erich Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 I get mine through BCAA, the local Canadian branch of AAA. Ask for insurance with a motorsports rider. The price has skyrocketed in the last two years. It used to be around $250 a year, now it's over $800. Racing has now been lumped in with the extreme sports idiots.

Kind of like how the dentist sends you a note telling you the end of year is coming and you have X amount of insurance funds left on the table? Are the drivers told to use up their insurance funds and go hit a few people? Sure seemed like it at Indy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian insurance for a speed contest usually does not have a problem unless it is for a professional series. Be sure to specify that you are not a professional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice to you is always ask how teams work things and if they want to put a cap on your liability or offer insurance (and increased price) to cover damage under your stint. Our team doesn't have a strict crash policy for example. We charge enough to cover a few hits here and there and look at the car being written off as a risk of racing. Other teams might ding you for a wrinkled fender or even scratches. It's all over the place in this series I'm not aware of any 3rd party companies that will offer insurance for on track racing hits.
