I was sent this as part of an account I've signed up to.

I don't really know how I feel about this? On the one hand, I don't currently buy insurance when I race as any additional cost is generally to be avoided in my mind, but on the other hand, there is a certain element of reassurance that I'd get from knowing that I had to insure myself and the car before I go out on track.

I know compulsory insurance has been talked about and much maligned for some time but how much truth do we think there is in this and could it be coming to us soon? Surely the impact on motorsport and the subsequent supply chain would be immense if carried out in full?
