[derek]

[Mark CSL]

What colour is you CSL ??

[derek]

black

[Mark CSL]

were you at knockhill a not long ago there was a black CSL watching at the hairpin at knockhill when i was on track

[derek]

no my car has never been near the track, seen some of your pics looks good, do you have track insurance?

Hello Derek,

Hope you're well (and thanks for the PS2s... )

You might struggle to find 'reasonable' track insurance. The premiums will be very high (£3-500 just for the day), hardly anything is covered (ie no third party cover - which is particularly what I was after) and often a pay-out limit of only £15-20k (ok for a Caterham, less so for a £30k CSL!)

Because of all of this, you might find that most of us accept the risk and track our cars without specific track insurance. I certainly do.


HTH,

I dont have track insurance just watch what the nuters drive like and do the same you dont want this to happen




This is a friend of mine but he was racing in the scottish saloon cars

Ha HA ha
The day you are going is the best days.

Have you upgraded the brakes ?? race fluid / braided brake pipes / red stuff pads and the standard brakes are great on track.

Also get a good tyre gauge and check the tyre pressures as they get very high
when you are on track.

i have just put on aps, got a tyre gauge, just need some valium if i dont get track insurance
