Multi-Point Harness
When the first Japanese Grand Prix was run at the Suzuka Circuit in 1963, only half of the race cars were equipped with seat belts, and it was commonplace to see ambulances racing to crash scenes. In 1964, Takata developed Japan’s first 5-point full-harness seat belt. The Subaru 360 that competed in the 1964 Japanese Grand Prix was equipped with a complete Takata safety harness.
In 1998, Takata developed the Multi-Point Harness (MPH), a full harness for the DOME Co., Ltd., F1 race car. This harness was designed not only to help ensure the driver’s safety, but also to minimize the burden on the wearer. In addition to being used on the Takata-sponsored TAKATA DOME NSX, it was also adopted for use by other GT, CART, FN and F3 formula race cars. For drivers who wanted both safety and a winning edge, there was simply nothing better.
