FHR Devices (Frontal Head Restraints) are used in almost every form of motorsport. They are compulsory in most motor racing events worldwide due to the life-saving benefits they provide. The HANS device is used in NASCAR, F1, NHRA, IHRA, USAC, Rally, Drag Racing, Drifting, WOO, Champ Car, Sprint car and most forms or Autograss, Stock Car Racing and oval racing worldwide. It has been proven that many drivers who have tragically lost their life’s due to impacts in motorsport would have been saved if they had been wearing a FHR device.

The purpose of a FHR device is to stop the head from whipping forward in a crash, without otherwise restricting movement of the neck. In a crash, an unprotected body is decelerated by the seatbelt with the head maintaining velocity until it is decelerated by the neck. The HANS device maintains the relative position of the head to the body, with the device transferring energy to the much stronger chest, torso, shoulder, seatbelts, and seat as the head is decelerated.

The Hans Sport 3 is the latest FHR device to be brought to market. The design of the device replicates the devices which are currently used in F1, whilst using a more affordable polymer material. The hollow collar section reduces the weight of the device, making the Sport III the lightest, most comfortable composite HANS device available at just (600-650g). The 20 degree recline (layback) angle makes it ideal for rally / oval racing / saloon car racing and all forms of racing which have an fairly upright seating position. The new sliding tether system is fitted as standard, providing much greater freedom of movement for the driver whilst racing.
