MG ZR ZS ZT Technical - Track day - Saturday 9th March

If anyone is interested, the SEAT drivers club is holding a Track day at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground (Where Top Gear do alot of testing) on Saturday 9th March. We have opened it up to MG onwers partly cos I am still an MG fan and will be taking my MG Montego Estate rather than the SEAT Leon.

We will be holding a PS2 (Play Station 2) competition through out the day, where someone will be able to win it on the day.
We will also be holding 0-60 and 1/4 mile runs using Satalite testing equipment.
The day starts at about 9:30, and well will continue to run groups of 20 cars (max 100 cars on the day) every 15 minutes. finish time is about 18:00.

It will be strictly run, as is all SEAT drivers club track days, and should be huge fun, especially as its only £50 for the day!!!!!!!!

If you want more information please E-mail me at neil.turner@hds.com (with "SEAT track day" in the subject), and I will e-mail an application form with full details. Limited numbers.....

This venue is the same as the one ran for MGF and FWD register members last Summer.

Neil, does £50 include insurance cover? and how many runs/laps are allowed per car?

£50 insurance - your having a larff!

No onw will insure for Track Days with that sort of premium.

£50 itself is VERY cheap just for the track time!

any idea who does insurance (my policy excludes this) and how much it would cost?
rob

Try Egger Lawson, they do competition car insurance for hillclimbs and sprints at £50 per £5000. Track days should be cheaper. However I would add that I've never met anyone who insures for this sort of thing - you simply drive within your own capabilities, avoid the odd idiot and if in doubt - back off.
David

Insurance Quotes that SEAT guys have been getting are about £45-£60 for the day.

As previously stated, there will be groups of 20 (max 5 groups) going out for 15mins, so you will get a 15 min run every hour or so. Say starts at 9:30ish, ending at 18:00.

E-mail me if your interested, then you'll get more info:-) neil.turner@hds.com
