New Simpson head restraint

Information came in from Demon Tweaks.
Looks like a more comfortable alternative to HANS

I've been occasionally researching them for a few months since my doctor recommended them as a more comfortable option to HANS with better sideways support as well. He uses one in a TR2A. Apparently they're pretty popular in historics. Higher cost is an issue as well as varying opinions on comfort. Some people prefer these while some prefer conventional HANS. I guess you'd have to try them first.

What a nuisance to get into though...for a 10-15 minute dash around the track...
