Called around the usual and most seem to have stopped providing this. Flux, Sky, REIS.

awaiting call back from Howden, Moris and Classic Line.

Any other recommendations?

Footman James were still offering trackday cover included (limited days, worked out about £30 a day for me) just before Christmas.

I am with Howdens for a heavily modified e46 M3. Road insurance plus track days in blocks of 5 days for £250.

How does track day insurance work, is it different from normal road insurance?
Does it only cover your car or can a third party claim off your insurance if you run in to them whilst on track?

Your car only, no 3rd party cover.

Thank’s for clarifying

I was with Greenlight insurance for years, they covered trackdays.

Caveats:

- Won't insure any car that isn't "performance" or modified
- Won't insure any BMW
- Won't insure for Castle Combe

Their price was competitive, and their staff all UK based and knowledgeable about cars, customer service was good. Only reason I left is that I bought an Alpina.

I'm with Classicline.

Road insurance plus a bundled pack of 6 free track days per year. Each additional one is charged at £56, but car club ones like PCGB don't come out of your allowance. They cover everywhere except the Ring.

Like all insurers, though, you'll know how good they are when you need to claim.

Just a word of warning but a few underwriters ClassicLine use have withdrawn from offering trackday cover at policy renewal. IRC it’s First Underwriting and ERS that have left the track cover market, who represented to bulk of CL track cover policies.

They still have a few underwriting options but are far more limited on what they can arrange track cover for and the premium looks much more chunky.

Oh, that's not good news. My policy is up for renewal at the end of March, so will have to see what happens.
