Racing Harness
There are many forms of automobile racing, including road racing,
drag racing, other dirt tract racing. Such races rely on high speed and
are always subject to various accidents cause by driver error,
collision, or mechanical failure. When it comes to car racing safety is
the first priority, which is why there are different racing harness configurations and other safety devices to protect the driver in case of a crash.
Types
A racing harness is available in four, five, and six
point configurations. 4-point harnesses include two belt laps and one
belt for each shoulder. A 5-point harness, also called antisubmarine
belt, has an additional strap that runs down from the lap belt to the
car’s floor. It also prevents the driver from sliding to the front of
the vehicle. The 6-point harness has two antisubmarine belts, which
help with proper load distribution across the body of the driver in case
of a crash.
Functions
Harness used in automobile racing is different from regular
three-point car seat belts. While both car harness and standard seat
belts are meant to restrain the driver in the seat, the harness also
keeps the person safely in the roll cage. In addition, a racing harness
restrains the driver’s movement to a minor discomfort to secure the
driver in place and avoid injury. Due to movement and viewing
restrictions, racing harnesses are not allowed to be used on public
roadways. You can consult with your state’s local laws prior to using
harnesses in normal driving.
