This past weekend I saw an STi do an end-over-end twice, then 2 barrel rolls at a weekend track event. A very nice driver, and not a novice. Luckily, she was completely unharmed. However, it made me realize the sport/hobby is not without risk. So, as I decide on a system--Hans vs. Hybrid vs other, I like the idea of the Issacs system. Any experience or info? Thank you. I have a GT3 (2010) 997.2, GT3 seats with standard Schroth 3" belts and DAS roll bar (B pillars back to shock mounts). I am also double posting on racing site.

I have no experience with Isaacs but I went straight for HANS being that they are the "original". You can use a HANS perfectly well with 3" shoulder belts.
There is a HANS Sport II model that was supposed to debut in February and should hopefully be out soon. It will split the difference between the original Pro model and the Sport model - could be worth waiting for...? (I am)

Do your research. I have an Isaac and really like it, wish more sanctioning bodies would allow it.
I would NOT buy a HANS and didn't. I'm a big guy and my belts seem to loosen slightly while driving hard (I check shoulder belts every lap or so and re-tighten) and there is no doubt in my mind that a HANS would allow the belts to slip off. For events I can not use the Isaac I bought a Defnder which makes it much more difficult for the belts to come off.
