it smile Cheers!
North ?
Oxfordshire ?
hehe
I take it back, it's actually south of the Watford Gap smile

Did anyone find an insurance company willing to offer track day insurance?

My Aston is insured by Firstpoint and they won't cover track days - I called CCI who cover my Westfield on a track day policy and they will offer a day rate insurance but its £635 for the day with an £8,000 excess.

I've also got the AM Spa trip in September coming up so if anyone has found a reasonable day insurance cover for track days please let me know.
thanks

I just swapped insurance over to Locktons.... They were not only cheaper by £700-00 they also include track day cover including this one as an AM only event... biggrin

Give them a call......

The two companies I asked gave me similar quotes to that you have been given. I moved to Locktons, not only was that the cheaper option, I'm covered for all Track days.
