Thanks for the correction. I had assumed (wrongly) that the Cup 2 and Trofeo were Michelin's and Pirelli's equivalent track tyres.

Not quite as good as RS ClubSport but I'm up to 17,000 miles on my car. I agree with an earlier poster that mileage will eventually become less of an issue (as with the F1) - as long as the car has...

Your best bet is either Chubb or Hiscock. Both are insurers of high end vehicles. The policies are the best in the market.
