If the issue was a defect in material or workmanship and not caused by the racing - covered by warranty.It's not cut and dry whether on a track or not. Depends on what caused the problem. That why the owner's manuals in cars designed for the track say racing may affect the warranty. Because it may, depends on what happened and what caused the failure.That's where you need a real good dealer and tech to really diagnose what happened, and not just say - tracked, not covered. They need to go by the written warranty that came with the car. Manufacturing defects are covered, racing damage is not. There is a big difference. Kind of like - a defecting part is covered. Scattered parts from a mechanical over rev at the track are not. That's the difference between a defect, and damage.*The easiest way to look at it is ... damage is not covered, defects are.

yep
