One off cover for rockingham
Discussion
Hit the insurance link from www.trackdays.co.uk .
If you book 2 days at once, it drops to 270 per day. Also they will discount 5% per day as a no claims bonus for upto 5 days. (Lowest premium = 232 GBP).
Need to compare this with CCI as well, but I suspect this is a better rate than they can offer.
DanH I previously posted this on the Owners Day Booking Info post By micknall:
ok, Competition Car Insurance have come back to me :-)
Below are the details:
I estimated my car is worth £45000 (6 month old 3R)
Minimum cover:
Sum insured (half the value) - £22,500
excess - £4500 (10% of full value)
cost £208 (one track day)
Maximum cover:
Sum insured (full value) - £45,000
excess - £4500 (10% of full value)
cost - £323 (one track day)
They also advised that they do standard road policies which include 4 track days. The track days must be at UK venues and from their approved list, factory run Noble Owners days would be ok.
My current cover with Tesco is approx £1100.
I got a quote of £1444.22.
I guess when you consider the cost of one track day it starts to look good value.

Thats why i have taken out insurance with no track day cover.No insurance, no track days, no wear and tear,nice clean car no agg.For raccing buy a piece of equipment that you can race and race it,dont see the point in hooning about wearing out tyres and brakes when you are not even overtaking or racing.The place to overtake is going into a bend or exiting a bend and thats the one thing you cant do on a track day for sure,so why bother.For the money yoy guys spend you could be racing in a 17 rounds championship formula one style wheel to wheel and having 6hours seat time for a team of two,with a result at the end to show how good you might or might not be.Horses for courses i guess!!!
Not everyone has the desire to race.
Me, I personally like the social aspect of track days, and the fact that I can safely learn the limits of the car in my time without anyone else interfering.
Plus, the 7+ track days that I attended last year cost just shy of £3200 all in, including tyres, servicing, track day costs etc. Exactly what "race series" could I do for <£3500 - if you find one you should tell Circuit Driver magazine, because there is obviously something that you know that they don't...
If you want a car just to drive around the roads on, why don't you buy a "proper" road car, like a Focus C-Max. Horses for courses I suppose.

joust said:Oh well you asked for it.2 drivers 10 3hour races,7 1-1/2 hour races,2xqualifying sessions and practice set up time.24/26 on a grid and bumper to bumper action all day.Yep lots off banter and socialising and all for about £3500 per driver per anum.Quicker than a formula ford around silverstone stowe circuit even with two chicanes to slow us down.Dont see how track days can be safe when some T_ _ T that hasnt a clue spins straight in front of you.So ill leave it to you to tell circuit driver then.Oh and pit stops,tyre changes and even a 24 hour at le mans and spa,but that will be extra!!!.Ps you could even drive the Noble to the circuit as its not a bad road car.Whats a c-max?

m12_nathan said:Is that its a great road car,if you think a Noble is not designed for road use then im surprised that you did not buy a Radical as it would have been cheaper and quicker than the M12 on track,Who says that just because you have a Noble you obviously look to find its limits on the road.Thats obviuosly your mentality and not mine.I very seldom exceed a certain speed On the road,000MPH, unlike the comments of someone who had his first dry day just recently and described himself as a blue blur tearing accross the kent/surrey countryside.However still enjoy the car all the time without acting like a !"^*.Ps looked up c-max,best get one for your wife as mine dont drive!
And the point of having such a capable car for road only use is? Racing is much more expensive than you make out and trackdays are the only place you can find the limit of a car as capable as the Noble, if you are driving at the limits of your Noble on the road you are a danger IMO.

I want to race, but I don't have space for a tow car and a race car. I think it will cost more than 3.5k too.
Be great to do it arrive and drive, but thats really going to push up prices. I think there was a letter about cmax in circuit driver this week actually.
Even if I raced, I'd want to take the noble on track to explore its limits. I might get bored of it though, which would probably end up with me doing the thing so many people who race do, having a slow and crap road car because it all seems so pointless having something quick.

DanH said:That can be arranged as well,if you want to attend our next test day mail me off line.Arrive and drive eg 3x drivers,approx 2hrs seat time day, £300 per day each,10days =17 rounds championship.total £3000 for the season each,not bad and very competative.
