Hi I need a new suit for Karting which i know any suit will do as im now looking into trackdays and possible racing in the distant future i would ideally like something that i can use for everything. Im not looking to OTT amounts so can i get anthing that will suit the above and where from?
Cheers

Thanks for the link, some cheaper kit compared to where i was looking on demon tweeks. i might pick up just a suit for karting but still unsure as to whether or not it would be possible to wear for a trackday as i think for racing its out of the question.

You should be fine at a track day with any suit (I don't think many bother what you wear), but you are correct, the minute you go into racing you will need at proper car racing suit.

depending on what level of karting you are doing, kart and car racing suits have different requirements, karts designed for abrasion restance not fire and opposite for car racing. may be possible to get one to do both if not MSA kart racing (may be ok for arrive and drive) but not aware of details you would need to check your regs, as for track days u can wear either if you so desired as no specific restrictions
