Hi just a quick question i was thinking of booking a track day in mondello park in a 318is 1996 and am just concerned would the track day destroy my car well destroy is a strong word but not do it any favours the thoughts of lashing around the track sounds great but i dont want to cause any damage to engine or that would i be better in one of there track days where ya drive their mazda and formula ford or do ya think my own car be fine and i shouldn worry so much ??

You most likely won't do any mechanical damage from driving it hard, apart from speedy tyre and brake wear, but the other people on the track may crash into you.

Does anyone know if any Irish insurance companies do special cover for track days?

ah the tyres and pads wouldnt bother me at all just be afraid of blowin the engine or it overheatin or that

I wouldnt do it with my own car. Clutch, brakes, tyres & engine will take a hammering if ya go flat out which I assume you will.

Are your suspension & brakes in tip top condition? Dont do it if not.

I dont know how many laps you can do at these track days but you would probably overheat your brakes and get a very bad spongy pedal fairly quickly if you drive a few hot laps together.
