I agree that the boundary is getting blurred and I expect that in due course track day organizers might start to restrict usage of data logging/video equipment if their insurance companies tell them to ...

P.S. I wonder if the real reason they ban lap timing is just that insurance companies view timing on race tracks as motorsport ....
Oops. Again. Post edited

Yep. It's the reason.
All characters appearing in this post are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
Any references to laptimes, speed or driving on the public highway are purely for dramatic effect.
