The Supra from blore might be there. But if the Enzo (if at all it's here) and Porsche GT come, that'l really turn things on.

Damnnn I saw the Rules and Regulations and welll its DAMMNN Extensive. I mean I need a Race/Rally License from Cheannai? Plus I gotta have my car insured for the Race Spec. Also they need a Personal Insurance thing. All of these things I dont have and well in a weeks time I dont think I can procure all the Docs. Guess Im out of this Speed RUn :,(

Dippy · 16th March 2004, 18:48

Shit thats bad news RG . I wonder when they came up with these issues. Maybe I guess after Timmy Shah lost his life after he fell from his Busa. But they had mentioned before that anyone with a car and a license to drive could participate.. Wierd things there..... But I hope you will join us to watch the drag and bring ur baby along...

Cheers

Shan2nu · 16th March 2004, 20:08

That's real sad dude, but anyway....there's always next time. With close to 500 bhp, you could have really taken the others, hands down.

Hey Rish,
That bit of news stinks.
I was looking forward to watching your baby at full throttle. Anyway, as Shantanu said, there's always a next time. Who knows, you might have an even more powerful exotic then. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

GTO · 16th March 2004, 20:47

Hey RG,

Try calling Autocar. They are really co-operative toward getting more participants. The insurances should take 24 hours...MAX. Licence, well...Autocarindia will be the best source of info.

U want to know something MORE STUPID..........I spoke to the Insurance Company for the 2 Days of Race Insurane and they said I have to pay a Premium of 2 % Of my car value !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR ONLY 2 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!

GTO · 16th March 2004, 21:13

Why dont you ask another insurance company for just temporary insurance...ONLY to cover the two days. That way you can get a more competitive rate for those two days, while keeping your current cover for the rest of the year.

GTO

Shan2nu · 16th March 2004, 21:42

2% of your car's value?

At 1.47 , 2% comes to Rs. 2,94,000. Not worth it.
This is really stupid man, you can't spend that much for a few 400m runs.

Don't do it unless you get everything settled.

Regards...

hey this is bad news yaar. last year they never had such rules. anybody with a license cud take part.

rgowani · 16th March 2004, 22:24

Yea I know. GTO I cannot take a Temp Insurace I need that to have the SPECIAL RACE Insurance. My Mechanic spoke to 3 Companies and told him that a Surveyor will come to survey the car and then he will decide what the Premium will be. But he said the Minimum is arnd 2 %.

GTO · 16th March 2004, 22:44

Ouch, this 2% thing really hurts.

I wonder how all the other fast cars go about their insurance.

rgowani · 17th March 2004, 00:39

Well Dippy told me this has just been Enforced this year. It wasnt there last year. Also when my Mechanic spoke to the Insurance Agents they said recently they had got a lot of Enquiries for the Speed Run. BUT all of them backed out. Now I want to see who is going to take part in the Run after all this Insurance and Race License thing. The Insurance Company told me that they will have to take a survey of the CAR and then they will tell the Premium. Also they were asking me what speed will I touch and how much total are u going to run it
