Robi knows what he's doing.

I don't know the details behind that bar, but it could just be a custom fabbed one off. I'll check with him, as belts would be nice.

It also looks like the belts angle upwards from where they're resting in the seat shoulder slots (should be between level and 20 degrees downward), but perhaps it levels out with a sufficiently tall person's shoulder on the other side? And you'd definitely still need something else on the bar to keep the belts in place, e.g. ziptied rollbar padding at least.

Why would they need to cross?

I agree that the drivers shoulders would probably raise the belts to the level of the bar. you want about a 90 degree angle with your spine.

If you tighten the straps well enough, they shouldn't slide side to side.. keeping them in place wouldn't be 'needed'... and yould only need to keep them about 6" apart if you use a HANS.

The only thing you would HAVE to check is how the belt is looped to the bar, but at first glance that would pass any race tech. (assuming the bar is sturdy)
