Default Racing Harness

Does anyone have any info on any available 4 or 5 point racing harnesses available for the F-Type? (From Jaguar or aftermarket)

Would it be easy to install without an interior modifications? Anchor points, etc...

To have a 'proper' 5 point harness install, it will require interior modifications (as well as a seat with a hole in the base). 4 points typically aren't allowed at most safety conscious organizations (unless for AutoX only). However, if you are just looking for something to hold you into place while on the track, here are some suggestions I usually suggest for street cars:

1. No cost. Move the seat more rearwards than normal and set/lock the seat belt. Next move the seat forward to normal position.

2. CG Lock: CG-Lock Autocross/Solo Driving

Mahjik,

Thanks for the info on the CG Lock. I have been reading up on the "un-safe" issues with submarining and a 4 point harness, so I guess that's out.

I will definitely be autocrossing the car, and if I can grow my cajones large enough to take a 100k car out on the track, I HOPE to experience a few track days.

I do, however, plan to keep the F-Type as my daily driver, so I don't want to do too many "race car" mods...
