Myself and a few others are all thinking of chipping in and picking up a Mk1 MR2 as a track car.

As we don't want to spend loads on tax/insurance if we don't have to.

This will help us a great deal in deciding what to do.

But for track use we don't have to have it insured as if we crashed it then we'd scrap it.
Is that right?
Does having a 2nd car affect a policy you already have in place? As I currently have one for my Mk2 and don't want that to go up.![]()
Cheers guys

Yeah we are sharing it between 5 which as you say may mean some people don't get a go which is going to be a problem.Ideally airport days may be better as you get much more time on them but you don't really get proper tracks, just ones set out with cones.
We need to go back and see if money wise this is going to be good investment for the time we will get.If I can find the guys at Northweald who orginise all the days then we may be able to get something regular there which will make the days much more viable.
Thanks!

(having said that, there are other mk1s which look in more of a state than ours
- looking at Lauren
)
Trailering it is the only option if you don't want to insure/RFL it.Depending on your type of license, this may be a problem with weight limits and the D/D1+E
(or something) which is not standard anymore.

We'll definatly MOT it, seems to be the way forward but it's just coming down to travelling to/from the event.What a pain in the bum this is turning into!
