Hans Sells add on Anchors so you can upgrade your helmet to use the Hans device, but the Helmet manual says if you alter the helmet in any way you void the safety classification.

Do you know if CRC will allow this modification?

Jon:

As per CARS NRR I, A, 6., you may mount hardware on a helmet for FIA approved HANS devices. Read the rule carefully.

While I was on the CARS Rules Committe, this is one of the rules that I worked very hard to get in place (not the FIA part, but the mounting part).

Thank you for this Doug.

The more of our older equipment we can adapt, the easier the transition will be. It's less wasteful - better for the environment- and easier on the pocketbook.

Note, it doesn't have quite as much "bling" as the more expensive models as it isn't carbon fiber (it's actually plastic, recycle code 7 right on it...), and it is heavier, but I'm sure with the belts pulled down tight I won't even notice it.

I am interested in your opinion of the 20 Degree angle and how it feels. I believe the sport model only comes in M.20 and i have a very upright seating position so I dont know how it will feel. Let me know what you think and thanks for the pictures. Jon

Hi Jon,

I haven't had a chance to try it in a race seat yet, no. I've had it on with the tethers and everything, but it's really hard to tell how it will feel until I get in a race seat with belts. The seat I'll be in is a Sparco Circuit. From what I've read though the 20 degree is the norm for our kind of application.

At the moment you're right though, it is only available in the 20 medium, at least until there are more molds and they start making different ones.

Though it has been recommended, or suggested that those with a big chest go with a 30 degree. But 90% of rally folk seem to be running the 20 degree.
