Thats why arm tethers are a good idea.

Might be a silly question, but what happens if it rains?

Cages are too big for a hard top, I guess they just keep racing. I myself would prefer to race an MX5 with a cage built to fit under a hardtop.

Fair enough, I was referring to the uploaders comment in the video. He was saying the spec cages they have are too big for a hardtop.

The guys over the ditch reported a 2 second a lap difference between hardtop on and off. That's a lot. I'd be getting any poll protection to fit under the hardtop
