What setup for roll protection and belts do you guys like to use for a street/track car? I am looking to update / redo my setup soon and looking for what you guys have done.
I currently run a roll hoop that bolts to the floor and belts that are bolted to the firewall (but not very adequately). I'm kind of ruling out a harness bar due to the reports of the belts being mounted a little high. Does a roll hoop even really add much protection with the 914 having the targa bar? Does anyone know why they added them to the 914 gt? Maybe for a more high speed crash? |

Thinking back to "trying" to drive on track with street seats and belts...I would not recommend doing that from either a safety, performance or fun aspect, unless you are really just casually trying it out for the first time.
With POC it used to be the case once you passed a certain level of performance mods - not many - the rollbar/cage etc became mandatory. (At least for competitive events, not necessarily DE/AutoX). Also HANS or similar (which is a damn good idea for everyone too regardless of rules.) So for sure the #1 rule is to read the rule book of each group you might even potentially want to go drive with. |
