Auto racing gear requires careful maintenance to preserve fire-resistant properties and FIA certification validity. Hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle with cold water and mild detergent specifically designed for technical fabrics. Never use bleach, fabric softeners, or high-heat drying, as these can compromise Nomex and Kevlar fire-resistant materials. Always air dry racing suits flat or hanging, and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Inspect gear regularly for wear, and replace items that show significant damage or have reached their certification expiration date.
Yes, this collection serves both professional racers and enthusiasts participating in track days, amateur racing series, and driving experiences. While professional competition requires specific FIA homologation levels, many track day organizers accept certified racing gear that meets minimum safety standards. The collection offers products across different certification levels and price points, allowing you to choose appropriate protection based on your racing discipline, experience level, and event requirements. For high-performance track use, prioritize FIA-certified suits, gloves, and boots even if not mandated, as they provide superior fire protection and impact resistance derived from championship-level motorsports.
