Abstract
Safety systems in rally car are quite different than systems in passenger car. Differences arise from various factors including usage specifics and vehicles construction. In this paper authors presents comparison of conventional and rally safety systems. The basis parameters for evaluation were injury criteria determined for driver during frontal crash. For research authors used models developed in Madymo software. Results allowed to identify differences between common car and rally safety systems.
