Safety net in monte carlo?
Hi everyone, this is my first post here;
Did anyone notice that the Subarus and Suzukis had a net between the driver and codriver? It's visible in the onboard shots. It looks like a safety feature, but I can't understand in what sort of accident it would be useful and what it would prevent...Anyone have a clue what these are for? I understand window nets -nascar style- are to prevent arms going out of the window when you roll over, but between driver and codriver? I don't get it.
Anyway, you could see that chris atkinson's right elbow was rubbing against the net quite a lot, that must be distracting or uncomfortable.
Also, if it's a safety thing, why don't ford and citroen use them as well?
If anything they should install them on the fords, so gigi can't punch his codriver
