I was just reading an article in Vintage Racecar magazine, which discussed the enforcement of certain safety devices in Vintage racing. Seems like the Americans are really gung-ho, as Hans devices will be required as of August 2009. In England, on the other hand, this will not be the case. Actually, they will allow for one to race without seat belts if the car was manufactured without them.

I think that coming from a motorcycle background, I would tend to agree with the English on this one. Compared to a motorcycle, a car is so much safer that the addition of multiple safety devices may be considered overkill.

In the end, an indvidual must select the degree of risk which is appropriate to him or her.
