Sport Chrono and Trackday ban

[Guest]

Hello 997ers, a 996er here, trying to think of reasons not to get a 997...

I have been wondering about the sport chronograph package, I see there is a stopwatch and a Lap Timer built into the Satnav screen, surely if you had one of those on your car then you would be banned from UK trackdays. The regular track hounds will know that the organisers public liability insurance does not allow any king of timing, many of the companies I book with with chuck you off if caught timing, but if you have the sport chrono package then you will easily be able to time yourself, thus invalidating your insurance and the track day organisers. I would feel the only way to make sure people are not timing themselves would be to ban sport chrono equipped 997's..

What are other peoples thoughts about this?

ps what a car, Tiff did it justice at Silverstone last night...yum, yum

Interesting point - I've asked my dealer whether I can order Sport Chrono without the clock - not because I want to get into track days but because I think it looks a bit toytown - but I really want the other bits the re-mapping of the engine, PSM and the suspension. I haven't got a response yet but will keep you posted.

I don't think you'd get banned unless you were seen to be using it.

944's have had a stopwatch built into the dash clock since the 1980's and I don't get any problems [&:]

But you'd need arms like a Gibbon to use it whilst driving wouldn't you Diver?
