Might be worth getting the cars insured for the event

I will have a word with Pete, he got some quotes for his cup car.

I guess the maximum exposure is the cost of a reshell or an engine rebuild

I got a reasonable quote from someone like motorsport insurance services, but coul never get them to send me the bloody quote in writing despite loads of pokes.

However, I have recently taken out personal injury insurance for track us (In case of permanent disability for which I'm not covered through work for racing), and I used www.moris.co.uk. I did it all online and it was pretty painless. They then called me the following week to ask if they could insure the car as well but its frankly not worth it. Certainly seem ok to deal with though,

This competition does look great. Best of luck guys, I'm very interested to see how this goes.

certainly 2 sets would do the job I reckon (just as well as I only have 8 wheels !) - budget 8x£90

fuel @ circa 60 L per hour

entry fee ??

a set of brake pads all round @ £300

that's about the consumables covered

Need to buy or borrow whatever these regulation fuel jugs are ???

Then Tracktoys for support fueling etc

Bend it mend it

job done
They are some very generous costings to whoever's driving with you Clive!

This has gone quiet #

Assuming the harsh realities of costs and insurance have replaced the initial excitement
