RaceQuip Suits At Day Motor Sports

Racing had changed a lot in the last 60 years, but nowhere more than the safety precautions drivers are required and encouraged to take to protect themselves.

One of the most vital improvements in driver safety is their suit. These suits have worked miracles, protecting drivers who were engulfed in flame for extended periods of time.

They are, in short, a miracle of modern science.

Day Motor Sports offers a variety of fire retardant racing suits that will ensure your driver comes out safely.

How Do I Choose The Best Racing Suit?

Rating

Racing fire suits are always rated according to SFI standards, and you can normally find these ratings on the wrist or shoulder of the suit itself. These ratings certify certain levels of protection from SFI 3.2A/1 with a TPP value of 6 and SFI 3.2A/20 which has a TPP value of 80.

TPP values are a way of measuring how flame retardant each layer is. Generally speaking, if you half the TPP value you’ll get the number of seconds the layer will protect the driver from receiving second-degree burns.

Layers

Suits can contain a different number of layers. Each layer adds to the protection for your driver, doubling the amount of time they can be exposed to flame without sustaining injury. Of course, each layer also makes the suit more expensive, too.

To further increase protection, drivers should also wear flame retardant underwear underneath their driving suits.

Comfort & Fit

After accounting for the safety of the suit, you should consider your driver’s comfort and how it fits. There are both one-piece and two-piece suits available, and your driver should try on both and see how they feel.
