The biggest advantage of a harness is that you become an integral part of the car b/c you're strapped to the seat. As a friend (who used to race IMSA in the 70s) says "Any time you spend trying to stay in the seat is time that you don't spend driving".
As a result of being "immobile" you may, as in Rich's case, have to sit a bit closer to the pedals/shifter and may have to turn the seat back more vertical. If you wear glasses or sunglasses, be careful to set them within reach and also somewhere where they can't fall from reach (ask me how I know). The most embarassing situation is to get yourself fully strapped in and finding that you can't reach the open door - there's nothing like having grid workers laughing and pointing at you... --- Rich Blake <[email protected]> wrote: > On the track, I don't think there were any monumental advantages > but I did > find myself concentrating more on driving than holding on in some > areas.
