There was this thing at Donnington last friday that looked like a formula Renault or something (it had wings) but had little cycle guard covers over the wheels. Don't know what it was but it definitely had a Yamaha engine and was yellow. I'll see if I've got any pics of it, but it was allowed to run in the open pit lane session with all the tin-tops.

Kubica, that's an MK Sprint R which is a road legal BEC and therefore is allowed on trackdays regardless, even though its a single seater. The same wouldnt apply to a converted FFord etc even if it had the same cycle wings unless you could make it road legal
I am not sure that is the case. Non-road legal cars are allowed at most regular track days (strangely not airfields in the main though). So I think that a suitably be-mudguarded FF would be allowed. I have seen exactly that at Donington (either BaT or the other lot IIRC).Bert

I guess you could turn up with a FFord with cycle wings on and I agree in essense it wouldn't be a lot different to the above MK or even a Caterfield in that the wheels are fairly exposed and only covered with weak GRP guards, but I have a feeling that the TDO could be sailing into uncharted waters if there was an insurance claim involving such a car if the cover does indeed stipulate about open wheelers / single seaters.
