    Track Day Insurance

    I am a new C63 AMG Coupe owner and want to do the odd trackday and wondered if there is any usual insurers people use ? My previous car (Ariel Atom) had 5 days as part of the policy but Aviva wont consider the C63 to be a sports car so wont include it. Any advice / recommendations ? D

    C43 owners - done any track days?

    I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has used a C43 (or indeed just about any Merc/AMG!) on a track day and how it went. Did you have any particular issues or did the car hold up pretty well? Did you have brake fade problems, ESP spoiling fun, shredded a pair of tyres in a day...

    Track rod causing steering wheel vibration?

    Went to get my front wheels balanced on the weekend due to a steering wheel wobble between 60 and 80 mph. However, upon further inspection it turns out there is some play in the right near-side wheel. The movement is left to right rather than up and down and I was told I'd need a new track rod...

    track rod and track rod end same on W124 E300 and W210E300TD?

    I may be able to get a gaiter for the steering rack from a W124 E300, but I need to put my old track rod in the W124, if they are the same I just swap my old track rod and gaiter in one piece and get the gaiter from the W124? Cheers. Olivier

    190E Cosworth or C36/43 for track?

    Toying with the idea of buying a car and modding it solely for circuit use. My only requirement is that it must be a Merc, ideally AMG. Am I better off with 190E Cosworth or C36/43? I'm just testing the water so any ideas are welcome.
