These cars are great. Rented one at brands a couple of months ago. What a machine!

It's a pity that this competition doesn't cater for PH'ers with physical disabilities, I'd love a day of track tuition but can't physical get into a Caterham.



It's not much of a competition if you have to fork out £2.5k!!

The winner will be required to provide a debit or credit card with a minimum of £2,500.00 of credit available at the start of the event to be authorised in the event of an accident.

"There is an insurance excess of £2,500.00 (inc.VAT) in the case of an accident. This amount shall be due irrelevantirrespective of responsibility or fault."

Frankly if they can't write in English I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

[blearyeyedboy]

Is there an opportunity to pay a bit more to reduce that excess? That would appear to be possible with other trackday organisers.

[Smitters]

Sounds like a similar set-up to standard trackday insurance - 10% of the car's value as excess. Yes it's steep, and puts me off, but if it's a really big deal, then a Caterham run experience day is probably a better bet than driving a hire car at an open event.

[RacerMike]

For anyone worrying about the excess, you'd be incredibly unlucky to do that kind of damage with BaT in a Caterham. The instructors Jonny uses are all very familiar with the cars, and are all very experienced, so providing you listen to what they say, there's no reason to have an kind of accident.

If the worst did happen, you'd also need to be doing some to require a claim in the insurance. I did 5 years of Caterham racing, and never did more than a couple of hundred quids worth of damage going wheel to wheel with others. There was maybe 1 or 2 people a year out of 35 cars who needed to claim on their insurance....

Whoever wins this will have an awesome time. R300s are a great car on track

Have you tried an SV chassis out of interest? Significantly more spacious and a lot easier to get in and out of as the cage openings are much larger...

I have some disability problems - hence the Bentley Turbo R track car. Watch out next year for it and come and find me!

BaT are a brilliant setup, people looking to pick holes should go and try one of their days then readjust their criticisms.

Never driven one of their hire cars, but they always look to be well prepped - never seen them with naff tyres and all sorts of handling issues a la karting places, and never seen a breakdown.

If we were still doing trackdays, BaT would be top of the list of promoters I'd look at.
