They will come chasing you for the costs.
There's a great article on this that Andrew (AGTLaw) wrote about all of this. Would you really want all of this hanging over your head?
They won't let a non road legal German car on at all. All the German cars need TUV approval on a TF day. Obviously trackdays are fine.
I've been there in the past where the TUV guys will pull you over and check the car + paperwork as well. Doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen. A...
Yeah, i'm aware of this Chip. That's why I think it was still very sensible to cover yourself in my opinion.
Phil, the comment that '99% of others aren't insured so it's fine for me' is just such a rediculous statement it's untrue. It clearly shows a lack of knowledge of the place and the...
Most of the Northloop guys don't actively do TF anymore, but lots of them were on the recent DN6 day where the insurance rules are the same as a UK day and therefore there is no need for the third party insurance.
I pity the poor sod that is unfortunate enough to get anywhere near you on the Ring.
A UK trackday is very different from a TF day on the Ring. German road laws apply for one. Last time i checked, having no insurance was illegal on a road.
The Ring will survive long after the Brits stop going.
You do realise though that even slight contact with another driver/biker and the likelyhood is the police will roll up. You do realise what will happen if you've got no insurance? Even an accident into the barrier and they'll be after your docs.
Utter madness Ben.
(Sorry Chip btw)
Sorry guy's, but you're both complete idiots.
I'm not talking about crashing and paying for barriers and car repairs, we can all manage that. I'm talking about the time a hose splits and coolant leaks out. You pull over immediately, but a car spins and maybe a biker comes down at high speed...
Well worth the £60 a day to be honest, well worth it.
Kind of glad I did all those laps when things like this weren't such an issue and UK insurance policies didn't specifically exclude it.
I'd love to go back to the Ring to do a TF day, but unless you've got specific ring insurance for a tf day you're basically risking the rest of your life if you ever have, or cause, an incident.
I have all of Russ's old kit in my garage in boxes and I've even got the mapped ECU somewhere as well. One day I'll get round to fitting it all. It made decent power an ran ok.
