Go to Apexspeed.com and look at the thread they were just running yesterday
about drivers suits.
It might be to your benefit to register on this free site as there are many
famous and knowledgeble people who have raced formula cars for years and
there is a wealth of info available there. I have worn a 3 layer suit with
no underwear and a one layer suit with Nomex and then carbonX under that. It
gives you three layers but the carbonX takes quite awhile to burn. CarboinX
also wicks the sweat so you do not parbiol from steam in your suit while
getting out of the flames. Do not wear any regular cloth underwear (no jock
either). You do not want anything under your suit that will flame up from
heat before the firesuit burns through. You alkso do not want the nomex to
shrivel and also stick to your skin thus the carbonX next to your skin is a
really good deal. As far as arm restraints go there are pros and cons to
having them sewn to your suit. Read the threads from the guys who have been
in fires on the Apexspeed site. This will be the best info you get.

Hi all,
Now that I've found a car, it looks like I'll be able to do a driver's
school in March. Aside from the requirements listed in the GCR
section 9.3.19, is there anything I should look for in a drivers suit,
and related equipment? I can get a good deal on Alpinestars... do
they make good stuff?
Thanks!
-Chris
