Hows tricks?? Nope lad you surely DONT need to use HANS (Head and Neck Support Device) in Irish Rallycross in 2009. I would encourage all Rally Competitors to consider rallycross from next year onwards. I think a recommendation should be made to the Irish Rallycross Committee that the Overall Rallycar Championship be brought back into Rallycross as a new home for Rally Competitors who just cannot afford to comply with the new safety regulations including the HANS Device. While I support the use of HANS as I wear one myself, I certainly can see that they are not the most economical Safety Device to be introduced for the Clubman. Rallycross is a great cheap days fun and it is the very place where I have learned a great an awful lot about being competitve. Paul. |

Yes indeed the powers that be on the Motorsport Ireland Rallies committee felt it was a good idea to make the HANS Device mandatory (Meaning everyone has to have it, driver & co-driver) for all Motorsport Ireland Permitted Rallies, (excluding rallycross, rallysprint, sprint, hillclimb, race) from 2009 onwards. Paul. |

Have to agree with paul, hans is a great safety innovation but it could put alot of competitors out in the dark. I think last time i checked the Hans unit on its own was €450 euro without a helmet.
At present its just not econimically fiasable, perhaps in the next 2 years when the products become cheaper then it may be viable, or if becomes inforced some form of financial plan or a bulk buy scheme should be introduced (Mark C know you were looking at something recently ?). Just my two cents of it. |

Thanks for the reply Paul, Now that i have the house as good as finished, i can start to think about motorsport again.
and as was said rallying has gone too expensive and with mondello only over the road from me now i think i will look into doing some rallycross. Best of luck on Sunday |

This is mentioned in the latest issue of "Motorsport Now" - All Irish rally events will require HANS (including those running cross border). It's a big cost and it could certainly see a lot of people looking at alternatives.
