Andrew Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Elvington used to be a cheap day, but like Croft, it's now got noise troubles, (98db) and it's not so cheap anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveH Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Get AA membership, they will recover you from a non-competitive track event if you break it (don't ask me how I know ). If you fancy something a bit different and easier on the car than a normal trackday then check out the car control and drift thread at the top of the events forum Steve H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveH Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 It's a couple of years since I last used their services but the AA did include it on their cover (RAC did not), it was listed in their terms and conditions - This is how they word what they won't cover - "assistance for vehicles broken down as a result of taking part in any “Motor Sport Event”, including, without limitation, racing, rallying, trials or time-trials or auto test. However, for the avoidance of doubt, the AA does not consider “Concours d’elegance” events, track test days for road-legal vehicles or rallies held exclusively on open public highways where participants are required to comply with the normal rules of the road, to be Motor Sports Events." I used to keep a copy in the car as even some of their patrols didn't know that they covered trackdays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
