Oops, I had a brain fart and didn't write that very well.

You're right of course. What I meant to say was that an event such as Rallysprint would require cages, harnesses and full fireproof suits. Event owners Targa West Pty Ltd have managed to attain exemption from this and hence non-caged, non-harnessed cars with people not wearing fireproof suits are allowed to
compete.

So in regards to the upcoming HANS device implementation, again an event such as Rallysprint would require a HANS device to be used, and again Targa West Pty Ltd would attain exemption from this.

(As an aside: If these special exemptions were not made for the Rallysprint, I would suggest that the event couldn't happen as there wouldn't be enough Tarmac-spec car numbers competing to cover costs.)
