Nice idea but if you have a 2008 car and there's a circuit built in 2012 you still won't be able to go fast.
Unless they do an ECU upgrade with more circuit data. Seems a bit sledge-hammer:nut to me.

Though maybe the car can't cope with a 200mph top speed. That's the reason why BMW and Merc limit thier cars to 156mph.

Of course it can't - not every day anyway.
And at least if it fails at the track they won't get a warranty claim.

One would assume that updating the circuit data would be done in the same way that you would update the maps used by the GPS software... New DVD or main dealer update?

I thought they were limited because of gentleman's agreement?
