UPDATE. Out on SS1 of the Red Kite Rally yesterday. Position just as bad as the previous rally but the organisers had stationed a scrutineer (actually a Technical Commissioner) at the start to check on things. Actually things were a bit of a shambles due to so many crews arriving unready to start. I estimate that at least 30% of crews had FHRs not fitted correctly, helmet straps not done up or other dangerous deficiencies.

That was in spite of the organisers having emphasised the issues at scrutineering.

Also notable was the incompatibility between the 3" belts used by most rally drivers and the HANS/Simpson versions worn which were for 2" belts. There is a whole list of other problems. I'm sure the scrutineer will be taking these up with the MSA.

Regards

Jim
