I think if its an msa sanctioned event the belts and competition seats need to be in date. But that might be just for rallying.

A bloody stupid rule I have a couple of willians harnesses fitted but never used, simply because the guy fitted them but then never got the car out because of family extensions..

Also he has a real nice set of sparco seats that he bought to put in after she got tidied up same thing never got used so no good.

Yet you could have a shunt in 1 car today fit them to another for tomorrow!

they will need the relevent E markings for road use to pass SVA won't they? despite the fact that the competition spec will almost certainly exceed the road spec
