None during race driving. I honestly never noticed them. The only proviso I'll add is that reaching out the window net to signal a point by was a little bit harder (because the objective of the arm restraint is to keep your hands INSIDE!).

No, almost none. I practiced getting out and it was simple and easy.
Mine are from Sparco and cost $30. They have the web loop at the bottom which worked fine for me.
