FAQs
The Auto & Karting collection includes FIA-homologated racing suits for professional motorsports, karting suits for competitive kart racing, and specialized designs for various disciplines including circuit racing, rally, and endurance competition. Each suit category features specific safety certifications, material constructions, and design elements tailored to the demands of different racing environments.
Karting gloves and boots in this collection meet FIA homologation standards specific to karting competition. These certifications ensure adequate protection levels for karting environments, including abrasion resistance, impact protection, and fire-resistant properties. Racing gloves and boots designed for auto racing carry FIA 8856 certifications, providing higher levels of protection required for professional motorsports.
Racing suits in this collection are constructed from advanced fire-resistant materials including Nomex, a meta-aramid fiber that provides exceptional thermal protection. Professional-grade suits feature multi-layer construction with Nomex outer shells and moisture-wicking inner linings for comfort during extended racing sessions. Material weight and layer count vary based on FIA certification level and intended racing discipline.
The choice depends on your specific racing discipline and certification requirements:
| Feature | Karting Gear | Auto Racing Gear |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Use | Kart racing and rental karting | Circuit racing, rally, endurance |
| Certification | CIK-FIA homologated | FIA 8856 homologated |
| Protection Level | Optimized for karting speeds | Enhanced thermal and impact protection |
Review your racing series' technical regulations to ensure compliance with required safety standards.
While karting and auto racing gloves share similar construction principles, they are designed for different certification requirements and use cases. Auto racing gloves typically feature FIA 8856 homologation with higher thermal protection levels required for enclosed cockpit environments. Karting gloves are optimized for the specific demands of kart racing with appropriate grip patterns and flexibility. Always verify that your gloves meet the specific FIA or sanctioning body requirements for your racing discipline before competition use.
