No insurance on a track day folks... there are anti-competition clauses in every auto policy.
The only way you can get around it is with a "driving school". But if there's a lap timer, your're screwed.
Let's say that years ago when I was in the industry I heard about a guy doing a track day in a Viper that spun into a wall and wiped out the whole car.
I heard that he had the car flatbedded to a certain local shop, and heard that he had the slicks swapped for street tires. I heard that he had the car flatbedded back to the entrance road for the track and dumped in the roadside ditch.
Than called his insurance company and reported the accident.
This of course is insurance fraud which I would never attempt, or assist in.

From the Brz's position - say you are out for a nice drive from Baldy to Azusa and in the middle of a turn a bike comes at you on your side, do you hold your line or risk your car and life for an idiot? - sorry dude

back when I worked up in Sonoma this would happen weekly at Sears Point. Stuff your car on a track even and tow it out before you call insurance, we had a joke about how many mysterious wrecks there were right outside the track on Hwy 37
Oh and to clear up the mystery of who was at fault with the wreck, the Mclaren was filming the whole thing and then quietly removed his GoPro right after the incident. If he was really innocent wouldnt he be the first person posting the real footage of the incident? Case closed.

Lmao! I've seen this guy driving his McLaren around in Costa Mesa before. He was still rocking the Newport Beach McLaren dealer plates on his car. Looked like he had just bought it.
