Hi Matthew, Here's what we have in our FAQ pages - it's a bit old now, as we wrote it some years ago, but the gist is still correct: "[I]There are a number of specialist companies who offer insurance cover for one-off track days and you can buy as much cover as you feel sensible just for day. If you are not insured, then clearly you take the risk that you will have to pay for anything that happens to your car. This is true even if the damage is caused by someone else as insurance policies typically don't cover damage to third parties. [/I] [I]Some people do take this risk. This isn't quite as bad as it sounds as driving around a track is actually much safer than driving on the road. There is no oncoming traffic, no junctions or distractions etc. The rules of track days are well laid out and policed by marshals. Anyone who drives discourteously or dangerously is black flagged and taken off the track. [/I] [I]If you wish to arrange insurance cover, the following contacts may be helpful: [/I] [I]Competition Car Insurance [/I] [URL="http://www.competition-car-insurance.co.uk/"][COLOR=#0000ff][I]http://www.competition-car-insurance.co.uk [/I][/COLOR][/URL] [I]Tel: 0115 941 5255 [/I] [I]MOtorSport Race&Rally Insurance Services [/I] [URL="http://www.moris.co.uk/"][COLOR=#0000ff][I]http://www.moris.co.uk[/I][/COLOR][/URL] [I]Tel: 020 7709 9559 "[/I] Hope this helps, Dave

These companies and provide either annual road/track over or/and one-off track day cover when needed.
