Proban suit any good/allowed for driver's?


Recommended Posts

Mike is always saying during the drivers meetings that during a  fuel pit stop that everyone needs to be in full nomex. Does the Pro Ban suit made by K1  pass inspection for Champcar for a driver's suit?

Wow, I should have read that before I posted ...

I'm not a fan of treated suits personally, but as long as it is SFI and/or FIA approved, and meets the requirements, it is legal by the rules...

 

3.11.1. All driver’s suits possessing a valid FIA and/or SFI certification shall be legal for competition, regardless of date of certification or manufacture, HOWEVER, any suit determined by ChampCar Tech and/or Gear Inspectors to be worn, frayed, torn, have holes, grease/oil stains or other conditions that are deemed by ChampCar Officials to reduce or negate the item’s designed effectiveness will not pass tech and shall NOT be allowed for competition. ChampCar’s decision is final.

 

3.11.2. If using a single-layer SFI 3.2/A1 or 3.2/A3 suit, the driver must also wear fire-retardant SFI- or FIA- certified undergarments. Multilayer suits rated SFI 3.2/A5 or higher are highly recommended and may be worn without undergarments.

Yeah, such a shame that sometime during the race, that same BMW is behind the wall being fixed after hitting the runaway wheel from an MR2..😁

FTFY...

 

Just so people know, I LOVE Bill Strong.  He is awesome and I just like to harass him.  :P
