Motoring Research Ltd (November 2009)
Chris Hubbard, Senior Writer from Motoring Research Ltd put the CG-Lock to the test on track and on the roads and came to the following conclusions…
Track use:
"With the CG-Lock hauled on as tight as I could stand it, I cannot consciously remember any instance during the day where I found myself forced to hang onto the steering wheel, or brace my knee against the door trim to stop myself sliding in the seat."
General use:
"most definitely does serve as a constant reminder to sit up straight."
"…it worked brilliantly."
"…the CG-Lock is so easy to use it quickly becomes second nature to slip the lever and tug the belt tight as you plug the buckle into its socket. The added security it provides to your location in the car seat has got to be good for safety, right? And after several days doing exactly this in the Twingo, then moving onto a new Volkswagen Polo without fitting the Lock (it’s going into my Mazda), it actually feels kind of odd to be without it."
"…for the money it’s hard to see at this point how you could go wrong."

"This device is unobtrusive, in expensive, reversible and very easy to fit. So perfect! Does it work? Well from our testing it does make a difference to your driving experience. Lotus Esprit World tested this device on our 92 SE with Sport 300 seats, so we had pretty good stability from the start. The CG-Lock made that even better and driving without it seemed very ‘loose’ after only using the device a few times. We also tried the device on a Lotus Elise with slightly less bucketed seats and the improvement was even better. Using this device on standard Esprit seats will make you’re ‘fast road’ driving and ‘Track Day’ driving more involving
All Lotus Esprit World can say is, if you’ve ever wanted a four-point
harness, this is a must. It’s the closest you’ll get without cutting into
your bulkhead and having fixings mounted in your engine bay. Lotus Esprit
World thoroughly recommends the CG-Lock for the Esprit."

"To say I was impressed is a big understatement. The difference was noticeable from the first corner."
"I just can’t get enough… it’s a bargain and the service you get from the CG-Lock Team is fantastic".
Corral.net (January 2007)
"Although simple in principle, the CG Lock proves itself very effective in practice. With the lap belt pulled tight and the CG Lock fastened, the driver instantly feels secure in the seat"
"On track, or in this case the Nurburgring, you need to be strapped in, and tight!! Well the CG-Lock is brilliant!! Pulling the belt nice and tight before you set off, really pulls you back into your seat, and leaves you full control of your arms and legs where you are able to make quicker and more precise reactions as these extremities are now lighter and free on the controls, and importantly not bracing you."

"Could you ever imagine that your vehicle’s seatbelt could be a place where you could make a single modification to improve the performance and safety of your vehicle? This little piece of technology gives you “Racing Harness-Like” security for your regular vehicle."
