| Affected Section | 18.4 B. |
| 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 recommended for Slalom, Ice Race and Sprint 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 recommended for Autoslalom, Ice Race and Sprint drivers in cars equipped with 5 or 6 point harnesses. |
| Reason for Rule Change | Currently there is only one FHR device (Simpson Hybrid) that is compatible with OEM three point harnesses. The commonly available FHR devices such as HANS, require at a minimum 5 point driver harnesses. The change is only intended to alert drivers to the full impact of using FHR devices. |
