Tow strap

Hi there,

The idea is to take my Excel on track days.
It is recommended to have clear towing eyes and indicate them with an arrow if you don't want to wait
until a break before your car is pulled out of the gravel after an unwanted exit of the track.

As we know it has no towing eyes, I was thinking to mount tow straps.
Any suggestions on where and how to attach them?

Thanks,

Edward

I'm considering something similar to MDS' approach, using an 8mm alloy universal race/rally towing eye attached to the anti roll bar mounting. The issue is figuring out the best way to attach it, as the longest I could find was about 250mm.
