I believe that this is a letter that you get from your insurer..( eg Suncorp) , that covers you for injuring a third party, during an event.
When I used to race the black Cobra, it was always one of the things on my "checklist" when I was off to racing.
I'd go into Suncorp, let them know when i was racing....they had a one page " form letter", that they simply entered the date of the meeting, signed it and gave it to me...no cost.
Care.... I was always under the impression, that this letter was for the protection of both the owner,and anyone else on the track, but maybe you should double check with your third party insurer,as to what it covers.
This has nothing to do with your " normal" insurance, which it would appear the other guys are talking about....they're quite right...the car is not insured for damage on the track...
Not that it's ever happened, but if someone was to have an accident on the track, and soon after a race meeting, have a similar accident on the road...and accidentally damaging the same spot, then maybe they might still claim for the cost to repair....
Not that's ever happened !!!
Cheers,

Now you're talking Wazza. That's exactly what I needed to know. "Third Party Exemption" is what I was seeking clarifications on. Wasn't sure what it was called.
For those that seemed to think I was unsure, I do understand that std insurance does not cover track usage.
The reason for my seeking out the info is if I had a rego'd car and got a call on a Saturday morning to go do some sprints in the arvo, how difficult is it to get that 3rd Party Exemption before going for a spin that day? I wonder if it can be done over the phone a few hours before???
Wazza, can you shed any light on that by any chance?
