Today, let’s discuss racing harnesses.
A good racing harness isn’t just vital in keeping you safe during a crash, it’s an essential part of making sure you’re planted firmly in your seat, so you can maintain control of your vehicle.
Yet it’s not as simple as picking a harnesses that fits the seat you’re using—you’ve got a ton of other factors to consider, including its proper installation. After all, even a precisely-spec’d racing harness won’t protect you if it’s not installed correctly.
That’s why, even though we’ve already published a 101-style post on safety harnesses, this video from Summit Racing is so valuable. It’ll show you some common harness types with a direct visual component, as well as explain a lot of the safety harness terminology you’ll come across as you shop for a harness for your race car.
