I'm trying to find a good six point harness to put in my Sxs for racing, because I don't feel comfortable with a standard seatbelt when I'm going ~35-40mph+ through the trees and its not something they'd allow on the track. I've been looking and I'm leaning towards a cam locking 6 point 3"/2" FIA approved Zamp Harness (I'm not sure if its HANS compatible), but I wanted to know if anyone has experience with one or can recommend a good harness that is HANS compatible? I've had a cheap Simpson 5point in the past for my hobby trail kart but I want something more serious now that I'm operating at higher speeds. Also do you think a camlock will be okay with all the dirt and mud?
This is the Zamp harness I've been looking at: https://www.zamp-racing.com/HARN03F003
To be more specific not straight up dumping people but them attempting a pass only for it to end in a crash right after. Here's some examples!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXHn7NH-mMs&pp=ygUbbmFzaHZpbGxlIHRydWNrcyBjcmFzaCAyMDIy 2022 Trucks Nashville when Majeski made 4 wide and wrecked everyone else being the perfect example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYOTDF_FO7I 2011 Cup Charlotte when Tony Stewart put Biffle in the wall in the middle of the race.
Now some classic examples
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOzXSMFcPP8&pp=ygUSMjAwOSBhbGwtc3RhciByYWNl Newman's 3 wide move at the All-Star race that ended with Gordon spinning.

Now I'd love nothing more than to hear your answers with links to the incident being much preferred!
What’s everyone’s thoughts of the place up to now?
Personally - After a recent visit I left feeling threatened by all the residential development nearby. The place seems to be under extreme pressure from the local county.
What is this little black nob called.
Can anyone give me a valid reason why there aren’t more Asian race car drivers??
Found this hat second hand. Anybody recognize the signature?
NASCAR season will be over soon and I need something to watch during the off-season. What are the most chaotic non endurance races from the Rolex Sports Cars Series and the American Le Mans Series? By non endurance, I mean nothing more than 4 hours
Hi,
I'm currently doing a project in which I analyse two turns on a particular track (undisclosed). Since I only have access to these two turns (Turns 1 and 2), the scope of my project is to find out what makes the 'optimal turn' in this stretch of track. I don't have much of an F1 knowledge so I thought this would be a good challenge to tackle.
So far I have access to features such as 'key moments' which let me know at which points of the stretch certain events happened (for example, a driver may brake for the first time at point X 200 metres between turns 1 and 2). I also have 'info moments' which let me know things like the distance of the car from the edge of the tracks (left and right), car position using xy coordinates, the amount of braking and throttling that occurred and such.
I've been trying to 'think outside the box' with this project. I've considered adding a 'drift' variable, which I will create using factors such as the steering wheel and car position when exiting a turn, just to see if it has an impact on reducing the time taken to navigate that turn.
Aside from this, I'm struggling to link factors together to reveal insights about what could make a good turn. There are obvious things like the position in which a driver brakes and seeing whether that influences turn time, but I want to hear from the community here about observations you've made that may be a bit more unique and niche when it comes to influencing a car's time during a turn.
Oh and we don't have access to driver information so personal statistics about the driver themselves can't be used (e.g. driver weight, height).
Thanks!
I’m considering a carbon fiber driveshaft. The short list is Q1A or FastShafts. The FastShafts is about $300 cheaper. I’ll admit the Q1A looks, better from the photos I’ve seen. Is there a reason to avoid either brand?
