TRS Motorsport tow loops. Manufactured in 6mm 7×19 stainless steel wire, with crimped copper ferrules, for corrosion resistance and a long service life. To meet the 2017 MSA requirements, the wire loop is finished with a brightly coloured plastic coating and a high visibility TRS logo tag.
The tow loop should be securely attached to the vehicle chassis or sub assembly using the smaller looped end, leaving the 60mm diameter main loop protruding through the bumper or grille. The soft tag is attached in case it needs to be retrieved from behind the bumper, but also helps it to be easily and clearly visible to rescue operatives in the event of an accident.
These stainless wire tow loops have been fully tested, with a breaking point in excess of 2.6 tons, which is typically twice the weight of most motorsport cars. The MSA regulations recommend four towing loops per vehicle, already mandatory in BTCC, but is also now a requirement from 2017 as per the latest MSA and FiA regulations.
*NB* Only the RED Tow Loop Meets MSA & FiA Requirements
