Hi folks, this is my first time, so please be gentle with me !
![]() Next weekend I'm off to Rockingham to do some photography for Mazda on Track - a track driving school type of thing. I have approached Rockingham with a view to obtaining media accreditation, which is all going fine apart from one small detail.... They require that I have Public Liability Insurance of £10 million ![]() Is this a normal amount for a track to ask for ? I ask as all the policies Ive looked up only seem to go up to £5 million ? Am I missing something somewhere...? If so, would somebody please be kind enough to point me in the right direction ? Many Thanks !!! Matt ![]() |

Yes it's normal to need it for working at a track. Never heard of 10 million being asked for. However I would suggest you phone up some of the insurance companies you have tried to see what they can do.

I was going to give Aaduki a call tomorrow - I understand they're pretty good ?
I did think £10m was a bit steep ! Ive also just sent their press officer type person an email to double check..... Thanks for the rapid response, by the way !! ![]() |

Interesting that they are asking for this now.
I covered a BARC Event in June and they didn't even ask me for any PLI !!! Will be interested to hear how you get on. |

Race days are generally covered, but track days etc. aren't.

Mike, probably because the day you did was a raceday and from the sounds of it Matt is shooting a testing day. Very different.
![]() Edit - The Mike was referring to Mr Savage ![]() |

Anglesey wanted evidence of PLI during a recent BRSCC meeting. I put it down to the fact that I was shooting for one of the teams and not for media although what difference it should make I do not know.

Yes, as mentioned, I am indeed shooting at a trackday, not an "official" event, as it were. I am also attending at the request of a club founder to do some publicity shots for him. Hence the reason I'd like to get trackside.
I called Aaduki today, and they said they can do cover up to £10m, but as its trackside stuff, and not just general PLI, they need to refer it to one of their specialist type people - should be getting a call back from them tomorrow afternoon. I'll keep you all posted ! ![]() |

Hmmm. Even Oulton only wanted 5mil...
And I wonder why I've never been to Rockingham...? |

Knockhill ask for £3million PLI for race meetings and MSV ask for £5M for test days. At most other tracks working media are covered by a MSA policy but that obviously only covers working media on actual MSA event days.
PLI is increasingly been requested in other sports too. |

I've got £5m PLI. No-ones yet asked to see the certificate, but I've got it just in case.

Spoke to Aaduki, and they had a look into it for me, came back and said that no one was interested in doing cover up to £10m.... So, I called Rockingham, spoke very nicely to the person in charge of these things, and they said they would accept me with £5m !
Result ! ![]() So now Im all covered, and raring to go ! I can also highly recommend Aaduki - the chap I was dealing with phoned me back to sort my cover out at 1830. Not bad when you consider that they close at 1700...... ![]() |

I can reccomend them too. I don't know them, but anyone who doesn't try to exploit more money out of you has got to be good.
