Hi Folks At Castle Combe yesterday Franks ZT260 went fut and sadly it was going to need to be recovered back to his garage etc He had not realized the AA will collect you from the paddock on club affiliated track days. When he phoned the AA they initially said he wasn't covered but i insisted he was and they eventually capitulated and agreed. To clarify things here is the line in the AA policy terms and conditions that clearly state they do not consider trackdays as motor sport events [I]n. Participation in sporting events 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.[/I] [U]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[/U], [I]to be Motor Sports Events.[/I] If you do need recovery from the circuit by the AA, bear this in mind, YOU ARE COVERED I hope Franks issues are not too terminal Cheers all STU:D

I can second that. I have been recovered home by the AA from Cadwell Park (via 2 relays) and Brands Hatch without any queries. The only problem I have seen is when guy started stripping his engine at Mallory and when he realised he could not fix it, called the AA. In that situation they would not recover him.
