FIA approved overalls
Discussion
So I'm looking to do only 1 sprint a year so require among other things FIA approved overalls now as my plans are so infrequent I was looking to keep costs to a minimum.
But it would appear I'm looking at around £300+ For an FIA 8856 2000 or FIA 1986 standard overall. Is this right? And any recommendations on where to look for a deal?
Suddenly something that was looking to be a good value event once a year does not look so appealing.

It really is a case of shopping around. But it would appear I'm looking at around £300+ For an FIA 8856 2000 or FIA 1986 standard overall. Is this right? And any recommendations on where to look for a deal?

And dont forget license, helmet, gloves, in some classes HANS device etc
You do also get people selling them second hand if really on a budget

I have a spare set for sale in Size 50 - if you are a diminutive gentlemen of 5' 8" or lower we can talk turkey...But it would appear I'm looking at around £300+ For an FIA 8856 2000 or FIA 1986 standard overall. Is this right? And any recommendations on where to look for a deal?

Do they have to be younger than a certain date. Mine have a date of manufacture of 2007, I had something in my head of them having to be replaced after 10 years, due to material fatigue, (Less fire retardant).
Couldn't find anything in my quick scan of the blue book...? Have I made this bit up somewhere over the years...?

So long as they meet the FIA spec in the Blue Book and have no visible rips, holes etc, they are fine. I was wearing a 1999 dated suit up until a few years ago.Couldn't find anything in my quick scan of the blue book...? Have I made this bit up somewhere over the years...?
