Track time - TIME CHANGE !!

[french car show]

do you do track days?

This is an insurance charge thats billed on each track day for passengers.

Passengers are actually a greater risk to insurers than the driver.

This has been on the cards every single year so not sure why an issue this year.

Like I said I have subsidised the track to the tune of £8000 I am not doing anymore.

Call Rockingham and you get no change out of 15k for the national track alone and I have collected less than £7k pre vat.

Cheers

Yes Mark i do trackdays. Passengers and extra drivers were free on our last one.

Please dont take our comments personally. I am just suprised at this new information coming to light now. It is an additional cost that i wasnt informed about. Now i now its ok. I will inform my members. Thank you.

So it is confirmed at £5 a passenger ?
Will this fee be added - when tracktimers go and sign ?
Do passengers need to sign on with the tracktimers ?
Is there a age limit on passengers ? (under 12's ?)
Is it £5 a passenger per passenger or £5 to cover the car for all passengers ?

Sorry but I'm confused here.

How come I can do a full day open pitlane in November for £199?

Surely at roughly £40 for 30 minute sessions presuming I do more than 5 in a day that equates to the same price?

So why is it such an amazing deal?

It just appears to be exactly the same as a normal trackday?

After the farce that was FCS 2005 I am hoping for much better things or I will not be attending anymore.

:D

I think the points that are trying to be made Mark are:

A) No one knew hence the question being asked, personally i havn't done track time before at FCS so I didnt know if passengers had to pay and thats why I asked he question.

B) The 30 minute slot at £37 or whatever the total cost was is pretty steep as it is IMHO only of course, when I have done full days at Oulton and Brands etc for £169.

Dont we sign a disclaimer anyway for liability ? what makes passengers any different ?

:D

My comment Mark was aimed at the fact that its less then a week to FCS and a additional cost crops up. Its not fair IMO for the people that have already paid, made plans etc, to now have to fork out more money when they have already paid more than enough.

A little bit of notice would of been nice.

yes passengers have to pay the £15 gate fee! its not just £15 to get the car and its occupants in.... u could stow a mate away in the boot if they really wanna skip the gate fee! lol
