Hope this helps.

Hi Peter,

Our technical/safety team are looking into the cages area as a matter of urgency and we will let you guys have an answer soon.

Understood. It would be massively appreciated if the decision could be announced before 11th December as thats when the group buy closes. ta.

I think for the sake of clarity you need to understand what each organisation is looking to produce, where there events are held and what level of competition they will be running with.

Do some homework and then put your findings up for us all to see as we would be interested in seeing the results of your findings

Following on from a thread recently regarding DVD's and broadcasts, are any TV channels interested in transmitting the series? Motors TV, Men & Motors, Sky?

It would be awesome to get that sort of exposure and i'm surprised it hasn't happened already (they transmit banger racing so why not drifting!!).

The point of Steves post is that the Cusco cages are slightly narrower than the ones the regs curerently state. Im sure if the EDC made the Cusco dimesnions as an absolute minimum it wouldnt affect anything OVER them would it?

Hi Steve,

After chatting with 'Scrutineer', and subsequently talking over the safety implications with our insurance company, it seems highly unlikely that the Safety21 cages will be passed for 2007.

Also other areas worth noting at this stage are:

1. Expandable/adjustable/removeable side bars that some people have fitted will have to be seam welded and not tacked into place once adjusted.

2. Padding will be required around any cage area that is close to the driver and/or the crash helmet. Exact distance(s) to be confirmed.

3. Safety harness's behind the seats will not be able to have an angle no more than 15 degrees from horizontal from where they exit the seat above from the drivers shoulder areas. Preferential fitment for these will be to a cross bar running behind the front seats and between the main cage uprights.

4. Firewalls must be installed.

5. Regulations on approved crash helmets will be available soon.

The above fall inline with general current motorsport safety standards and regulations that are accepted across the board and within the motorsport industry.

Insurance and safety is an area we are not prepared to compromise and this year has shown us what we are doing is seen to be professional and has the drivers safety as the number one issue.

Safety costs money unfortunately and these areas are not meant to be off putting or demeaning to Drifting but as we are the main guys in the spotlight around Europe we have a responsibility to the scene to ensure our actions are seen to be 100% correct.

Please don't try to draw us on the why's and wherefore's as we are quite aware of these but rememeber we do not kid ourselves that there is any such thing as safe motorsport, and there never will be

More information to follow.

Regards,

Admin
