5 Point Harness ???

Recommended Posts

New to NASA, I have a 96 Miata and I believe I'll be running in the PTE class because of some modifications that have been done to the car. The car will have the stock seats but I would like to add a 5 point harness because having had some autox experience I prefer the 5 point over the stock seatbelts, as it seems to keep you nice and tight in the car, (no sliding about). I know the 4 point harnesses are disallowed, my question is, are 5 & 6 point harnesses allowed?

 

Thanks,

If you are running in PTE then you are in the race classes and you will need a proper rollcage, competition seat, and all the goodies.

 

If you are running TTE then you need standard HPDE equipment. The stock seat will not work well with the 5 points as it will not have the proper harness guides in the backrest so you should either stick with the stock OEM 3 points or get a proper competition seat.

 

Good luck and feel free to fire off any other questions.
