and why do you think the inurance companies insist on it ???

because based on a table of probabilities and risk those running lap timers provide a greater risk, therefore become less attractive to both the insurer and the tdo.

the tdo COULD take a cover that would allow lap timers but then you're into "competition" territory and the premiuim rockets.

this like a lot of things is a catch all where the rules need to be written to protect us from the lowest common denominator, which in this instance is the idiot with a lap timer that is proven to be the greatest risk and the most danger.

thems the facts i'm afraid.

And Dom, before you get all paranoid and pee yer pants in anger no one is calling you an idiot.
