    Anyone ever used the AA for recovery from trackdays?

    I've always wondered if the AA would actually recover a car from a trackday or not. I presumed they wouldn't.

    Just looking through there T&C's (as you do):

    "the AA does not consider the following activities to be Motor Sport Events, and thus will provide service to a participating vehicle if properly requested:

    (a) 'Concours d`elegance' events;
    (b) Track test days for road-legal vehicles;
    (c) Rallies held exclusively on open public 'highways' where participants are required to comply with all operative speed limits."

    Thought that was interesting As I assumed they wouldn't recover from trackdays!

    Might help someone in future

    Well now that you are armed with the above information, you won't need to push it out of the grounds in future

    I've done it more than once.....trackday is not classed as a competetive/motor sport event event so the aa will come out, in my experience anyway
