It's been talked about. I think CARS is on the fence on that one.
There's a benefit to that brake rule, it effectively keeps some of the monster cars out of production class, which keeps it a bit...

After CARS announced they'd be allowing the Hutchins Hybrid, I ordered mine right away. And it just arrived today! Here's a quick review:
First impression is that it's a nice looking unit.

A...

I never really paid attention, but I think it's offset a bit in that car too. But I've driven it, and honestly, you don't notice at all, unless it's WAY off.

Some good news from CARS released today:

<quote>NRR I A.7: Head and Neck Restraints –wording modifications
Rewrite first paragraph: “Each competitor must wear a head and neck restraint system...

I've been bugging several people at CARS for years. There is no way they'll ever accept SFI 38.1.

But the good news is that the FIA is in the process of rewriting their standard. Once that's...

There's no exact reason stated anywhere...
But it will be allowed during testing effective immediately. Just not yet during competition. My guess is the delay is to allow all the teams that want...

Looks like the Hutchens Hybrid has been approved for use by NASCAR.
For the past 2 years, the only device they've allowed has been the HANS.

Here's something VERY interesting that I just found out! I wish I'd known this a year ago, it could really have influenced my picks in the WRC pool.

Seb Loeb did not drive for a factory team in...

Here's a quote which I completely agree with. Particularly the part in bold.


In order to understand how this applies to head and neck restraints. It is nessesary for you to understand what...

Copied and pasted from SFI 38.1:


SFI claims they will purchase the product and re-test it periodically. Whether they actually do that or not... I have no idea. But I would think the threat of...

I'm not sure what you mean by that...



SFI standard 38.1 for head and neck restraints has never been revised since its creation. I've seen that there's a lot of people who feel there is a...

Just thought I'd give an update. My research has been ongoing. I've actually been in communication with the manufacturer's of these devices, and some have been extremely helpful.
So far, I've...

I just had a thought, the Leatt Brace might not be good for co-drivers. The 'front upper member' sticks out from your chest, and might get in the way of your trying to read the notes. But you'd...

Don't quote me on that! That's what his codriver posted on specialstage :-D

You just have to realize that there's a lot of damage rally guys consider "cosmetic", that most normal people would...

It's impossible to know just how much of an improvement an H&N would have had. But I think it would have helped, certainly it would be better than nothing. A conventional H&N, like a HANS would...

I don't know how long it took for him to recover. But his codriver reported in, that they are both fine, and the car suffer mostly just cosmetic damage.

That jump/turn became infamous in 2004. ...

Here's an eye opening video to watch. This was the Silver STI driven by Robert Jekoz at Tall Pines this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNeamTQywV4

Watch it right to the end. You can hear...

Oh, and one other thing I forgot to mention.

Because most of these devices are tethered to your helmet. They require your helmet to be modified in order to be installed. This is pretty...

I think if you're wearing any of these devices, lateral movement should be limited enough already. Probably the largest benefit of a wrap-around seat is that it helps prevent any foreign objects...

I've been seeing a lot of discussions on other forums lately, regarding various Head and Neck supports. Since's there's an increasing number of SPDA guys starting up in rally, and road racing, and...
