Walshy day tomorrow - Any insurance recommendations??

[mx5Rob]

Tomorrow I get to really find out what my 111S can really do! I'm out at North Weald with Andrew Walsh for the day!!!


Anyway just checked my insurance and it doesn't cover track days etc so does anyone have any recommendations for insurance to cover the day???

You don't need insurance. It's not a track day. Check his website for details. Normal insurance covers instructional days.

Plus there's nothing to hit except soft cones. You'd have to be trying especially hard to damage a car on a Walshy day.

Only I could find something to hit at North Weald. I think the worst I have heard of is a good "scuffing" from the slalom course.

Thanks Guys.

Thats cool and saves me a few pennies.

I'll try!!

Gooby - good point. I'll check them out at the end of the day and if necessary use the saved cash for some more rubber (after I've searched here for the tyre recommendations....)

Amount of tyre wear depends on how good you are to an extent - I spun it loads of times on the high speed corner and so took a fair bit off my Bridgestones, but they were virtually dead already. I'm having a new set of AD07s fitted tomorrow - looking forward to getting my grip back

[mx5Rob]

Well what amazing hoot that was!!! Managed not to crash into the grass.. or any cones.... Did quite a few not so gracefull spins on the high speed corner and had huge adrenelin rushes on the circuit.

Big thanks to Andy for teaching me loads. Will need new rear tyres but the fronts are OK!!

Well done to Andrew for breaking the minute on the circuit.



Only one smiley sums it up:

We went up with Lotusbaroclugh who executed a set of new tyres in one day!

I went up on barely legal and came home on slicks - flippin good fun!

I did a Walshy day in June through Club Lotus and a bloke there wrote off his S160 Elise. Of course he wasn't actually on the track, he managed to scale the roundabout just past the entrance where you do the U-turn on his way back from lunch.

lol that's what I thought, right up until I managed to pretty much write off a front clam on a Walshy day
Went off across the grass and hit the only metal post for miles
Not Andy's fault at all btw, I was arsing about at the time...

Yes, but you do kill cars though, don't you

Well one tries...
