Turn One 6-Point HANS Racing Harness (FIA 8853-2016)

Manufactured in the UK by harness specialists TRS, the Turn One 6-Point HANS Harness offers uncompromised safety and exceptional value. Fully homologated to the rigorous FIA 8853-2016 safety standard, this setup features 2-inch shoulder straps specifically tapered to sit flush within your Frontal Head Restraint (FHR/HANS) channel, ensuring your harness webbing never walks or slips off during hard cornering on dirt or tarmac ovals.

Designed for quick cockpit entry and fast pacing adjustments, the harness features smooth steel adjusters alongside a compact, lightweight aluminium rotary quick-release turnbuckle. The narrow strap connection clips allow for effortless positive engagement even when wearing thick racing gloves. For added paddock convenience, one shoulder strap includes an integrated hook-and-loop velcro strip to cleanly route and secure your intercom headset cable or hydration drinks tube.

• Rotary Quick Release: Features a low-profile, central aluminium turnbuckle assembly for rapid, single-motion driver egress.
• Dual-Mounting Versatility: Can be locked down using standard eyebolts or easily converted for wrap-around installation onto an integrated structural roll-cage harness bar.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can this harness be used without a HANS or FHR neck collar?

A: No. This harness features 2-inch shoulder straps specifically tailored to align with an FHR device. Running a 2-inch shoulder belt directly over naked race suits without a collar can compromise load distribution across your collarbones under emergency stops.

Q: Why does this harness have an extra 5 years of life listed?

A: Thanks to Motorsport UK (MSUK) rule parameters, valid FIA-approved harnesses receive an extended five-year validation cushion beyond their international stamp expiry exclusively for UK national and club motorsport events, making this a highly cost-effective long-term solution for local autograss and short-circuit racers.
