Any one managed to get insurance for the day?
I have been advised by LV= that I will not be covered, and they do not offer single day insurance for this type of event, which I described as a parade lap at Bruntingthorpe proving ground.

You'll be doing 15-20 mph tops, on flat ground. You won't be racing, it's not a track day. No need for any special insurance.

If you crash while doing 20mph in a straight line ...

Recently handed a leaflet about Guinness Record attempt whilst driving in London. Am not on Facebook and link to volvotuning.net goes nowhere. So, how do I find more details - timing, registration, cost?, anything else relevant we need to know. Thanks

In hindsight, I shouldn't have sprayed the front of my V70 yesterday. Should have left it until Monday. Guess No.1 slot will not be available.

Best get the fenders off the dingy!
