Default A MASSIVE thankyou to the RSOC and an update to the National day crash situation...

Ok, as a lot of you know, my car was written off at National day at Donnington on the parade lap in july, due to it being on track the insurance weren't going to pay out, leaving me in a very difficult situation.

Well, the RSOC and Boncaster have worked together to resolve the situation and we have arrived at a positive end for both parties so I wanted to say a huge thankyou to the RSOC, Boncaster and also to everyone who commented on the threads on here about it and offered help, parts etc, it really does mean a lot!

Hopefully people have learnt a few things about the ins and outs of track insurance etc lol, I know I have, and hopefully something like this will never happen again

It's a huge relief knowing that I can now move on and think about what to do next.

My car will be stripped very soon and the shell scrapped I have got a plan on what I want next but need a break from the Cossie limbo for the moment lol.

Again, thankyou to the RSOC, Boncaster and all you good people on here!!

Karl

I would use them if they could offer me a decent price, They were Ł700 more than flux for some strange reason,




Anyhow glad things have a happy-ish ending.

Great news, for you, Steph and also for the whole scene. The ramifications of this going tits up as first feared really may of put an end to shows as we are used to them being.
I notice you have thanked certain involved parties, but left out the details. I am not asking for the other guys name etc, but more on what the agreed resolution was? ie Who is paying you out and did you get the full value for your stunning, and frankly perfect car?
To add, I am not on a witch hunt, just purely interested in the outcome for the sake of us fellow marque owners. Once again, I am glad you have a happy result (as much as it can be happy anyway).

Thanks for the comments everyone, it's the best outcome I could have hoped for in the circumstances, and a very satisfactory one for me tbh , ok it doesn't change the fact that the car is written off but all the running gear is ok so got to be thankful for that.

Not gonna go into details or name and shame because I think that would be wrong after the efforts that the above mentioned people have gone to to get it resolved, I really can't thank them enough.

But to answer your question as to who sorted the situation financially, it was the other party's insurance company.

Thanks for the comment about the car btw
