Default Track day insurance

Hi everyone I am new to the forum and to the S2000 so please be gentle.
I am soon to be going on my first track day and I was hoping for some advice on insurance.... Either single day or multi coverage if possible....
Any suggestions.

Some insurance companies cover DEs (Driver Education) events on the track, mine does. The key is they are DE events, it is not racing and not competition.

OP, don't ask you're carrier w/o first reading the fine print of your policy. You may get cancelled just for asking.

OP, are you in Australia?

Which carrier do you have? My policy doesn't contain any explicit language about track events, either way.

As you are in the UK, this will help a lot: https://www.s2ki.com/...ck-day-faq-v03/

Some UK insurers will include it in with a policy, but otherwise you are looking at expensive cover and high excess points.

I've never bothered and just driven sensibly (so far).

Which track are you planning to drive?

I go through a broker who is an active member of the PCA, tracks a 911 turbo and GT3. He has a couple of options that he personally makes sure cover DE events the key is DE. I am with Westfield, as is he I believe. I figure if he trust they will cover is $180k car then I trust they will cover my $14k car.
