hi i am 17 and drive a astra but when i turn 18, i am looking at getting a track car and i was thinking about a saxo vtr or a 106 gti and i dont think i would be able to run both cars on the road, well for the insurance so i was wondering would i be able to just get day insurance on the track car for just when i want to take it on the road to drive it to the track

You can get day insurance. may struggle getting it at a decent price though with your age mate might be cheaper just to buy a trailer and trailer it there.

I got it at 20, heard of people getting it at 17 and 18 but its never been cheap, especially for something like a gti/vts.

if he wanted to tow it there and back you would need to go and take a hgv 1 i think thats the one as your licence doesnt allow you to legally tow.

If you tow it you shouldn't need to pay Tax or MOT I believe? Unless you need them to race. Thats a huge extra cost.

on the track it doesnt need to be insured but on the road it does.

1. You can get day/week insurance fairly cheap when under 21 .. just search google properly.
2. Its much cheaper and easier to just add a car to your policy for a week.

Thats my experience anyway
