[bobandshar]

Well that's certainly thrown a spanner in the works.
Have just checked our insurance definitions and we are not covered for attending Silverstone full stop, let alone the track lap. (

I cant see all the fuss its probably safer parking and driving IN silverstone then it is in Waitrose car park, just go and enjoy it. If you have a scrape you can say you did it at horwood house

yep, duncan, you should have let sleeping dogs lie.!

true paul, you can say that you scraped it anywhere!

everyone else does, thats why the premiums are so high!

Where does it say you wont be insured if you attend Silverstone :-\

thats for track use mike, but what about just parking in there?

as hornel said, its just like parking on any private land i.e. supermarket or store carpark.

ive looked through my policy book this morning, and the only restrictions are no racing and track use.

mark naughty boy gee!

mine says that, but that must mean track or cct use not being on the land and parking.

track and circuit equals a rack track or cct.

so i read into it as not insured for parade lap but insured to park.

what are peoples thoughts,

if you do check with your insurance company they will try and charge you.

anything for money :-o

Below is an extract from the response to Dunc on the BMWCCGB forum

Will we need to advise our insurers when we pay to park in the Cricket ground car park, in case a ball may hit our car---Or at an Aircraft display at a base.We are NOT taking part as a Competitor at Silverstone, but Parking in a designated PUBLIC car park area.

The display lap is a NON competitive "PARADE"around a Closed Private circuit, Controlled and led by BRDC Marshalls with 60 years experience in this proceedure, having done the same Hundeds of times.

I have arranged for a number of VERY valuable Classic Cars and Motorcycles--which are priceless to Their owners, to display for everyones enjoyment over three days------All owners are well aware of the location and have not advised me of any concerns.

I agree with what you say, but Silverstone on the whole is classed as a circuit, could this be a clause for insurances to bail out.

Nevertheless we are coming regardless.

Love it

I've done it for you Mr Gee - goodness knows where the quotes would have ended up if we'd left it to you

Jeez! I've been to a few of these kind of events with my old MX5 and never considered that parking in a car park, off the racing track, but inside the circuit as being such a risky thing to do. :-o I just never thought about it and had not thought about it until all this stuff above in the last few hours. You don't have to tell your insurance company if you go to see an F1 race and park in the circuit car park, do you?! Course you don't! :-\ I signed up at the last minute to the ZedFest as you can see. I am beginning to think I should have not done so!! :-s :-s
