Overalls for sprints and hillclimbs

[ds666]

After 6 years out of competing I've just bought a car for next season . Will my old overalls still be ok to use ?
I understand there's info in the msa book , section k , but I don't have a copy .
My overalls are Sparco with an fia label " norme 1986/1986 standard 01.008.csai.87 "

Thanks

Relevant section is below, although might be worth waiting until the 2013 book comes out in a few weeks time..

9.2.1. Throughout practice and Competition, all Drivers must wear clothing, helmet and goggles complying with K.9 to 11 or, where appropriate, the specific Class regulations for Drag Races. Overalls homologated to either FIA 8856-2000 or FIA 1986 standard are mandatory. Competitors are required to wear flameresistant gloves (K.14.3(e)).

Gloves as well (from 2010 IIRC).

Yep - and Helmet rules have changed as well in the last 6 years (2009 IIRC) - best check your one still complies before your first event
