The 2 piece stuff (Drag Racing Gear) is fairly stiff and restrictive and pretty sure not allowed by cams.

In my opinion single layer suits are only as good as a pair of jeans and long sleeve shirt.

I would go with a 3 layer suit.

My reasoning is that the $300.00 spent on a single layer is money wasted and only makes the price of a good suit $300.00 more when you realize you need to protect your self better.

The best way to answer your question is when you are stuck in your car and it is burning, what suit do you wish you had on then?

I agree with Phil... You never ever want to have to use it.... BUT.....

Mate, buy the best you can afford.. I'd be going 3 layer 1 piece plus a very very good helmet and then keep going till your credit runs out! It need not be driver error that causes an issue...Sometimes its just the racing gods that like to have their say...

There are 3 piece suits ex NASCAR on USA ebay 2nd hand that are great buys.. If you want to try mine on to get an idea of what the different manufactures sizing is no probs. I have a PUMA and an OMP. I'm sure Ash wouldn't mind you trying on his either. If you want to run your car at the track definitely take your safety seriously. I know its hard as its alot of coin when starting out but thats the way it rolls I guess.

Let me know if you want a hand. I'm OK mates with Ryan Mcleod who owns Racer Industries and I'm sure he will look after you if you want some gear.

Well there was a time when there was an issue with my suit, but now it is sorted.
