Re: Insurance...sorry to bring it up
Sadly it is not a question of being legal or not. Facility is there to ensure that everyone can be insured. If you read the fine print of your insurance policy you will find that if you change the risk factors of your car/driving then the insurance company can cancel your insurance. Modifying your car and not notifying your insurance company is considered grounds for canceling and getting kicked to facility. Running your car at timed events is considered grounds for canceling your policy as well. Lapping a car may or may not.
The sad truth is that under the current direction that the insurance companies are going, dedicated track cars are becoming necessary. Facility has to cover you by law. You may not like the prices you pay. When you go to apply for insurance, notice that there is a question about whether you have had an insurance policy canceled. This is the big red flag for the insurance company.
We had a hell of a time insuring the car we took to Targa Newfoundland this year, even though last year it was not a big issue. Targa cars need to be street plated and insured to run.
Before everyone jumps down my throat, talk with your insurance company first and see how they stand on it.
