Crail Track Day 15th May

Neil got some wind of a Boxster track day at Crail on the 15th May - which the Z4 guys are looking to get in on.

What do you think guys... one last swansong for the 328i Dunc?

The spectacle of Z4s and Boxsters being eaten up by 330Ds would be rather amusing..

Perhaps Kev would like to assist me in giving them Boxster boys a right royal thrashing on the back straight!

Hello All,

It's my mate that's organising the event and your all welcome.  There is still a few slots available.  I suggest you look at the Boxa.Net link in the previous post. 

So far though, we've got a Z4 (mine), loadsa Boxsters and a Ferrari.

There are other activites apart from driving so it should be a good day out.

You're probably right Jules but them diesel boys are maniacs.. have you been able to confirm Crail as a venue for insurance purposes? I'll ask the Scottish guys on Sunday and take it from there.

Best

Jon

It's a Ferrari 360 Modena.  So I would think most of us will be toast.  Though a lot depends on the driver.

Would love to see the CSL in action.

Thats a monster engine!

There a couple of CSL in Henry Bros Glasgow if you've got some spare cash!

Prices still inflated.. I'll wait a couple of years first.. but I'm certainly not against the idea. Would prefer the M1 if one came up..

For 40K I can have my 993Turbo4.. a whole different kind of performance..

360Modena.. about 420bhp.. yah? I'td be nice to see how quickly it pulls away from the M on the back straight.. have to take into ac**** he'll get the power down quicker.

My attendeance still v/much dependant on sorting out my insurance.. the problem remaining that Crail is not recognised by most insurance companies.. and we're certainly not covered as this is a non-club event for us.

Thoughts.?

No insurance arrangements have been made as far as I am aware.  If you crash, I'm affraid it's tough luck.  Or you get a policy that covers you for track days.

What arrangements do you typically have?

I'm speaking with AON and Competition Car Insurance as we speak..

Getting cover is essential to bringing in Scottish venues into the 'Better Driving Days' schemes.. it's what gives members confidence to bring their cherished cars to these events... many would like to but worry about the lack of cover and supervision.

As to established venues.. Croft would be our closest destination and sounds worthwhile from the thread on the forum. spoke to Nick and sounds like a sound bloke to give our support to.. check it out under Better Driving Days forum.
