Racewear - where - Barry - 21-06-2022
The Austin Seven plateau at this year's Circuit des Remparts, Angouleme, calls for full racewear - nomex underwear, socks, balaclava, boots, and race overalls - to FIA 8856-2000 and FIA 8856-2018 standards. Does anyone have a small/medium outfit that could be lent or bought - to fit a petite lady driver(5'2")?

I can't help unfortunately, as i've entered the same Angouleme race. Can i add a similar plea to borrow an outfit to fit a 6ft 4" gent...

McGill Motorsport are local to me and i have used them several times over the years for various bits, last year i bought a helmet from them, they were the cheepest at such short notice. Give them a call, very friendly and helpful.
From memory Zamp helmets are the cheepest on the market, however they had low stock in some sizes last August when i needed one - that may have changed now tho.
Racesuit i bought from Ebay - second hand but with several years left on the tag date.

Be careful with your choice of helmet. It should be a perfect fit and the cheapest is not always the best - you'll only ever have one head
