SOrry might sound silly.

What about Industrial fire proof overalls?

Can drivers wear them for D1? :_:

 

[Demon]

joeker,

errr... i dont think so ler, coz they did mention that fireproof RACE SUITS are compulsory...

 

[kei-office]

ok .............. latest info i found to share out ! yup the suit is just a layer and yes its fireproof ! price selling is quite reasonable and of course we can't compare with those FIA approved suit ! those suit easly selling over a thousand ........ not just for round 3 they need all of the driver suit up and for coming round all driver will asking for suit up ! however FIA suit with fireproof is damm expensive and coming with 3 layer but now with this nomax suit is better then nothing when the driver caught in the fire !

so what is the colour choice ? i been looking for green colour is there any green ?

C'mon guys. I think Amprex is doing a much better job here than expected. They bought in cheap protection for your racing needs. Where else can you buy a fireproof race suit less than RM600? And they did this so that competitors could still compete with cheap budget.

Anyway for those who are quick to write off a cheap fire proof race suit. Lets take it this way. You are not supposed to bake yourself inside a burning car! It is protection and some time delay for you to get out of the car safely. Even FIA approved ones quote this in their product lines. The more expensive ones gives you more protection form heat in the form of triple layer fabric.

Joeker's suggestion is also good. But the fabric weight is a let down. Another problem is the coarse fabric restricts mobility. You might have problems getting in and out of the car. And probably chaffing from the coarse fabric rubbing on your skin, even with undershirt.

maybe can check for sure, suit is FR cotton or nomex or is the rules going to be change to accomodate this material as well. If following the rules this suit cannot be used as it is not nomex..... If change can race suit made of Proban be used instead....

 

[monsterv6]

the suit are only for D1 competitors or anyone also can buy..??
cause b4 this i was told that only D1 competitors can purchase the suit..??
