Founder Beanoir™ Posted November 17, 2015 Founder Share Posted November 17, 2015 I asked this a while back but never really got much joy. I want to do a track or 2, no more than that but i'm reluctant to do it without insuring the car for track use. I got a couple of quotes and they were c.£300 for the R for one day at Snetterton, is this about right or is there a cheaper way of doing this?

Andy Fagan Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I insure my R with Mannings and they cover me for unlimited track days organized by a recognized organizer. The only proviso's are that you can't do Nurburg on a public day and the excess is 10% of cost or value if written off. The policy was more expensive than compare sites but also has other advantages like choice of repair garage and Porsche loan car etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is that an annual track only policy or a standard road policy that covers the track stuff as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 57 and was quoted just over £200 using compare sites and the Manning insurance was £550. If you do a few track days each year it is well worth the peace of mind. http://www.manninguk.com/automotive/porsche.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got the added complication of a multi car policy with 4 cars on so might have to take the CR out of that, but i'm sure thats not the end of the world.

Andy Fagan Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Just to update this...... I just re-newed with Manning and previously I insured to do no more than 5,000 miles PA. However I only actually did about 1,000 miles last 12 months so I opted for a 3,000 mile PA limit and the premium came down from 500 to 350 still with track day cover and fully comp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Beanoir™ Posted January 28, 2016 Author Founder Share Posted January 28, 2016 Topical, I've been googling away this evening looking for options, the competition insurance website appears to be hacked, Red Square recommended trying them for one off track days. When my insurance is up for renewal i think I'll definitely look at Mannings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian964 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Also worth talking to Classicline - they have similar policies to Manning. I had my 964RS insured through Manning, but moved to Classicline as Manning were far more expensive for European trackdays for the RS (both charge extra for this, but include UK days). I've stayed with Classicline for the CR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masher964 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Mine is insured through competition car insurance which adds about £100 to the premium but covers you for 5 track days a year. The critical thing is you must tell your insurer that you are going on a track day BEFORE the event since it is only pre-named events that are covered (otherwise how would they know they were limiting their liability to only 5 events?). An additional 2 events can be purchased (making 7 per year in total) for less than £100. They'll ask for a tracker to be fitted for cars insured over £40k which is about the pivot point for CR's. Shout when you're booking a day. It's been a while since I've done one (and never in the CR) and all this talk is whetting my appetite.

Founder Beanoir™ Posted February 16, 2016 Author Founder Share Posted February 16, 2016 Just by way of an update, finally got insurance sorted for this weekend at Hethel. CIS - £321.50 Insure My Track Day - £276 Moris - £121 Same value insured and similar excess across all. Thanks for all the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
