Track day insurance?

mynameisplayer · 05-11-2018, 05:40 AM

Is it cheaper to pay a Towie to stand-by and "oh no, my car fell off a cliff" than have track day insurance? Famous will cover up to $10k, but that will only get you wheels and tyres for a M3/4 - what if you roll the thing?

At this stage, tough luck.

Australia desperately needs to catch up to the UK and US. I'd happily pay $400 per track day for full cover on top of my $2k premium.

Defrauding an insurance company with a "truck fell off a cliff" scenario is a bad idea.

You'll likely end up as someone's bitch in jail for quite a number of years.

It's just a joke you hear in pit lanes.

Yeah...committing insurance fraud is at the top of every M owners list

@thebatman isn't this the same "player" that drives the rotors and 3 sets of tires off his car in 11k miles— but doesn't do an oil change since break-in?

now he's trying to figure out how to catch a cell with bubba

some days the world makes perfect sense..
