Crash Damage Liability Reduction Offering

Garage 56 Engineering provides you with the opportunity to experience the true potential of some very capable and expensive cars. The financial risk of a crash is enormous – it can be the entire value of one or more cars. This risk discourages many owners from ever taking their own car onto a race track. We solve the problem by providing you with our cars to drive, and providing reasonable limitations on your maximum possible damage liability. 

Even though crash damage is relatively rare, you need to understand your crash damage liability. In order for you to utilize a car provided by Garage 56 Engineering, you hereby agree, that you will pay to Garage 56 Engineering, in accordance with this Agreement, all the parts, labor, and other expenses required to repair or replace any car or other Garage 56 Engineering equipment, or any guardrail or other racetrack property which is damaged or disarranged (collectively termed “Damage”) as a result of your operation of a Garage 56 Engineering car. 

Your liability for damage is unlimited; however, your damage can be limited to a maximum of $8,000 per incident by paying $500 per rental prior to the commencement of the event. You will be responsible, but only up to your maximum liability limit, for any Damage which may occur during or as a result of your operation of a Garage 56 Engineering car, regardless of cause or fault.
