SAFETY
-
* Replacement of driver and passenger seats with an alternate seat is permitted. Tube and cloth-style seats not recommended.
* Driver and passenger seats must be mounted securely enough to withstand a major impact. An SFI or FIA-approved race seat is recommended.
* OEM seats must be used with OEM 3-point seat belts or Schroth brand 4-point harness with ASM Technology only.
* Vehicles equipped with a fixed-back race seat are recommended to use a 5 or 6-point racing harness. OEM 3-point seat belts are allowed but must be routed in a specific manner for functionality. The lap belt must route through the lower two harness holes so that proper fit and function is realized across the driver’s lap. In most cases, a seat belt extender is recommended. Shoulder belt routing shall either pass through the top harness hole or over the shoulder of the seat to allow proper function. This is dependent on driver height and seating fitment.
* Harnesses must be in good condition, properly worn, latched and adjusted, and securely mounted onto a harness bar, roll bar, or roll cage only. An SFI or FIA-approved race harness is recommended. The lap belt should be worn low and tight across the pelvis/pelvic bones. Shoulder belts must have individual mounting points and should not be angled more than 20 degrees from horizontal. Clip-in harnesses must be pinned or wired to prevent release.

* The roll cage/roll bar must be constructed to normal professional industry standards. All bends must be smooth and continuous with no signs of crimping or material failure
* Portions of the roll cage that have the potential to come into contact with the driver or passenger should be padded. Areas that could be impacted by the helmet should be padded with padding meeting SFI 45.1
