Where can I buy a cheap suit for sprinting
Hello,
As per the title, I am entering my first sprint competition and need a suit. I am not the bank of England so I need to get one as cheaply as
possible. Any ideas where I can look for a suitable item?

eBay is your friend, second hand FIA racesuits can be had from about £75 upwards, the 86 spec FIA suit is fine for sprinting, what's your
build?

Don't forget you'll also need fire resistant gloves too
PS DON'T get a kart suit, not fire resistant

Thanks for the replies. I am 5' 10" with a 47" chest and a tad under 16 stone. In other words I am short and tubby.

I'd try looking around size 58 then, you don't want them tight
