obviously not the guy in the Saxos fault.

Also saw a video from Combe 04' involving a 3 door and an escos.

I know you don't have to have trackday insurance to do a trackday and most normal policys dont cover it. So what happens??? Pay out your pocket or what???

Anyone been in the situation??

Just curious!

...and this is why I dont do track days, you can all your hard work wiped out in an instant. I know it can happen on the road as well though.

Can't imagine Braun Gp sending the likes of force India or Maclaren a bill for a few million in the event of a mishap.

Its just tough titties. This is part of the reason ive never done any track days in any of my cars.if i messed up and took someone else out, id feel so bad and have to pay for the damage purely as thats morally right in my eyes, but of course this is probably not the done thing and wouldnt expect people to pay for my car if they damaged it. I dont want mine getting trashed by some idiot who thinks its a race, whether they would pay for it or not. As said above, theres really no reason why a crash should happen on a track day. From some videos ive seen, too many people think that track days are a race.

You have no legal obligation at all to pay anyone a penny if you hit them on a trackday even if it is blatantly your fault when you do so.

So if I smash my 500 quid clio into the side of someones 20K rs500 at the combe RS day for example cause i make a mistake, they have to pay to repair their own car.

For that reason, I personally never take on track any car I would be greatly upset if someone else drove into the side of it and I lost it.

Cossie Helen came VERY close to losing her saph through not fault of her own at national day last year, a fiesta spun on some fluid someone else dropped, and came SO close to hittin her while she was doing about 60mph.
If it had, the fiesta driver wouldnt have had to give her a penny, and neither would whoever dropped the fluids, it would have just been her tough.

Yes, but trackdays arent, a lot of people seem to miss that.

On a trackday the other people out on track havent had to pass a race license to be there, so they may be total ameteurs, so I always try and give them space and assume they will get something wrong.
If its someone I know, like when I spent a lap hanging off the back of Neil from fastfords puma in my clio, its a bit different, but for people I dont know, I try and give them a little extra space just in case as Ive seen several very avoidable accidents on trackdays in the 15 years ive been on track now, 1 of which wrote off a brand new 18,000 pound car that the girl had only owned for about 3 months from new, and it was TOTALLY the fault of the person who hit her IMHO, as he gave her uttlerly no room for error so when she spun through inexperience he t boned her at about 70mph, it was pretty messy, I was tussling with the guy who hit her, but let him go just at that corner as we were coming up on a car on the wrong line who clearly didnt know what she was doing so I decided to give her space and he didnt.
