Crumpynut Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Have to agree with Aeroscreens. Best thing I ever did on 1st track day was get some tuition. Make sure you get an early slot so you get the best from the rest of the session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy77 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Sorry for the noob question, but as I understand car insurance is not compulsory for trackdays, presumably meaning that there will be a mix of insured and uninsured cars driving round. If I chose to insure mine and I get hit by someone who is not insured, what happens then? Would it just be a case of hard luck and face the consequences of having to make a claim without actually being at fault...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Wendler Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hi My understanding is that track day insurance is to cover you if you crash it yourself or if somebody crashes into you. So yes, doesn't matter if the person who crashes into you has or hasn't got insurance, you claim off your own.No doubt somebody will tell me if I'm talking out of my exhaust pipe!Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ford Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yes, track day insurance normally covers your own car regardless of "fault". The insurance company could potentially claim back their losses from the other driver if they had clearly been driving negligently, but this is rare (I think the last time was when someone crashed into a stopped car after red flags had been displayed).Track day insurance never covers third parties. If you crash into someone due to negligence, you could potentially have to pay their bills. But to be found negligent, you'd need (in my understanding) to be driving well below the standard expected. If you are driving according to the rules, but something unexpected happens and you slide into someone, that wouldn't be considered negligent. But if you ignore the rules, stuff someone up the inside into a corner, lock it up and hit them - that could be considered negligent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assadahmed Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 How do you folks get on with the drive by noise limit. I have recently bought my second 7, an R300 with a decat and SLR exhaust. My static test was only 95.5 but a bit concerned about the drive by as it pops and bangs a bit. Any thoughts from others with similar cars?

Juju Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Is this still on and are there still places available?RgdsJulian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwood Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Julian,click on the link that was posted in one of the above posts. It will take you to the MSV booking page. I haven't been to look at whether there are still places but I imagine it will tell you if there's space.The more 7's the merrier as last count there werent enough booked by the cut-off date to guarantee an all 7 event.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Wendler Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Guys I will make enquiries of MSV but I think you will find it will be an open event now, as the last time I asked they were only up to twelve 7's Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Wendler Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yes, now open to the public, twelve 7's in total signed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 One question for the 18th. Do we have some garrages allocated for the club or should we book them while making the booking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Wendler Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Its an MSV event, not a club one, I just set it up, so you will need to book in accordance with what ever is shown on the MSV booking form.Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ford Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 There is no option to book garages on the MSV booking page. Which means either: Garages are free to use, and they don't expect so many people that they can't fit them all, or They expect the garages to be in use after the day's main event, and we have to use the outer paddock.Would be useful to know - anyone fancy calling them?

Roger Ford Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Sign on at 3:30 pm. No chance I'll make it by then - can't leave before 3:15 so it's going to a push to make it for the briefing at 4:30. Hope they're reasonably flexible.It says: "Due to day time activity there will be no access to the pits/centre paddock until 17.00pm" - which rather implies we might be able to use the garages, but only after 5pm (and presumably only once they've been cleared out by the daytime occupiers).

Clumsen Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 If any one has to cancell please let me know I will happly take your place as I had totallly forgot to book and just tried but I'm 3rd on the reserve list.CheersMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makingff Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi RogerRe the garages, it was like that last year. It all sorts itself out eventually... Re signing on, they're pretty flexible and you can do the briefing 1:1 if necessary I think (they're have always been people turning up late on each trackday I've been on and there's never been a problem).SimonP.S. I'd be interested to follow you for a couple of laps given you've probably raced there loads of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makingff Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Clumsen, there is a guy on Piston Heads Caterham forum trying to sell his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
