A roll cage appears to be the way to go, adding a decent level of safety while not being too obtrusive. Next question:

Is there any need to pad the cage around the head area or will you be so well strapped in there isn't a chance of bouncing around in the case of a collison or in the case of an accidental off-road excursion from loss of grip?

A roll cage will make ingress and egress a little more challenging... or does it run down the center of the roof?

I just answered my question because I recall seeing all GT40 drivers ingress and egress easily, which means the roll cage runs down the middle and not along the edges of the roof and "door line". [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
