Hi,

I've booked a IAM driver skills day at Croft.
I'm going to go in my M3 and would like to get insurance cover.

My 'specialist' insurer proudly displays track day cover but have been totally flumoxed by the idea of a driver skills day.

I've emailed a couple of other specialists but none have bothered responding. I think the issue is it's not a ATDO trackday. It's a event run by IAM.

I've not attended one before but I'm told it's 15 min sessions, much like a trackday but you have somebody in with you at all times giving tuition/advice. In my imbeciele mind it would be a far lower risk than a trackday as all are IAM drivers and all have someone in the car tutoring them. Frustatingly, I'm stuggling to find anyone that will cover.

Any reccomendations?

What the average day rate for track cover?

Hmm,

Yes watched some videos online and was a bit surprised by the seemingly sedate driving.

Prob won't need that insurance after all.

Suppose it might be faster than it looks in the vid but certainly not the mayhem i've seen at seen at a few events.

Nice one. What car is that?

Handy for doing some research before I attend.

Cheers.

Sounded good. Saw Fiesta in your profile but thought it sounded something much bigger!
