No idea here. As I said above, the point of contemplating the 4-point was less about rollover worry than about safely mounting harnesses for better driving, without upgrading a rare rollover event into a suicidal event.
I really don't expect my car to roll over at an HPDE at all, it seems far more likely that I get an angled hit on a (hopefully tire) wall, get rear-ended coming down into a corner by some guy with a brake problem, or something of that nature. I suppose a side-hit would be likely if I spun out and came back across the track into someone's path.
Probably bad luck to even mention it, but I've never had real, complete spin in this car. My closest call was on my very first time at a road course ever (direct link to a few seconds before: MSR Aug11). That was technically a spin in the sense of "off-track excursion", but meh that's semantics. I've never lost control to the point that the car went back-end-first or even fully sideways towards anything, and I really don't plan on it. You know how plans go, though
