Damage Responsibility
| Limits (Canadian funds) | |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | $0 |
| Day 2 | $0 |
| Day 3 | $1900 |
Should a race car be damaged, drivers are only responsible for up to the amount shown at right in any single incident. Considering the potential of some damage, it is only fair that drivers have this minor amount 'on the line'. This is really a bonus! Consider that the next time you get in a race car, you may not enjoy this consideration and might be accountable for the entire cost of the race car!
Compare other schools. Remember, the safety of the track is an integral function of the probability of a crash and the extent of damage. Compare facilities! Compare walls and guardrails! There is no driver damage responsibility for damage clearly resulting from mechanical failure!
Wheels Off Fines
You will not be charged simply because your wheels go off-track or you spin.
