Its actually on page 34 of the PDS....

You obviously have the 'Club Racing' benefit shown in your schedule to cover you for such events?

8OO5TED,

Mate it's part of standard coverage. At least up to $20k or insured value whichever is lower.

You can also take out a full coverage option with Shannons provided they grant coverage.

They have revised the PDs on their website (which I have downloaded for your benifit). It's now only 30pages long.

I am telling you they cover this because I actually HAVE a policy with them and when I took it out I had the very helpfull Shannons person explain to me how  it works.

They are a great company to deal with too.

Interesting, I actually HAVE a policy with Shannons, and not only this but I WORK for Shannons too.....

We provide coverage for driver training courses designed to improve your skills and that are under guidance of trained proffessional intructors. It must also not be a CAMS affiliated event.

IF you have the 'Club Racing' benefit noted on your schedule, then you will have coverage 'in any race, pacemaking, reliability trial, speed or hill climbing test' but only if its CAMS approved AND 'on a racetrack or testing ground or land immediately adjacent to a racetrack or testing ground if such an event is carried out under the license from the CAMS body'

SO please check your schedule to see that 'Club Racing' is noted if you want track coverage, otherwise it will only be covered for driver training purposes....

hahahaha rev210

i hope you deleted those posts yourself.

Noise... aftermarket engine management is a big deal according to licencing... as i recall there are alot of emissions tests that need to be carried out to get it accepted. this is what i remember from the information night. Now i guess if you had some documentation to say that your aftermarket computer was passed and is acceptable..then you can submit that to HBF and ask for them to review the fact that your car is FULLY ROAD LEGAL with an aftermarket engine management system

If you cant get that.. then the car isnt legal and insurance dont cover illegal vehicles...why would they.

When you claim... if mods are illegal then your claim will more than likely be rejected..

For all those wondering why some policies are expensive... well turbo imports have been quite cheap through hbf for the longest time

as the numbers grow on the books the prices will go up as the claims costs will go up.

and rev....heard your story before.. last time a big insurance thread came up.. i wonder what other people with good claims experiences must have done to get good service.. weird how we discriminate against import owners? weird

Companies like HBF that have been lax on their following up of imported vehicles have now started to crack down.. or rather pull in the reigns of their underwriting departments so that the growing number of customers can get decent service. Last thing you want is to claim and then find out that becuase of someone slack in the department you have to for some reason lose out on your claim or not get the best benefits possible.

efficiency is usually good.. if not right away.. i am sure it will work out best in the end.
