I am just wondering some of the things people have on at track days and if they are necessary. If I am just practicing, I left my personal observation here and would like to hear from you
1. Racing suit. I don't think I'll need it. I am not in competition, and I am probably not going to get the car on fire.
2. Racing gloves. I don't think I need it. I find not gripping the steering wheel too tight helps preventing sweating tremendously. With racing gloves steering and shifting becomes kinda numb (more so)
3. Racing shoes. It helps karting, but doesn't seem to work too well inside the car. A pair of running shoes helps rolling my foot off the brake pedal to blip the throttle. Racing shoes require more pivoting movement at least for me.
4. Helmet. Again I have one from karting, but I don't think I'd need one for track days.
What do you think?
Regards
