Phones and tablets in race cars
Discussion
So the regulations have stated for a while that you can’t
Have a mobile phone type device in your race car ref 11.3.1
I have seen a few cars still with them installed, so what are the actual regulations? Can you run an iPhone without a sim etc?
I want to try and use race chrono, but struggling how I can run this in my car without a phone or tablet.
Anyone got any alternatives?

Guess it's the difference between being "carried" and "installed"?
Can't see what the difference is between a tablet securely mounted to the car and the modern dashboards which are tablets themselves.
Yes I get that. But I am assuming that the regulations are written to kind of parrot Highway Code regulations and not have people operating a phone whilst driving. It being fixed or loose in the car wouldn’t stop that. Can't see what the difference is between a tablet securely mounted to the car and the modern dashboards which are tablets themselves.
having just this minute spoken to the MSUK tech/regulatory bods, it would appear that it is in someway up to the scrutineer, as to whether you can carry a phone, if you are prepared to have the phone in the car at scrutineering and able to explain how/why you are using it.
I think I will fit mine, but out of arms reach when seated and see what they say.
