Sure, because I speak Kraut I was asked to book a bunch of bikers from work in for several circuits of the Ring and do their accommodation etc. One of the things that came up was insurance and the blerk I spoke to at the Ring said that the bikers normal insurance should cover it.

BTW, for a laugh a couple of years ago I did a track day at an MoD track in Surrey, in the Ford. I burnt out a set of pads - literally burnt out flames coming out through the wheels that needed a CO2 extinguisher to put them out and it also cost me a set of disks. I also discovered on the second lap that despite having put on race pads and disks, I had virtually no brakes at all.
Still the blokes that put me up to it peeed themselves laughing and I didn't bend or dent it unlike the twerp in an Evo who hit a concrete box. So a relatively good time was had by most. You won't be surprised to hear that the only vehicle posting slower lap times was a forward control landie.
