Hi,

In preperation for my first season of racing i need a race suit.

I have already bought everything else - stilo st5 gt helmet (composite), adidas boots, gloves and underwear.

I am based in the uae and so expect it to be quite warm inthe car! Budget is mid level, around £500. Can be flexible on this but not if it doesn’t bring noticeable benefits. For example i bought my boots and gloves after trying on pretty much everything in tweeks’ showroom and much preferred the fit and feel of the cheaper adidas daytona to omp’s one evo and sparco’s rb-8 (didn’t have time or money left to try on suits!).

Which suit would be best at this price point? I will be racing both open and closed cockpit cars over the life of the suit and value comfort and fit over everything else. Doesn’t have to be a major brand as long as it’s FIA compliant.
