Sgt Pepper Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 ......presumably anything that is FIA approved will be suitable. Have I got that right? Representing the Caterham division of the VSCC 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaterBram Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yup but i've gone the hole hog and got the italian shoes to match 😳, only pair of italian's i've ever owned and yes the most expensive. but then what price is safety., you only find out when you really need it and then only realise if you haven't Q469 WET, 1990 Caterham 1690 Crossflow Long Cockpit in Ali except for the red bits.

u01rsb Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Do they have to be FIA approved for 2010? I have some sparco ones that aren't that I usually wear. I thought 2010 was reccomended and 2011 was mandatory. Just trying to put off the expense for a year! Thanks, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted February 10, 2010 Support Team Share Posted February 10, 2010 Blue book for 2010 has the following in section (S) 9.2.1: Competitors are required to wear flame-resistant gloves (not mitts or gloves with open backs). There is no mention of any FIA standard but FIA approved gloves would guarantee compliance. In the section on Competitor safety there is mention of ISO6940 but in the same section it says that this standard is "advised". Brian - can you confirm this?

Simon.Rogers1 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Shaun is correct and Nick Alger (Westfield SCC) and a member of the MSA Speed comittee is looking into this as we speak. So far as he is concerned as long as they are Nomex or similar material that meets the ISO standard they comply. I'll confirm when I have more info.
