SCHOTH RACING
SCHROTH has been a leader in the manufacturing of racing and street-legal harnesses for over 50 years, with a focus on enhancing safety and performance through extensive crash testing. Their products are widely used in top racing series such as F1, IndyCar, and NASCAR.
SCHROTH has introduced several safety innovations, including the asm® safety system, SHR FLEX, and the RFR™ rotary buckle. They are licensed to manufacture the HANS® device, which they continuously improve through rigorous testing.
The document details various harness models, including those meeting the FIA 8853-2016 standard, Enduro belts, and specific models for Porsche and Lotus vehicles. Each harness is designed for specific racing needs and is FIA homologated.
This section outlines the technical background and testing requirements for the FIA 8853-2016 standard, which includes increased impact speed and peak velocity changes to ensure harnesses can withstand high G-force crashes.
The new standard increases the severity of dynamic testing, with impact speeds raised to 67 km/h and peak velocity changes to over 60 g. It also excludes 5pt harness systems and introduces Z-Strap harnesses.
SCHROTH developed FHR specific restraints to fit seamlessly with the FHR system, ensuring optimal safety. These are available in various configurations and are recommended for use with FHR systems only.
SCHROTH offers a wide range of customizable harnesses to meet individual racing needs, backed by extensive testing and compliance with the latest safety standards.
The harnesses are FIA homologated (8853-2016) and include various models such as the 6-point Enduro harness for Porsche 996/997, the patented Hybrid harness, and lightweight 4-point professional harnesses. Each harness features specific shoulder and lap belt dimensions, typically 2" (50 mm) for both, ensuring compatibility with FHR systems.
The harnesses are designed for easy adjustment and quick driver changes, crucial for endurance racing. The Hybrid harness offers a unique design that improves safety by directly transferring load through specially developed lap belt latches, reducing the need for T-Bar or D-rings, and allowing for a 7th point anti-sub strap for enhanced security.
The document suggests the Hybrid harness for touring and sports cars, rally vehicles, formula chassis, and prototypes due to its lightweight and secure design. However, it notes that the Hybrid restraint is not optimal for endurance events requiring rapid driver changes.
Additional products include anti-sub straps, shoulder pads, and window nets, all meeting international standards like SFI/USA/NASCAR and FIA appendix J. The iNDi Seat kit is highlighted for its customizable fit, enhancing driver comfort and safety.
Various seat kits are available for different racing applications, including Formula Renault, F3, IRL, Indy Lights, Super Formula, F1, GP2, Touring Car, LMP, Formula Ford, WSR, and historic cockpits. Sizes range from 15 to 70 liters, catering to both large and small drivers in tight cockpits or seat shells.
These are available with bendable stainless steel bolt-on hardware, suitable for pulling approximately 1800 kg. They meet FIA appendix J standards and come in fixed and adjustable lengths.
SCHROTH offers a range of FHR devices (XLT, PRO, EVO) known for their lightweight and protective features. The XLT series is 25% lighter than previous models, using advanced carbon fiber technology. The EVO model uses eco-friendly materials and is priced for entry-level users. All devices come with padding systems and a protective bag.
These systems include features like the Sliding Tether System and patented SlipStop™ Plus surface. They are designed for various seating positions and are available in different angles and sizes. Modifications to the HANS structure are not allowed as they invalidate FIA homologation.
Includes HANS replacement shoulder pads, sliding tethers, and post anchor clips. These accessories are compatible with FIA-approved helmets and systems, with professional installation recommended.
The SHR FLEX™ is a cutting-edge Frontal Head Restraint (FHR) system designed by SCHROTH. It features a low collar design that is angle-independent, allowing for flexibility in seating positions. The system includes form-fitting lower legs for optimal fit and stability without excessive padding. It is equipped with winglets and the patented SlipStop system for enhanced belt retention, particularly beneficial for off-road and rally competitors. The SHR FLEX™ is compatible with both 3-inch racing belts and 2-inch FHR-specific shoulder belts and is SFI 38.1 approved.
The SHR FLEX™ is constructed from high-strength carbon-reinforced materials. It includes a dynamic articulating collar, integrated padding systems, and a sliding "Twist Anchor" tether system. The design also incorporates a rate-responsive bump stop and retention winglets for improved safety and comfort.
These nets are engineered to the FIA 8863-2013 standard to control occupant movement and enhance safety systems. They feature a quick-release mechanism for fast exits and are made from high-quality materials. The nets are tested by SCHROTH Racing, SFI, and FIA, ensuring proven performance.
SCHROTH offers a range of harness belts, including 3-point and 4-point systems, with features like the asm system and quick disconnect tail straps. The belts are designed for both racing and street use, meeting various safety standards such as FIA, ECE-R 16.04, and FMVSS 209.
The document explains the advantages of 50 mm (2-inch) webbing over 75 mm (3-inch) webbing, emphasizing better fit within the Iliac Crest, reduced risk of submarining, and easier adjustment. The webbing meets homologation test loads, ensuring no compromise in strength.
The document discusses the advantages of 50 mm harnesses over 75 mm ones, highlighting their ease of adjustment in vehicles. It introduces the SCHROTH asm system, which stands for anti-submarining, designed to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during frontal impacts. This system is integrated into the inboard shoulder belt and is essential for 4-point harnesses used on public roads or as 4-point systems.
SCHROTH harnesses use specially designed polyester webbing, which is less sensitive to light, resistant to acids, and does not absorb moisture, ensuring consistent performance across climates. The webbing features a 'memory effect' with mono filaments that keep it flat, enhancing load distribution and comfort with round edges.
The Flexi Belt system allows for versatile configurations with pull-up or pull-down adjustments, adaptable to different lengths and mounting hardware. This system is designed to meet various needs with a single lap belt model.
SCHROTH harnesses are certified by German TÜV, ECE-R 16.04, and US-DOT for public road use. They can be installed alongside factory seat belts and feature a disconnect option for easy storage when not in use.
The document provides detailed adjusting ranges for different harness models, including Profi, Clubman, and Formula, with specifications for shoulder belts, lap belts, and crutch straps.
SCHROTH holds trademarks and patents for various technologies, including asm, RFR rotary buckle, SlipStop, Flexi Belt, and others, with pending patents for SHR Flex and Twist Anchor system.
