Always best to check with your individual insurer though and get any approvals in writing. Phone call conversations are difficult to replay if you need to............

Yeah I looked right into Bluey......I actually started a thread with the companies reply after passing on all the details regarding the day to the insurance mob. Everything I received regarding the day was passed on and they refused to cover me. Given I'm more than happy with my insurer I'm not changing just for the drive day. I'm am though thinking of just doing it anyway.

Just do it
Its a great day. If you drive within your limits then its quite safe and there is minimal chance you'll make friends with any foreign objects.

What you will notice though is that the car will feel like you're driving down a set of steps on your way home after the event. Your tyres will be well and truly shagged. Mine were junk after the day and I almost had the paint on my Brembos peel..
The motorkhana is waaaaaay fun and the wing mirror adjustment "education" is an eye opener. Still adjust my mirrors this way right to this day.
