Racing Fire Suits & Go-Kart Suits

Buy Premium Quality Racing Driver Suits Online

Up until the 1960s, professional drivers wore regular shirts and slacks while competing. However, as safety concerns began to grow, many switched to one-piece racing suits – though these were made from flammable cotton. It wasn’t until Niki Lauda’s firey 1976 crash at the Nurburgring that we saw flame-retardant racing suits made from proban or nomex being mandated in motorsports. Although modern race cars are much safer than their counterparts from yesteryear, fire still remains an ever-present threat for race drivers. However, thanks to modern, hi-tech race suits, chances of drivers sustaining fire-related injuries have reduced massively.
