'Another' Ring Forum Trip.......

The ombusman has ruled in favour of claiment for 3rd part damages in a few cases, fact. However, a condition is a gagging order to stop the floodgates opening... all basically down to the EU law. What people will tell you in person and what you find posted on the 'net are very different things.

You stuff your car though, you've got a lot more work trying getting anything back.

Again - balls, time and money.

....

I'm very put off by the insurance aspects - The risks of an incident are far greater than everyday road driving and the hassle and costly inconvenience would be substantial even if it's not your fault. I know someone who had more than just armco to pay for at The 'Ring.

Consequently I won't be taking my car around The 'Ring.

Besides, I have a damaged SAMCO intercooler > turbo hose and can't get a replacement for 4 weeks.

It's good you know the full picture and can make a level headed decision, even if that means you say no. Plenty do. Rather than plough in trying to set records with no real understanding of the track or concequences... they're the people you see coming back on a low loader.

You've got to accept that although tricky to deal with the 3rd party aspect, it is valid through the EU parity laws on a public day.. but in the event of you stacking your own car, you're most likely paying for it yourself.

Take your helmet and get a few passenger laps, you never know, it might go quiet enough in the evening for you to be tempted for a potter around too. There's times I've not seen another car on there, so you'll feel much more at ease. Try avoiding going near the track after closures for half an hour or so too, others impatience causes problems and you can find yourself swamped and offline.

Take care out there, although it isn't anywhere as dangerous as you'd think if you keep your eyes peeled, speed down and learn where the dangerous/blind points are beforehand. its a very enjoyable bit of road, that's how I treat it, not as a race track.

Excellent advice, Mike :drinking: :happy2:
