Arrive and Drive racing(is it worth it)
Discussion
Hi (new to site)
Has anyone done arrive and drive racing, been looking at max5 racing ltd and have e-mailed them for costs etc which they have given me (Thanks Jon), would like to hear from someone who's done this, like me on a low budget.
Costs I was given to compete in 3 races (Brands, Mallory and lydden) inc enrty fees, insurance, and their hire costs worked out to around £3k (plus cost to get licence, race wear etc).
This is the only way I can see to fulfill my dream of circuit racing (had some expierence in karts and Oval racing).
Cheers!!!!!!!

Hi Mark, you can insure all mechanical equipment but excess is slightly dearer. Regarding dented wings etc, if it more cost effective to repair or replace and considerably cheaper than the excess then we would repair and just charge at cost price materials and labour, as the cars are new to race track they are all in pristine condition at the moment so any damage is repair immediately.
There are a couple of insurance companies around so you can get it cheaper, I have just given you worst case !
If you commit then we will endeavor to find a more cost effective solution for insurance, you can if you wish not insure the car however a £1500 bond will be required in advance of which we will hold and if any damage is done then this will pay towards it of if the vehicle is badly damaged then you will be liable for the total repair bill, inherently if any minor damage is done then it normally equates to approx £250 - £300.
Hope this has helped.
If you require any further info please contact me !
