Spot on.
Also, BMW and Mitsubishi have been known to (although I have not heard of this happening recently) look through the events to see if they are recording times (as this would stipulate it is a timed/racing event), find out which cars were entered and who owned them and then turn around and drop them from BOTH warranty AND insurance.......It was bad for some time there a few years ago!
