SCHROTH Racing Driver Window Door Cage Nets kits are engineered in accordance with the latest FIA 8863-2013 standard to help control occupant movement and enhance your overall safety system (seat, harness, cage, etc.) by strengthening the headrest and shoulders of the seat system and help guide the occupant back into the seat system during an impact. Exclusive from SCHROTH, our easy-to-handle push-button buckle makes proper installation nearly effortless. Tested by SCHROTH Racing, SFI and the FIA, these nets provide proven performance both in the lab and on the track. All nets feature high-quality materials and construction and are equipped with a Quick Release mechanism to ensure a fast exit.
SCHROTH offers this high-quality Race Driver’s door window net for the best in driver safety. It attaches to the roll cage of your race car. Made of polyester, these nets will last longer than competitors’ nylon nets, as polyester is not as susceptible to UV degradation over time.
We view race nets (also called ‘cage nets’) as a mandatory piece of safety equipment. In an impact, the body moves forward 6-8 inches. This is normal and quite necessary because to prevent injury, the harnesses stretch to decelerate the body. If you are in an offset impact (an impact that is not straight on), there are high lateral forces that will move you side to side. If you do not have a race net, it is very easy for the body to wrap around the side of the seat when the harnesses have stretched.
A Race Net prevents this by guiding your head and shoulders back into the seat keeping you from painful injury.
Please note, this used to be an SFI rated product, but is now FIA 8863-2013 window cage net kits.
-
The Schroth window net kits are tested with a DYNAMIC load, so it more accurately represents the real world.
- The FIA recommends that a net be installed on either side of the seat for driver restraint, the FIA does not view the exterior net as adequate for restraining the driver, they would like to see two interior nets whenever possible. Tudor series currently enforces this and mandates two interior nets as well as a window net.
- Use With HANS FHR Device.
Read carefully the section about installing the net in the car. The FIA requires that 2 vertical sections are in contact with the seat back to provide support. Schroth has added additional vertical sections to the FIA net, so the 2 nets are not the same. Also, make note of the angles involved in the installation.
The FIA requires that the net be mounted with the horizontal sections of webbing on the inside by the driver so the driver’s helmet has a smooth surface to slide down in an accident. On Schroth nets, this can be accomplished on both sides by simply flipping the net over.
The FIA requires that the quick-release button be capable of being released under load, which is why Schroth developed the new-style quick-release. The ratchet strap has been removed from the net due to its inability to withstand the dynamic load, the same as for the metal clasp on previous nets. The new quick-release is lighter and safer than previous versions.
