Datatag Motorsport Supporting MORIS
Datatag supports MORIS against theft of motorsport equipment
Datatag have for many years supported Motorsport Race and Rally Insurance Services (MORIS) on-line Storage and Transit products that include the requirement for insured equipment to be Datataged. MORIS were the first motorsport insurance company to create such an association, starting with the on-line Kart Insurance. Justin Everitt explained further:
"Relatively small items such as Karts are quite easy to steal and many insurers who had looked at insuring karts never seemed to do this for very long - because they would be hit with many claims of stolen karts and to make matters worse - there was very little chance of any sort of recovery, so we wanted to build a reliable #motorsportinsurance product that also gave not only our insurers greater protection but increase the opportunity of stolen karts being more readily identified after the event. We expanded this same philosophy to insurance of competition cars and motor bikes"What is Datatag exactly?
As Datatag describe themselves - it is THE ART OF IDENTIFICATION. The concept of Datatag is very straight forward and takes advantage of state of the art identification technologies to permanently mark and protect property. Datatag makes your competition car, kart or motorbike identifiable to the Police and is virtually impossible for a thief to defeat.
This acts as a significant deterrent to criminals who would be encouraged to look elsewhere and who prefer to operate where they can easily remove or change the original manufacturer's identification numbers or marks. When this does happen the stolen property is less likely to be identified and hinders the police further.
Datatag changes all this. The Datatag packs include literally thousands of unique identification marks or tags which can be permanently hidden within the insured competition car, kart or motorcycle. A thief is faced with the impossible task of removing every single identification mark - without damaging the stolen property. A tall order given the Police only need to locate and identify one or two of the marks to assist with a prosecution.

How sucessful is Datatag?
Datatag has made a major impact on reducing theft and the Crown Prosecution Service with a 100% successful prosecution rate when evidence has been supplied by Datatag.
"We have always been very greatful for Datatag's support and we are very pleased they have just announced a comprehensive Motorsport Datatag Kit" Commented Justin Everitt. "It is now the same pack and equipment that can be used accross the board for all competition cars, karts and racing motorbikes. It allows for not just these obvious items to be Datatagged but also all the typical equipment that comes with running a competition machine and especially the kit allows for trailers to be Datataged also. This helps us look after the insurers, reduce opportunist theft and justifies us being able to keep premiums at an affordable level".
