JNWRF01 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Initial thoughts on first use of Hans device with my RF04. I used my current 3 in belts - but was mindful to have them strapped up as much as possible. Apart from the initial restriction in being able to move you head to talk to people when sat in the car, I could feel zero difference once driving.

However, the big difference was that it did make my shoulders pretty sore/stiff the following day - but I would say almost 100% that once used to them, that most people would struggle to notice you're wearing them. (I should stop being such a wendy and complaining about sore shoulders!)

Likewise, chatting to the various scruts post our race at Cadwell today, most of them felt it is inevitable that they will become mandatory soon (apparently all Drag racers have to now use them), with the senior scrut feeling this could be as soon as 09.
