It's never been required at the drags. A friend of mine had a horrible situation where a woman stepped out in front of his street car (EH Holden with a 13:1 compression 509 cube big block type of street car) as he was driving back up the return road at Willowbank. She was completely at fault, but she tried to sue for pain, suffering, PMS, all previous failed relationships, and I'm sure a host of other ailments.

She was an opportunist who it transpires had already done the same thing down at Calder 3 years earlier and got a healthy payout. B!tch...

Anyway, despite not having a 3rd party extension, the insurer considered that any road surface that cars were reasonably expected to use in a public setting was good enough to have the same coverage as a public road. As such, the insurer took over the case on my mate's behalf.

I'd be interested to see how that translates now. I'd think that 3rd party would cover you in the pits if you hit anyone. If you come spearing off the track and into the crowd, I reckon you still might be on your own...
