New Seatbelt For Non-Professional Drivers
STORY HIGHLIGHTS:
- The CG-lock is a must have for track day enthusiasts
- It tightens your seatbelt like on a plane
- The CG provides you with 80% of the normal holding power
If you like the new porsche 911 gt3, and you think your 4-door saloon deserves more, you can improve it with a CG-lock.
What is it? It isn't a brand new engine, it's not the name of that outrageous tuning kit you've always wanted, it isn't a diesel to petrol conversion kit... it is a device that straps you in your seat and makes you think you're Lewis Hamilton... But without Nicole, or any pussycat doll, without the money and without the car.
What this device does is to tighten the seat belts for your convenience. Say you want to go for a Sunday thrash on a B-road in your estate car. You belt up, apply the CG-lock to your seatbelt, at maximum grip, so you don't feel your bones anymore, and you go out and start cornering at speeds you would normally consider safe.
The thing is that this contraption bolts you in your chair and your body doesn't move around anymore as much as it would without it. The CG-lock actually makes your normal seat feel like a Recaro 6 point harness.
It's brilliant. On the upside, the shoulder harness stays loose so you can easily reach the controls of the car when you need to.
It is said that the CG-lock provides you with 80% of the holding power of a full racing harness. It is applicable on any type of car, on any type of seatbelt, so it doesn't matter if you have an 1980 Renault 1300 or a 2008 Mercedes T-model. You'll feel like in a Ferrari F40.
