TAKATA Racing has attempted to make this racing harness manual extensive
and comprehensive. We have created it to help the reader understand racing
harness installation, use and maintenance, and how it relates to safety in
motorsports. Intensive research and experience in motorsports has led us to
prepare up-to-date instructions for optimized anchor point locations and racing
harness design features. What was considered acceptable in the early and mid-
1990s has changed and evolved as the result of currently available data.
Therefore, we ask the drivers, mechanics, teams and race car manufacturers to
read and heed the information in this manual carefully. Safe and effective use
of a Head And Neck Restraint also depends on specific restraint routing and
anchor point locations.
“The sanctioning body regulating the motorsport series in which you
are participating may have additional information specific to your
chassis. All information in this document is based upon the best
knowledge as of August 2012.”
This harness belt, when properly installed and used according to
applicable instructions can minimize injury. The ability of any
restraint system to minimize or prevent injuries is directly related
to the type and severity of accident. No restraint system can
prevent injury or death in every accident.
Racing harness belts are NOT designed to be installed into street
legal vehicles, and DO NOT meet federal and state vehicle safety
regulations. They are designed and tested to be used exclusively in
race cars and only in on-track events.
