No one actually wants to have to use the safety equipment installed in their race car. In those rare, unfortunate cases when the gear comes into play, however, we're all thankful that it's there.
The BimmerWorld team recently rolled their E36-chassis BMW at a ChampCar event–like, rolled it more than a few times. Once back at the shop, the crew walked through the car’s safety gear: How did everything perform, and can anything be salvaged for the next build? (Bonus content: Why, even when not required, a fuel cell makes good sense.)

Interesting. And educational. And, ow. Yeah, it's the second, third or fourth hit that can really mess you up.

Ah yes, a safety lecture from a guy wearing sandals in the shop!

In reply to Bobv07662 :
James drives in the sandals, too. He has a waiver.

I really like my SFI-certified Tevas. :)

Seriously, though, that was a heck of a shunt. On the third roll, do you care if your belts cost $50 more than the other ones that you considered?
