I have, but you are correct, most of the time it is EGO, generally in the Instructors group of someone with a new Turbo. I was at one event where an instructor, hit a wall, in a 911, but had a case of MOTOR OIL in the truck, needless to say, he wasn't the only one to get any damage in that incident.

Imo......if you can't accept the risk of writing off your car at the track be it a de or any type of event on track then it shouldn't be on the track...
If it is a concern you can get track insurance as started previously.......
It's again about personal liability, and covering your own ass in the event of something like this.....
Wo is me If I crash my car on track and someone posts pictures.....that's life....plan ahead..

Which is why I have a dedicated Track car and we have Rental Track cars
The big problem can be getting EVENT insurance, our Dark Side DEs are very clear that it is DRIVERS EDUCATION, not a Racing event, this is what keeps the insurance rates down, as competitive events are more expensive to insure, which means the cost more.
