Doubt it honestly...

HANS is great for a sudden forward STOP... It doesnt do much for side to side. Even HANS admits this. Thats not its design purpose.

This is my buddy...his passenger rear wheel broke and he ran it over and spun... he has a 6 point and a HANS, but no containment seat. This is a pretty benign incident... see how much lateral movement he has?


He now has a full containment seat.

A full containment seat with head restraint is likely what saved him.

FIA has some crazy data on head restraint seats. They are possibly as big a safety item as HANS, but for lateral body/head movement.

Its a huge reason I put a containment seat in my track car.

And that seat is small potato's compared to, im sure, what NASCAR is running with full up custom seats for each driver.

Lost mine at 45/50mph when my axle broke.

Same. I used to prefer the S4 with its flat plane twin turbo'd V8 like you posted, but lately the Series 3 turbos have been really growing on me. Must be all that 80's nostalgia. No mistaking that Giugiaro design from a mile away.
