That morris discount is rubbish. I checked last year and didn't make a difference. I've always used insuremytrackday and will stick to using it. Straight forward website and can't complain too much at pricing.

been doing a bit of quote checking today & they're currently best; plus, like you say, nice easy to use online quote system.

[rob_benton]

Just had a quote from insure my track day for £85 on a £5,500 car.

Anyone know how that compares to Moris previously?

Insuremytrackday want £120 to cover me for "morning only" on a £20k car. I have v little experience of all this but that doesn't feel great value.

It will if you crash it !

[Jacko22]

I usually pay £225ish for a day at Nurburgring - mad yes BUT thousands cheaper than repairing the barriers and track closure.

As for uk days it's usually around £85ish per day, valued the car at 10k. Maybe it's more as you've gone into a different price bracket at 20k

[JonChalk]

£190ish for £30k.

Will be sorting early next week - it's just not worth the risk for me, especially as it's first time & weather forecast says may be damp.

[GrahamC230K]

Other than voice on the forums that it is not condoned behaviour, is anything being done differently at the Silverstone Sunday Service to try and avoid the mindlessness displayed at the exit of the Prodrive event?

I've no want to have association with anything of the sort, to the extent I am rethinking attending, hence the question. I see the event is still being publicised on Facebook.

But what does that cover and what's the excess?

Moris Last year for the limited Sunday Service track time for me was £75 on a £20k car with rescue cover if I needed to trailer it home.

Most track day insurance seem to charge the same for an all day open garage as a 1/2 hour session. I'm not saying 1/8th the track time should be 1/8th the premium, but there should be a reduced risk from reduced laps shouldn't there?

Well, unless they sort themselves out soon or PH rescue it early next week, insuremytrackdays will get my business.

Exactly.

[mikey P 500]

Hope Moris can sort them selves out last year they were always cheapest for me at £60 for Sunday services and about £85 for regular day. Already had to use sky at £95 for a track day earlier this year as Morris hadn't sorted a deal for 2017.

At Silverstone there is a much greater distance between the Sunday Service location and the public road, so less of an issue.

Whilst I agree it doesn't help PH with their hosts and I left quietly, it was hardly rape and pillage...

perhaps it's best you don't come, delete PH and transfer to Mumsnet.

[jonesey]

This would be my first Sunday service, does anybody have an idea how far down the reserve list they usually get? I assume at 700+ I have two hopes...little and none?

[JohnnyFive]

Really hoping Moris can sort something out because they were always much cheaper than the competition - plus I have been unfortunate enough to have to claim through them and they were excellent.

£87 for the SS last year, or £130 for a full day vs £270 for the next cheapest quote.

[CaptainRAVE]

That must be one of the fullest sign up lists I have seen for a while. I wonder how many hundreds will drop out in the final days.

Agreed, it is pretty much a non-issue with Silverstone. Although I am sure there will be some interesting driving on the approach roads.

You always get a little bit of 'loudness' as people drive in at the back of the car park. Never seems to be an issue though. Having people on track helps reduce this a little too. Hopefully no accidents this year!

You can't beat the smell of this SS

The last Silverstone Sunday Service they were able to extend the list so stay hopeful. if not 200 drop outs is a big ask, although the weather isn't looking great and you'd be surprised how many people have family engagements they had completely forgotten and can't get out of that they suddenly remember Friday or Saturday night when the weather forecast is confirmed as poor!

Just FYI the reason that we were able to extend the attendance list last time out was because the over flow paddock was (mostly) not in use. We've asked if we can use this area again (after all, why wouldn't we want as many people there as possible!)... but we're waiting to find out from Silverstone if it is free or not.

Thanks James: And the Moris question? Any gossip/news on that?
