Did any of you click on the link to the SEMA site that actually discussed what they were talking about?

If you read through it, a Japanese journalist uncovered the system on a test drive at Suzuka. The Nav system warned him that "any damage that occurred to the vehicle ON THE TRACK would not be covered under the Nissan factory warranty." It doesn't sound like a blanket voiding of the warranty and to me that sounds reasonable. Given all the electronics in the car, I'm sure it can monitor just about everything going on. If you blow your motor racing at the track, should Nissan have to buy you a new one?

No matter how well engineered a race car is, it will break parts. Mitsubishi's warranty claims were so high on Evo's that they had to start that SCCA spying thing. Should the manufacturer of a car have to pay to support your racing habit? I guess Nissan went one step further and nicer, basically saying (at least in Japan, who knows about here) that, we know you're going to race, but we aren't paying for it if you break the car while racing.
