Current Regulation

The use of a Frontal Head Restraint Device complying with FIA standards 8858-2002 or 8858-2010 or SFI Specification 38.1 is mandatory as of January 1st, 2012 for all Race, Time Attack and Vintage drivers

Proposed Regulation

The use of a Frontal Head Restraint Device complying with FIA standards 8858-2002 or 8858-2010 or SFI Specification 38.1 is mandatory as of January 1st, 2012 for all Race, Time Attack (with passing), Time Attack Unlimited Class, Hill climb and Vintage drivers

Reason for Rule Change

The majority of Time attack (no passing) classes (Sport, Tuner & Max) do not require a roll bar or roll cage. So there would be no possibility of installing the necessary driver restraints (harnesses) required for Frontal Head Restraints.
