Look mate your the boss. If you want a Micky Mouse cage, crack on :grin:
Its only that I am passionate about safety, and think that all race, TA, drag cars should stipulate a means of protecting the driver.
Usually its not until its too late that people actually realise how important safety is.

I am not wanting to argue as I appreciate your sentiments I just dont follow why fitting a cage in a series where a cage is not compulsory is going to reduce safety for me. Nothing here had made it clear to me why this would be the case. Maybe I am just stoopid :D

I have no idea why FIA SFI cages are not compulsory in the clubman class?? :? Looking through the regs they have tightened up a number of regulations though. Which can only be for the good from what I can see. At the end of the day all competitors will be driving 500+ BHP @ 101% round some fast circuits. I am sure you've seen/felt you car clip a rumble strip or kerb and loose its balance, or had a grassy off and nearly dug in? I don't think I need to explain anymore? :lol: :wink:

My assumption is that TA had to get the series launched and were a little lax with the safety regulations to appeal to a wider audience.
