seems really expensive to me. You can get a suit that meets all the lotrdc regs for approx 200 quid. Obviously you get what you pay for with safety stuff, but if you think your going to burn to death, you wouldnt be racing would you :lol:

Scotty,

I got a good 3 layer suit from Sabelts direct.


Either phone or drop them a line - or sparco/alpinestars for that matter and see if they have any old line stock that they are trying to shift.

There isn't that many racing drivers out there our size so they will probably have something suitable.

I just went and bought this suit. I called and tried to haggle but they were having none of it.

I went for this suit as it is a lightweight one(like my racing skills) and fingers crossed it will be hot.

Suits you sir! One of my mates uses a similar one for rallying. He swears by it

All you need now is a white helmet with blue mirror visor some white boots and gloves and you can really scare the opposition
