If he's insured on it, and you have 'Drive other' could you use that?

Don't stuff it though.

And a lot of insurance companies by the looks of it.

Ive seen trackday cover cost around 10% of car value per day.
Would that figure per day be excessive for your plans?

Its about £130k car, so yes, wouldn't be worth it for that.

Had no idea track day was so expensive either!

Cuvva is who I use, but I've not tried for that value

I couldn’t even find anyone to do short term cover for a mate to borrow my Ghibli, some brands are just a non starter

Easiest way is for your mate to add you as a named driver on his policy. Alternatively he could cancel his policy and you take a new one out, then cancel it within the 14 day cooling off period.

I used Aviva last year to insure the FiL's car for a day to take it to the BiL's 300 mile away. We were swopping cars (long story). Think it cost about £24.
