Circuits Offer Icons to Young Drivers Facing Car Insurance Costs - News

  • Parliamentary insight shows that UK car insurance quotes have skyrocketed in recent years
  • Young drivers are being hardest hit, often pricing them out of driving performance cars
  • Driving experiences provide an opportunity to drive a supercar in a thrilling, safe, and cost-effective way

As a recent parliamentary report reveals soaring car insurance quotes in the UK, young drivers facing high premiums for performance cars have an exciting alternative: the chance to drive these vehicles on a race circuit.

However, while the cost of car insurance has risen sharply since the pandemic, young enthusiasts can still fulfil their dreams of driving a supercar in a thrilling, safe, and cost-effective manner with us here at Trackdays.

The House of Commons Library report, entitled The Rising Cost of UK Car Insurance, shows that insurance quotes have skyrocketed by 82% since May 2021*. Factors contributing to this increase include the availability of spare parts, energy prices, and the rising costs associated with repairing more sophisticated vehicles.

Young drivers are particularly affected by these escalating insurance costs. However, the report notes that increased insurer profits are not driving these price hikes.

Dan Jones, Operations Manager at TrackDays.co.uk, says: "Young drivers often find themselves priced out of owning high-performance cars due to skyrocketing insurance costs. Driving experiences present a fantastic opportunity for them to get behind the wheel of supercars, EVs, and other performance vehicles without the financial burdens of ownership, insurance, or maintenance."

One such experience is our brand new 'The Icons' Driving Experience, which is proving particularly popular among young drivers, allowing participants to drive a selection of legendary classic performance cars on a race circuit.

Dan adds: "While car insurance quotes remain high and may continue to do so, we encourage young drivers eager to experience the thrill of performance cars to explore exciting alternatives to ownership."

"There are numerous accessible race circuits across the UK that offer a stunning fleet of cars to drive, providing an unforgettable experience without the costs associated with owning a vehicle. It's definitely an option worth considering."

Visit our All Star Driving Experiences page today on the TrackDays website to book our new The Icons Driving Experiences, starting from as little as £49, or browse and book for dated Gift Vouchers on our regularly updated All Star Driving Experiences Calendar.
