From a strictly compettive standpoint, a straight up-and-down roll bar doesn't doo too much to stiffen the chassis. What it does do though, is add additional support to the existing roll structure of the car to prevent it from collapsing on you in the event of the car going "turtle".

In order to get some good chassis rigidity, it to have the bar tie into more points of the car. Even four points would get you some better stiffness from two points...

Most sanctioning bodies don't want you on the track without some form of roll protection. In SCCA Time Trials, you can play without a bar, but if you want harnesses (other than the factory 3 point belt), you HAVE to have a good roll bar...
