Porsche Driving Experience: Warm Up - Insurance?

[James44]

I'm lucky enough to have one of these coming up and would like to ask for opinions on whether a day's trackday insurance would be advisable

Will be using my own car - 997T. Haven't done a trackday before, but then I assume this isn't really a track day type event.

My insurers won't cover it. Quotes form others for the day coming in at £220 plus £3,800 excess!

Has anyone been on this? If there aren't many other cars on the track at the same time and its more about learning than speed then I'm thinking of 'self-insuring'.

Any opinions greatly received ...

Many thanks, think I'll self insure and save the money (or spend it on a pot of tea at the restaurant)

Windy, not then I'm afraid, I'm on April 10th. Hope you have fun.

Thanks

Had a great day there today and learned a great deal ... I didn't know the car could go through bends so quick!

Instructor was great, taught me a great deal and inspired confidence to get the best out of the car. Exactly what I was looking for.

Didn't insure beforehand and wise move as never really came close to loosing it or hitting anyone else. Very well run event and would recommend.
